Recent legislation defines trafficking as a criminal offense, increases penalties for traffickers and those who patronize prostitutes, and aids sex trafficking victims. This Research Bulletin examines Illinois arrest trends by year and Illinois region to gauge the level of response to trafficking- and prostitution-related crimes by law enforcement between 2000 and 2011. | | | | Date Created: | 11-17-2013 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000052120 Original UID: 173257 FIRST WORD: Research | |
