Human Trafficking in the United States
Every year, the National Human Trafficking Hotline compiles a report of the calls or alerts they receive pertaining to human trafficking.
​
The National Human Trafficking Hotline defines human trafficking as, "a form of modern-day slavery. This crime occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his/her will.
​
Trafficking can be geared toward sex, labor, or in some circusmtances, both. The report found that the majority of cases involved sex trafficking.
​
California has the majority of reported human trafficking cases, while Alaska has the least.
