According to the U.S. State Department, 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, of which 80 percent are female and half are children. Prostitution is illegal and yet an American State openly allows it. These facts are evidence of a larger truth; the world of your reader is complicated and confusing. This collection of essays are arranged in a pro versus con format, so that the controversies of prostitution and sex trafficking become more accessible to understand. Is prostitution and sex trafficking a serious problem? How should society view prostitution? What factors contribute to prostitution and sex trafficking? What policies should govern prostitution? These four questions are answered across four chapters of fascinating essays.
