BUYER BEWARE: WHY JOHNS SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH STATUTORY RAPE FOR BUYING SEX FROM A CHILD Amanda Shapiro* Despite the common conception that human trafficking is pri- marily a problem beyond our shores, sex trafficking is a growing epidemic within the United States. Sex traffickers are increasingly preying on children in particular in response to growing demand for paid sex with younger girls and boys. Strikingly, the criminal justice system charges and prosecutes these trafficking victims for selling sex even though they have been forced into the trade. Un- like trafficked children, the adults who buy sex from them are rare- ly charged and, if they are, the charge—a low-level misdemeanor or violation—fails to reflect the gravity of their crime. Take away the exchange of money, and the justice system appropriately deems these children victims and their patrons rapists for engaging in the exact same acts.

Ezebilo1 1 Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Alnarp, Sweden Correspondence: Eugene E. Ezebilo, Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Box 49, 230 53 Alnarp, Sweden. Tel: 46-4041-5197. E-mail: [email protected] Received: October 28, 2013 Accepted: November 21, 2013 Online Published: December 29, 2013 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n2p10 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n2p10 Abstract Although ecotourism is fast growing industry information on travels to different ecotourism destinations are often not easily accessible. This paper reports reviews of literature on eco-tourists behaviour regarding choice of destination for ecotourism and factors influencing the choice. The importance of information in marketing of ecotourism and eco-tourists’ satisfaction are discussed. The eco-tourists who are visiting a destination for the first time go through all stages in the decision-making process and extensive information search before choosing the destination to visit. Eco-tourists who have visited the destination in the past go through only some of the stages and limited information search. Eco-tourists’ choice of an ecotourism destination are influenced by factors such as, the family, friends, societal values, preferences, safety and promotions related to the destination. Decision regarding re-visiting an ecotourism destination depends on the level of satisfaction that the eco-tourist experienced during his or her first time visit to the destination.
