Indiana State Report on Human Trafficking 1 | P a G E Indiana State Report on Human Trafficking 1 | P a g e December 1, 2016 Dear Colleagues, Human trafficking, a scourge against humanity, has far reaching impacts nationally, internationally, and in Indiana. I am pleased to provide the first comprehensive report in the State of Indiana on human trafficking. This is a project prepared over the past 18 months by many individuals and organizations who contributed to the work of the Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficked Humans Task Force (IPATH), the state-wide human trafficking task force, and others who serve victims and who contribute daily, such as members of law enforcement, victim advocates and legislators. In 2009, when I first became co-chair of the task force with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, little was known about this horrific crime, its victims, the perpetrators, or the trauma inflicted on those who fall prey to it. Through my service as the Chair of the National Association of Attorneys General Special Committee on Human Trafficking, I further realized the scope of this scourge and its impact on victims nationally and across the globe. Today we know far more than we did then, or even as far back as 2005 when the taskforce was first created. While we have made tremendous progress in policy, legislation, and research, we still have a long way to go. I am proud to present a summary and overview of the work done by many people in our state, from victim service providers to law enforcement, to lawmakers and researchers. This report represents a cumulative picture of those efforts, and outlines, most importantly, a path forward with ideas, recommendations and thoughts for the future. The goals of the taskforce include prosecution, protection and prevention. Indiana legislators have worked hard to strengthen state law and our prosecutors have brought traffickers to justice. Another area of focus is protection -- services for victims, who often are not easily identified, and who are usually not only fearful, but reluctant to come forward after many years of early childhood sexual abuse, no support, and intimidation by those traffickers who profit from the sale of victims. Finally, our work must continue to address prevention -- means to protect and educate victims before they are trafficked as well as reduce demand. I hope that you find this report to be valuable, and I encourage you to use this as a resource. Thank you for your dedication, selflessness, efforts, ideas, and contributions in this area.

Executive Summary Human Trafficking is a violent, multi-billion dollar international, national and local criminal enterprise in Indiana and the Midwest; 178 trafficked youth were identified and served by one Indiana service provider in 2016 alone, with victims first trafficked as young as age 7. The Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficked Humans (IPATH) task force began its work in 2005 and is now a thriving statewide coalition of state agencies, law enforcement, service providers, faith based and community groups collaboratively working to prosecute traffickers, protect and serve victims and prevent future trafficking. This State Report on Human Trafficking outlines the scope of human trafficking in Indiana and beyond, state and federal human trafficking law, and provides a resource for stakeholders and the general public on the task force efforts to date with respect to prosecution, services provided to trafficked victims, and prevention efforts around the state. The report also outlines next steps and recommendations for future efforts to combat human trafficking in Indiana. II. Introduction National and International Scope and Overview of Human Trafficking Human trafficking is the fastest growing and tied as the second largest criminal industry worldwide, generating 150.2 billion dollars each year.1 Throughout the world, some 27 million people are exploited through human trafficking. 2 One of the many myths about human trafficking is that it does not occur in the United States and does not affect U.S. citizens. In reality, this exploitive violent, criminal industry places an estimated minimum of 300,000 American youths at risk of becoming victims of commercial sexual exploitation. Moreover, a U.S. Justice Department study of its human trafficking task forces nationwide, found that 83% of sex trafficking victims identified in the U.S. were American citizens. 3 1 Profits and Poverty: The Economics of Forced Labour, (International Labor Organization Report) (2014). http://www.ilo.org/global/about-the-ilo/newsroom/news/WCMS_243201/lang--en/index.htm . 2 U.S. Dept. of State Trafficking in Persons Report. https://www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/ (2016). 3 This statistic is based on one study of confirmed sex trafficking crimes opened by federally funded U.S. task forces.

Indiana State Report on Human Trafficking 4 | P a g e Worldwide, 1 million children fall victim to the commercial sex trade each year. 4 It is estimated that between 14,500-17,500 human beings are trafficked into the U.S. annually. 5 In fact, the United States is among the highest destination countries for human trafficking. 6 The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) defines sex trafficking as, “a commercial sex act that is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age” 7 (Youth less than 18 years of age are treated as victims under the law without proving the elements of force, fraud or coercion). Labor trafficking is defined as, “the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.” 8 Human trafficking

  • Child Pornography Is Sex Trafficking
    Child Pornography is Sex Trafficking January 31, 2017 By Human Trafficking Collaborative Network (HTCN) 1 On December 30, 2011, Former President Obama declared January to be National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. The general public’s awareness of human trafficking has improved considerably over the past years. At the time of this writing, the last day of the 2017 Human Trafficking Awareness Month, we are grateful that many community activities have been held in St. Louis and surrounding areas. Some activists participated in a series of anti- human trafficking campaigns at the Missouri Capital; some held a vigil for survivors and victims who lost their lives; some held resource dissemination events to better inform service providers, concerned citizens and students. In light of a very recent high-profile indictment of a St. Louis County child pornography case, we are compelled to providing regional information on child pornography in the context of human trafficking. As defined by the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (TPVA, 2000), [i] human trafficking includes recruitment, harboring, provision, receipt, transportation and/or obtaining of individuals by using force or threats, coercion, fraud and/or using systems of indebtedness or debt bondage for purposes of sexual or other forms of economic exploitation. Coercion includes threats of physical or psychological harm to the 1.

  • Subway Officially Cuts Ties with Jared
    adage.com http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/subway-officially-cuts-ties-jared/300012/ Subway Officially Cuts Ties With Jared Maureen August 18, Morrison 2015 Subway has appeared to officially sever its ties to longtime spokesman Jared Fogle after news reports surfaced that he was going to plead guilty to possession of child pornography charges on Wednesday. Said the company on Twitter: Earlier on Tuesday, a local Fox affiliate reported that, according to sources, Mr. Fogle was going accept a plea deal on Wednesday, but not much more detail was available. Mr. Fogle initially had his relationship suspended by Subway in early July after federal authorities raided his home. At the time, the federal agents did not specify why they investigated Mr. Fogle's residence, but it came less than two months after Russell Taylor, executive director of the Fogle Foundation, a group that is dedicated to helping teach kids healthy lifestyle habits, was arrested on child pornography charges. Following those charges, Subway and Mr. Fogle said they had severed all ties with Mr. Taylor. ADVERTISING After the federal raid, Subway distanced itself by saying that it had "suspended" its relationship with Jared, but that language left some wiggle room for the brand to reinstate it. The company also removed its Jared references from its website, including what became an unfortunately named game on its kids' site called Jared's Pants Dance. Whether any of this will affect Subway's business of course remains to be seen, but it's possible it won't impact it much. "I don't think it will materially impact Subway -- they already distanced themselves from him," said marketing consultant Denise Lee Yohn in an email.

Such dramatic weight gain while locked up is not an unprecedented phenomenon, researchers have found. Fogle is serving a sentence of more than 15 years for child pornography possession and having sex with underage prostitutes. Before that, Fogle spent 15 years as the face of Subway, crediting his regular diet of the chain’s sandwiches with helping him to lose 245 pounds. His weight loss relapse was reported this week by InTouch Weekly magazine. But there have been other prominent cases of prisoners gaining weight. Serial killer Gary Lee Sampson was reported in 2014 to have gained about 150 pounds over the course of roughly 11 years behind bars. Singer Chris Brown reportedly gained 35 pounds after about three and a half months in prison. Experts blame several factors, which can work in combination with each other.

  • From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988
    From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988 Elizabeth Kai Hinton Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2012 Elizabeth Kai Hinton All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988 Elizabeth Hinton The first historical account of federal crime control policy, “From Social Welfare to Social Control” contextualizes the mass incarceration of marginalized Americans by illuminating the process that gave rise to the modern carceral state in the decades after the Civil Rights Movement. The dissertation examines the development of the national law enforcement program during its initial two decades, from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which established the block grant system and a massive federal investment into penal and juridical agencies, to the Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, which set sentencing guidelines that ensured historic incarceration rates. During this critical period, Presidential Administrations, State Departments, and Congress refocused the domestic agenda from social programs to crime and punishment. To challenge our understanding of the liberal welfare state and the rise of modern conservatism, “From Social Welfare to Social Control” emphasizes the bipartisan dimensions of punitive policy and situates crime control as the dominant federal response to the social and demographic transformations brought about by mass protest and the decline of domestic manufacturing. The federal government’s decision to manage the material consequences of rising unemployment, subpar school systems, and poverty in American cities as they manifested through crime reinforced violence within the communities national law enforcement legislation targeted with billions of dollars in grant funds from 1968 onwards.

  • On “Violence Against Women”
    On Violence Against Women Bennett Capers* I. INTRODUCTION We all know the statistics. One in three women has experienced domestic violence.1 Nearly one in five women has been raped.2 Quite simply, it is not safe being a woman. Or a girl for that matter.3 It is definitely not safe being a co-ed on campus.4 Or a woman in prison.5 Or a female gamer in the virtual world of gaming.6 And there is danger on public streets, if the response to a viral video of a woman being catcalled in New York City is anything to go by.7 Even women who have been trained to use physical violence are at risk. I am referring to the Stanley A. August Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School. B.A. Princeton University; J.D. Columbia Law School. E-mail: [email protected]. The genesis for some of the ideas contained in this Essay first originated in remarks given at a panel entitled Sexual Assault and Violence Against Women at the symposium Locking Up Females, Failing to Protect Them, and Punishing Their Families and Children, held at Southwestern Law School. So my first thanks go to my co-panelists from that event for a lively exchange of ideas. My second thanks go to Aya Gruber, the guest editor of this Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law symposium, for inviting me to participate in this symposium and prompting me to think more deeply about those earlier remarks, and to adapt those remarks into this Essay.
