Final Thoughts/Conclusion

All in all, we each agree that human trafficking is inhumane and deserves harsher punishment. These people should not be allowed to wander the streets selling children's bodies for copious amounts of money. The ones that get caught deserve a harsher and longer punishment in jail as well as contributing to those who they affected along the way. Those convicted of sex trafficking should be registered as sex offenders in order to protect children in the future and to ensure close watch on the offenders. Sex offenders should then also be forced to disclose their internet accounts to further aid in the protection of children and others that sex offenders may wish to harm. Human trafficking is a serious problem in our society--more so than most people think, and the more attention we bring to the issue, the closer we get to patching up the problem. Prop 35 is just one thing we can do to help those who have suffered at the hands of human trafficking, but there is still plenty more that can be done.

  1. I think this was a great topic to blog about and needs more attention in today's society. Human trafficking is a horrible crime and any measure to increase its punishment should be part of our justice system.

  2. Your blog is backwards for some reason but I see you fixed it. This is a very interesting topic you guys received and did very well in explaining it. Human trafficking should get more attention.

  4. I agree that harsher sentencing for those at fault is a must, but what about the situations where girls are trafficked from other countries and forced into prostitution? Much of the time, they are sent to prison as well. Under this proposition, this is a possibility. Thoughts?

    1. Well since the proposition only increases sentencing for the offenders, I don't think it would send the girls to prison.
