Key Takeaways
- Human trafficking in the United States is primarily a domestic problem - the networks that exploit victims are embedded in local economies, not foreign smuggling chains.
- Intelligence analysis designed for counterterrorism translates directly to trafficking network mapping - the analytical process is nearly identical.
- What law enforcement agencies most often lack is not resources or motivation - it is the analytical capability to turn raw data into actionable target packages.
- The evidence base for why disruption at the network level produces outcomes that individual case prosecution cannot achieve at scale.
