Sex trafficking has become a lucrative enterprise for many street gangs and it rivals drug and arms trafficking in attractiveness. Drugs or guns can only be sold once but a human being can be sold over and over. Gangs can sell their victims seven days a week and use marketing techniques to attract all sorts of buyers. Organized criminal networks are drawn to sex trafficking because they can make lots of money with an extremely low start up cost and risk of being caught by the authorities. There’s also a seemingly endless supply of “product”- young people vulnerable to their recruiting tactics, and “demand”- people, usually adults, desiring to pay lots of money for sex. Gangs have the networking skills to connect buyers with human beings viewed as products in a cycle of sexual enslavement that provides them with enormous profits and status.
