Calculations versus counting of human trafficking numbers

Thomas M. Steinfatt argues in his article in favour of counting the actual number of human trafficking cases as an alternative to estimating the size and range of human trafficking through statistical projections. With his research on sex workers in Cambodia he shows how data on victims of trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation can be obtained by analysing communication methods used in the sex industry, locating the actual premises and directly observing the criminal activity in progress.
