2014 NI Trafficking results are in

[TonyB]

The law is wrong, everyone knows that but at the same time something has to be done about trafficking. It's not near as prevalent as we are lead to believe but showing statistics saying it's not near as bad is no argument as to why it's wrong, how many trafficked victims is justifiable if that were an acceptable argument, 1, 2, a 100?

Trafficking is already illegal.
If the new law drives sex for sale underground, will this stop trafficking?
Personally I believe this approach is wrong on many levels.

You're preaching to the choir but as I said, showing statistics is not an argument if there's even 1 case of trafficking on it.

Showing statistics puts things into perspective. The statistics show that it is no where near as prevalent as people were led to believe, it is contained and it is under control. In fact they show that the current laws are well able to manage the problem and if they do feel there are more trafficked out there not coming forward, how is the new law going to bring them out and make it easier for them? It isn't! it's going to make it much harder.

We can look forward to seeing those statistics rise in every area in the coming years. I just hope that I don't find myself on the 'crimes against sex workers' list that will increase.
