The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program has shed light on the sobering reality of human trafficking and drug offenses. Covering a span of nearly a decade, from 2013 to 2022, the recently released report has compiled data that chronicles the bleak journeys of over 10,000 human trafficking victims. This information, now available to the public, underscores the persistent prevalence of these crimes in society.
According to the FBI Dallas on Facebook, the report aims to provide insights that can fuel the fight against this form of modern-day slavery, and illicit drug trade. It provides a detailed outlook on nature, the victims themselves identify from a myriad array of backgrounds, each ensnared into a web of exploitation that knows no borders, nor respects personhood.
