Human trafficking, sex crimes, war crimes, and the media’s effect on crime are all areas I am predominantly interested in researching. Academics have greatly influenced my research interests and have provided me with the some in depth knowledge of human trafficking, sex crimes and war crimes. These areas interest me so greatly that I desire to learn even more about them. As a senior I am currently conducting research on human trafficking as part of my senior project. I am analyzing media’s portrayal of human trafficking victims. This research has caused me to see the discrepancy between real victims and mainstream media’s version of victims. During this project I have looked into the causes of human trafficking, the different reasons people are trafficked, the race, gender, age and locations and destinations of the people being trafficked. If able to further research this topic in graduate school I would look into offender motivations and the dynamics of traffickers, so I can fully understand this offense from both perspectives. I would also be very taken with the idea of scrutinizing large sports events such as the World Cup and the Olympics to see how the market for human trafficking swells due to them. Another research area of great significance, to me, is sex crimes. I was recently exposed to sex crimes in a Criminal Profiling class I was able to take last semester. This class, shocking at times,

In the article, New Directions in Research on Human Trafficking, Weitzer brings up interesting points on why studying human trafficking is becoming an issue, especially when there has been growing coverage in the media and more and more activist groups are showing up. Many articles and resources don’t have accurate data within, Weiter says “a review of one hundred academic articles found that few contained original data and most treated as “sources” or “evidence” the assertions of government agencies and international organizations, consistently failing to reveal their sources. ”(Weitzer, 7) Many celebrities have been claiming to becoming an expert on trafficking, however many pronounce their activism in hopes on enhancing their careers and reputations, not caring if there information they are talking about is correct(Weitzer, 7).

This is one of the major reasons I choose criminal justice as my major, so that I can understand the inner workings of the criminal justice system to better understand the history and eventually bring awareness to the spots that need improvement, such as the racial stereotyping that causes sentencing disparities. Because of these reasons and many more, I am following the path to becoming a civil rights attorney. To this very day, civil rights are still being violated and I wish to be a part of the change that will help uplift and encourage others to speak out on civil rights and help those in need. Though I understand that I can not stop civil rights from being violated, I do wish to be the change that the court system in the criminal justice system may need to improve itself.
