The role of trafficking in international prostitution of adults is often exaggerated, overshadowing the trafficking of minors, which is consistently underestimated. The article discusses the relationship between socioeconomics and cross border trafficking, noting that most traficcking occurs within and between third-world countries. The article argues that prevention should concentrate on the main source countries. This prevention would require efficient police and intelligence cooperation, domestically as well as internationally.
