This study looks at and examines RAFT (Rapid Appraisal for Trafficking), its design, and
procedures, and using RAFT explains how to develop a screening tool that can be used in
emergency departments throughout the country to identify those who are victims of human trafficking presently or have previously been victims of human trafficking. The study highlights a need for a broadly applicable screening tool to be implemented in emergency departments, however recognizes that this is difficult to do because little is currently known about emergency department patients and their experience with human trafficking. What the conclusion that author come upon is that in order for emergency departments to effectively implement human trafficking screening tools, there needs to be
an understanding of how screening tools were developed this would determine if the screening tools being implemented would actually be appropriate for the setting it is trying to be implemented in.

Hospitals, specifically emergency departments are one of the few circumstances in which human trafficking victims come in contact with the general public, as such it is important for emergency department workers to have an understanding of human trafficking and the
ability to recognize signs of victims. This paper examined the efficacy of evidence-based
online training modules relating to human trafficking that were given to emergency department personnel. These training modules consisted of a PowerPoint Presentation, two realistic case studies, and identification treatment guidelines. Research that was examined was collected from emergency department personnel in two suburban hospitals in a northeast metropolitan city. Staff who participated in the online training modules included nurses, physicians, ED technicians, and nurse practitioners/physician assistants. What the results showed was that 89% of those who participated had not received previous training relating to human trafficking, after completing the training module, 96% said they felt more confident in their ability to identify and help victims of human trafficking. These results highlight the need for human trafficking-specific training to be implemented throughout the nation in hospital settings. Greer, Benjamin Thomas, and Jeffrey G.

“Corporate supply chain transparency: California’s seminal attempt to discourage forced labour” by Benjamin Thomas Greer highlights the issue of human trafficking, specifically
focusing on the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010. Throughout the paper the author highlights corporate globalization and its contribution to human trafficking, making it become of the largest and fastest-growing criminal enterprises in the world. The author emphasizes that as companies continue to expand globally, the risk for vulnerable populations continues to rise, as corporations are searching for ways to maximize profits, one way being cheap labor. However, to combat human trafficking, such as forced labor, corporations need to be held accountable, the way the author suggests, following California’s Corporate Transparency Act is for corporations to be
transparent with consumers about their supply chains. “With proper supply chain disclosure, activists can target corporations which sell goods failing to meet the community’s standards and voice their disapproval with a free market approach of shopping elsewhere.”

This article by Salvador A. Cicero-Domínguez analyses human trafficking and how it affects US-Mexico relations and how each state is combatting the growing problem. The paper also discusses policies implemented on both sides of the border, for example, the deportation of former criminals in the US back to Mexico, reviews the positives and negatives of the implemented policy, and proposes multiple policy measures to address the growing problem. One aspect the author touches upon is the lack of government cooperation between Mexico and the US and the impact of criminal deportees on smuggling and trafficking. The author explains that while law enforcement cooperation between the US and Mexico has been beneficial in combatting human trafficking, there is
a lack of cooperation in information sharing, particularly when it comes to criminal deportees. This combined with stricter border security, and new laws expanding the deportation of criminal aliens from the US has made it so the border has become increasingly unsafe. The majority of the proposals the author offers are non-law enforcement oriented. While the author does recognize policies that stress law enforcement are effective, he recognizes they also create problems relating to amount of illegal immigrants in the US prison system and the subsequent deportation of said

criminals and its effect on Mexico, a law-enforcement-only approach does not resolve trafficking at its root. Tara Woods, "Utilizing Supply Chain Transparency Measures to Combat Trafficking in Persons: A Comparative Analysis of the U.S. and Swedish Systems," Public Contract Law Journal 48, no. 2 (Winter 2019): 423-[ii]
In “Utilizing Supply Chain Transparency Measures to Combat Trafficking in Persons: A Comparative Analysis of the U.S. and Swedish Systems” author Tara Woods discusses the efforts to combat human trafficking within corporate supply chains through transparency policies. Woods also does a comparative analysis of the policies the US has implemented to combat human trafficking to the policies Sweden has implemented to combat human trafficking. The largest takeaway Wood’s makes about current transparency legislation in the US is that it is not being used effectively and violators are not being prosecuted at the rate they should be. Through her comparative analysis Woods suggests that the US could learn from Sweden, particularly in public procurements, and recommends that the US increases audits and compliance measures for the FAR “Combating Trafficking in Persons” rule, as well as provide grace periods for action plans when violations in supply chain transparency are found. The author argues that if the US were to adopt similar supply chain policies to that of Sweden, it could strengthen anti-trafficking measures and efforts in the US. Summary
All the articles discussed address multiple aspects of the fight against human trafficking, covering topics such as screening tools to identify trafficking victims, training programs for emergency department staff, transparency in corporate supply chains, and the impact of human trafficking on US-Mexico relations. The first article “Building RAFT: Trafficking Screening Tool
Derivation and Validation Methods” by Chisolm-Straker et al., investigates the RAFT screening tool. This tool was designed to identify victims of trafficking in emergency departments, recognizing the challenge of implementing screening tools that can be broadly implemented due to the limited knowledge about patients and human trafficking. The second paper “Educating Emergency Department Staff on the Identification and Treatment of Human Trafficking Victims” by Donahue et al., looks at the effectiveness of evidence-based online training modules focusing on human trafficking for emergency department personnel. The article highlights the role of emergency personnel in identifying human trafficking victims, the study showing that after staff had gone through the training modules, they were more confident in their ability to identify and help victims. “Corporate Supply Chain Transparency: California’s Seminal Attempt to Discourage Forced Labour” by Greer and Purvis looks into human trafficking and corporate responsibility, specifically examining California’s Transparency in Supply Chains Act. The paper not only examines California’s transparency act, which serves as a foundation for many subsequent Acts that have been implemented in the US, but also examines the impact of corporate globalization on human trafficking. The author emphasizes the role of informed consumers and how their choices can influence corporate behavior. Author Cicero-Dominguez in "Assessing the U.S.-Mexico Fight against Human Trafficking and Smuggling: Unintended Results of U.S. Immigration Policy" looks at the relationship between Mexico and the US and the efforts from both countries in combating human
trafficking. While the author discusses policies that have been implemented in both Mexico and the US, he emphasizes the impact of criminal deportees in human trafficking and recognizes that while law-enforcement cooperation is necessary and beneficial, the paper underscores the need
for a comprehensive understanding non-law enforcement-oriented approach to address root causes. The final article "Utilizing Supply Chain Transparency Measures to Combat Trafficking in Persons: A Comparative Analysis of the U.S. and Swedish Systems" by Tara Woods compares anti-trafficking policies in the US and Sweden. The author suggests that the US could learn from Sweden and advocate for increased audits and compliance measures. Her main argument is that if the US were to adopt similar supply chain policies to that of Sweden, the US could strengthen its anti-trafficking efforts.
