34 U.S.C. § 41309 — Reporting on human trafficking
submitted 18 years ago by Pub. L. 110-457 to r/title-34-CRIME-CONTROL-AND-LAW-ENFORCEMENT · 276 words · no verdicts yet
The FBI must classify human trafficking as a serious crime in national crime reports, with subcategories for state sex crimes involving minors or force. The FBI must also update its reporting systems to separate different prostitution-related crimes — like promoting, purchasing, and providing commercial sex. Separate categories apply when someone under 18 is involved.
The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall—
classify the offense of human trafficking as a Part I crime in the Uniform Crime Reports;
to the extent feasible, establish subcategories for State sex crimes that involve—
a person who is younger than 18 years of age;
the use of force, fraud or coercion; or
neither of the elements described in subparagraphs (A) and (B); and
classify the offense of human trafficking as a Group A offense for purpose of the National Incident-Based Reporting System.
The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall revise the Uniform Crime Reporting System 1 and the National Incident-Based Reporting System to distinguish between reports of—
incidents of assisting or promoting prostitution, which shall include crimes committed by persons who—
do not directly engage in commercial sex acts; and
direct, manage, or profit from such acts, such as State pimping and pandering crimes;
incidents of purchasing prostitution, which shall include crimes committed by persons who purchase or attempt to purchase or trade anything of value for commercial sex acts;
incidents of prostitution, which shall include crimes committed by persons providing or attempting to provide commercial sex acts;
incidents of assisting or promoting prostitution, child labor that is a violation of law, or forced labor of an individual under the age of 18 as described in paragraph (1); and
incidents of purchasing or soliciting commercial sex acts, child labor that is a violation of law, or forced labor with an individual under the age of 18 as described in paragraph (2).
