EXAMPLE = In 2015, a report published by CNS News indicated that as gun ownership increases gun violence decreases (Perry, 2015). The media and other politicians would have the America people believe otherwise, but the data from the “Centers for Disease Control” (Perry, 2015, para. 2), indicates that when more people own guns homicide rates decline quite significantly (Perry, 2015). From 1994 to 2014 homicide rates decreased from 7.0 per 100K population to 3.6 per 100K population (Perry, 2015). In contrast gun ownership per 100k population was at 0.94 in 1994 and in 2014 it increased to 1.45 (Perry, 2015).

Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry – essentially a victim of human trafficking has lost their freedom (Polaris, n.d.). When reviewing the statistics for the United States it appears that both the east and west coast have the highest rate of human trafficking (Polaris, n.d.). Over half of the victims of human trafficking are women and girls(Polaris, n.d.). The majority of individual victims are trapped into forced labor(Polaris, n.d.).
