human trafficking legislation

For this assignment, please visit APUS Libguides.(https://apus.libguides.com/pubadmin/humantrafficking) Our librarian, Beth Cook, has compiled an excellent list of sources for human trafficking legislation and reporting. Please draft a literature review using any 8 of the sources provided. Obviously most of these sources are primary document or government reports but just treat those as a source. Basically, a literature review explains the current state of literature, or in this case law and legislation, in the field. Note the term current! If there is a source here that helps explain the historical context but is dated, please search the library for more current sources. There has been a lot done in the last 5 years! You will find a matrix attached that will help you organize your thoughts. The idea is to give an intro then leads the reader through the sources in a logical manner. You should not stack sources, by addressing one in one paragraph, and the next in the next paragraph but weave them together as in the example in the matrix. You should be looking at approximately six pages double-spaced with APA or Bluebook citation. You can access the rubric by selecting on the blue and white square rubric associated with the assignment.

This table lists criteria and criteria group name in the first column. The first row lists level names and includes scores if the rubric uses a numeric scoring method.
