Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This discourse provides an overview of human trafficking in Japan and illustrates how digital technologies have transformed the practice worldwide. Due to Japan's enormous entertainment industry, unique relationship with the yakuza, and heavily un-surveilled migration work programs, the country's human trafficking problem is growing. At the same time, digital technologies continue to reshape the way in which the practice is conducted. This analysis assesses the presence of human trafficking in Japan and describes how the country's legal framework inadequately addresses the issue. It also recommends ways the Japanese government can improve its efforts at combating the practice.
