Human Trafficking as a Wicked Problem: An Analysis of Five Indian NGO Leaders Combating Traffickers

Jernigan, Sarah M

Abstract Details

2016, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Communication.
This thesis explores the ways in which leadership is affecting five Indian non-profit efforts to combat human trafficking, identified here as a wicked problem. Using an iterative, grounded theory approach, data was analyzed from five non-profit presentations and generated the following four themes: vision and mission statements, cross-sector partnerships, language and definition issues, and intervention practices, all of which influence the combative efforts of organizations fighting traffickers. This study adds to our understanding of how non-profits are making a difference when combating human trafficking.
