  • “Addressing Human Trafficking: Interventions and Implications for Social Work Practice” “Utilizing Professional Expertise in the Fight Against Human Trafficking: A Multi-Level Approach”

    Social Work 5005
    Interventions Paper Assignment
    Directions
    For this assignment, each student will write a paper on a particular aspect of human trafficking. You may
    choose to use the same topic as used in your media presentation or chose a new human trafficking topic.
    The paper must include the following:
    1) An introduction to the topic
    2) A review of the literature
    3) At least 1 micro, mezzo, and/or macro intervention
    4) Identification and application of a Human Rights article
    5) Implications for the social work profession
    6) Conclusion
    All of this must be done from a social justice lens.
    Required Headings
    Please include the required headings below:
    1. Literature Review
    2. Interventions
    3. Human Rights
    4. Implications for Social Work
    5. Conclusion.
    The first paragraph(s) before the literature review is to serve as the introduction to the paper. The actual
    word, Introduction, should not be used.
    Content Requirement
    All papers must be substantive-meaning the writer must demonstrate an in-depth understanding and
    analysis of the topic that is grounded in the academic literature (the bulk of the paper) and a little bit of
    common sense. Although government/well-recognized web-based sources can be used in the paper, they
    cannot comprise the main references for the paper. They should be used sparingly. You must use at least
    10 journal articles in this paper and cite them in the Reference section of the paper.
    Sources used must be fused throughout the paper and not presented one at a time in summary form as in
    the case of an annotated bibliography. You should also refrain from using direct quotes in the paper.
    Paraphrased work is the expected style of writing in this course.Format and Length Requirement
    Students will be expected to follow appropriate APA referencing and in-text citations. The length of the
    paper for graduate students will be 8-10 pages. Undergraduate students will be expected to write 5-7
    pages. This page length includes the title page and references.
    Rubric (86 points)
    Points Required Headings Description
    5 Introduction A good introduction clearly sets the stage for the paper.
    It must include 1) a purpose statement [what you will be
    discussing], and 2) a pending discussion statement [the
    components that will be in the paper]. This section
    should be fully developed in a paragraph or two. The
    actual word “introduction” is not typed. The first
    paragraph(s) before the Literature Review is to serve
    as the introduction to the overall paper.
    30 Literature Review Present a review of the literature that describes your
    selected area of human trafficking. In this section, you must
    describe your area of human trafficking, how the trafficking
    works, who is most likely to be a victim and/or culprit, where
    it takes place, social justice issues, and any additional
    information that explains human trafficking. (This should be
    the longest section of the paper. It is worth 30 points by
    itself.)
    15 Intervention(s) Describe at least one micro, mezzo, and/or macro level
    intervention that is used to address your area of human
    trafficking (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, policy or law,
    raids or busts as rescue attempts, mentoring programs, drug
    treatment programs, educational campaigns, etc.). The
    intervention must be supported by at least one citation. This
    section is worth 15 points and should be thoroughly
    developed.
    9 Human Rights This paper clearly indicates how human trafficking is a
    problem worthy of addressing as a human rights issue. At
    least one Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article out
    of the 30 must be 1) identified in its entirety, and 2) then
    applied to your chosen form of human trafficking discussed
    in the paper. Article 4 which reads that –“No one shall be
    held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall
    be prohibited in all their forms” cannot be used because it is
    a given. Choose any of the other 29 articles.
    10 Implications for
    Social Work
    Based on the preceding Literature Review, Interventions,
    and Human Rights contents presented, please discuss how
    a particular profession or professional could be helpful in the
    fight against human trafficking at the individual, family,
    group, neighborhood, community, national, or international
    levels.
    3 Conclusion Unlike the introduction, this section of the paper contains a
    precise and comprehensive summary of the main points of
    the paper. It exceeds a mere perfunctory wrap-up and it
    avoids rhetoric. It also avoids asking the reader questions.
    This should be at least one complete paragraph and fully
    developed.OTHER AREAS TO
    ADDRESS
    5 Grammar Good use of the English language and an effective means of
    writing are expected along with a synthesis of the
    information (the use of smooth transitions between
    sentences and paragraphs).
    4 APA Style You must adhere to APA (7th ed) for your citations,
    references, numbers, margins, spacing, title page, etc.
    5 Social Justice The degree in which the project addresses oppression,
    marginalization, interpersonal violence, racism, sexism,
    classism, or any other form of harm. This should be
    integrated into your literature review, at minimum.
    Deductions Missing required (n=5) headings; additional headings are
    optional.
    Deductions Paper length requirements include the title page and
    References. Undergraduates must write 5-7 page
    papers while graduate students must write 8-10 page
    papers.
    Deductions Insufficient Number/Type of sources–you must use at
    least 10 journal articles in this paper. Additional sources
    are also permissible and highly recommended.

    Papershould explain the dominant cultural ideas about sexuality and how those ideas relate actual research on people’s sexual practices.  Put another way, we all live in the shadow of our culture’s ideas about sexuality, but research shows that our sexual practices are far more complex than our culture’s ideas would predict.  This means that people strategically negotiate cultural meanings and strive to create pleasurable sexual lives.  In your paper, you should detail both the dominant ideas and some of the ways that significant sexual strategies that sex researchers have identified in terms of people’s actual sexual practices.
