Profits

 

There are very considerable profits to be made from trafficking and in common with other forms of the sex industry this makes it highly attractive to organised crime groups. The main profits to be made are where there is considerable demand, and willingness to pay, for sexual services.

‘In terms of the UK, in off-street flat prostitution the usual arrangement is that the woman splits her earnings 50:50 with the owner/organiser. With trafficked women the owner/exploiter not only gets to keep close to 100% of the takings, but also to increase takings since trafficked women can be required to take more customers, and engage in sexual acts that customers pay more for ‘.

‘ Kelly & Regan, 2000a p.26
