Dark Traffic is the book that ushers the public into the next phase of anti-trafficking efforts to stop what has
evolved into a $150 billion industry involving a complex network of organized crime trafficking sex, labor,
and human organs. As co-founder and CEO of Dark Watch, author Noel Thomas has led United States law
enforcement and the judicial system into the new battleground, where high-tech data analysis is changing how
criminals are caught and prosecuted. Dark Traffic arrives on a new wave of media attention and actions at the
federal, state, and local government levels, and informs readers how they can play a role in identifying and
helping stop trafficking that occurs in their own neighborhood. Noel’s story of how he became aware of the
issue is proof. The trafficking game has changed drastically, and Dark Traffic will change all our perceptions of
trafficking.
“Dark Traffic was written first, to provide information. The public desperately needs to have a clear and accurate
understanding of the problem we’re facing, since it threatens people, we love. Second, Noel hopes this book
makes people angry, because anger focused in the right direction is a powerful tool for change(?). We ought
to be angry when young people are being destroyed. And third, he wants to dispel the myth that one person
can’t do very much. Mass movements are made up of lots of “one persons” who come together to become one
massive force for good.”
