Profiles of Human Trafficking Violence in Regions of Ecuador

Abstract

People are often vulnerable to become victims of violence, including human trafficking. In Ecuador, considerable crimes of this nature are reported each year. Knowing and generating protection mechanisms against this type of crime constitutes a vitally important task to preserve the integrity of people. This research proposes a solution to the problem described from the development of a method to determine profiles of violence in people from regions of Ecuador. The proposed method bases its operation on the set of neutrosophic numbers to represent the uncertainty.
