Barry Krisberg, a criminal justice expert at UC Berkeley’s law school, said the increased penalties for traffickers could drive the problem further underground, when what is needed is more aid for victims. “This just escalates penalties,” he said. “We’ve tried that for years, and it doesn’t do any good.” Still, he said, “It may well pass because it sounds good. Everybody’s against sex trafficking.”
