Abstract: Mathematical models are constructed using directed graphs in order to study the human trafficking flow of male customers and victims. The models are constructed so that the flow can be studied over time. We show that the classes in the models interact with each other in a way one would expect. We study the interaction between the two models. We use results from graph theory to determine the classes which are strengthening, weakening, or neutral members of the directed graphs involving the male customers and victims.
