A.Praveen Prakash, M.P.Kannan, J.Esther Jerlin . A Study on the Causes for Child Trafficking using Indeterministic Triangular Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. International Journal of Computer Applications. 103, 11 ( October 2014), 34-38. DOI=10.5120/18120-9431
“Dad who sold three babies caught during fourth deal is the headline of the news in Indian Express dated 31.05.2014. The culprit named Praveen (37) confessed to the crime and is in police custody. His wife Manju was already rescued and admitted to a Home. News of this kind have become a regular feature. Child trafficking takes place all over the world, and is indeed prevalent in India. There have been reports from many areas about the increase of trafficking taking place in India. This paper analyses the causes of Child Trafficking and ranking the causes using the newly proposed Indeterministic Triangular Fuzzy Cognitive Model . This model has an advantage of ranking the causes by the calculated membership value also showing indeterminacy relation between the nodes obtained from the experts. This paper has four sections. Section one deals with the overall existing problem of child trafficking. Section two deals with the description of the model. Section three gives the study and analysis of the problem using the prescribed model. Section four gives the conclusion and suggestions based on the study.
