Specifics of Human Trafficking Crime Investigation

Trafficking in human beings can be considered a multidimensional crime and an illegal business, which can undermine the rule of law and create instability. As a global phenomenon, it is considered a modern or contemporary form of slavery, which has profound social and economic implications, affecting on the one hand, the security of the state, and on the other, fundamental human rights and the dignity of the victim. For this reason it is called a form of inhumane trade, which in turn can be present in any country. Trafficking in human beings is a crime that destroys lives, violates the dignity, freedom and fundamental rights of the victims. It is often a violent crime committed by organised criminal networks, which should not exist in today's society. However, human trafficking is a global phenomenon. It exists in every country, in every region and it still exists in the EU.
