Immigration and Trafficking in Persons: “7 Dangerous Links”

Abstract

Human trafficking has undergone successive improvements since it was established. The twenty-first century was marked by the emergence of new crimes or different forms of existing practices. These new practices, by political-criminal decisions, were also criminalised or integrated the assumptions of new forms of exploitation in order to be adapted to the reality that the evolution of time demanded. In this article, I will refer to seven ideas that pervade the crime of human trafficking, which often link it to immigration and can help to understand or demystify prejudices or conceptions with other realities that may be considered dangerous.
