Summary/Abstract: Human trafficking not only remains a recurring problem in society, but is also gradually increasing due to technological advances and, last but not least, the continued impoverishment of part of the population in various countries (particularly those that are less economically stable or less developed). Because the social values affected by this serious form of crime are important (often, the victims of human trafficking are children, young people, and women who are often subjected to coercion), a robust response from society is needed to combat trafficking. It is also worth considering that these crimes involve others, such as drug trafficking, slavery, pimping, money laundering, violent crimes, and corruption. Criminological considerations will be presented sequentially, from the perspective of the legal rationale for adopting a new European legislative act that aims to regulate this type of crime (and related crimes) in a uniform manner. The theme of the study is the new features of the directive and how to respond to the phenomenon of the globalization of crime.
