Background and Objective: The traditional form of human trafficking is slavery, which has been prevalent since ancient times. Human trafficking has been considered the third most profitable criminal activity in the world. This crime is committed for the purposes of sexual prostitution, slavery, organ harvesting, and marriage. Currently, most countries in the world are facing this phenomenon and it is one of the crimes that grossly violate human rights and human dignity. Human trafficking is an organized crime that threatens national security, and its social, political, and security consequences affect individuals and society. Therefore, identifying ways to criminalize human trafficking as an organized and transnational crime is a topic that is addressed in this article.
Methodology: The present study is applied in terms of type and purpose, and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature. The necessary data was collected in a documentary and qualitative manner, using a purposeful sampling method and through semi-structured in-depth interviews with experts and those involved in the fight against human trafficking until theoretical saturation was reached.
Results and Findings: The results of the study show that the methods of criminalizing human trafficking include: intelligence gathering, law enforcement, crime scene management, national, regional, and international interaction and cooperation, and facilitating the extradition of criminals, training citizens and crime-fighting forces, including police officers and judicial authorities, controlling and strengthening borders, and the participation of crime whistleblowers, such as victims, witnesses, and informants.
