Perceived Involvement of “Organised Crime” in Human Trafficking and Smuggling

To spark debate at the 12th Annual UN Crime Congress, held in Brazil in April 2010, UNODC tasked the Institute for International Research on Criminal Policy (IRCP)  to analyse the links between transnational organised crime and trafficking and smuggling. Because developing appropriate criminal justice responses to combat trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants as forms of organised crime requires a knowledge-based response, the main objective of this exercise was to provide insight and up-to-date information on what is known on the involvement of organised crime in trafficking and smuggling today.
