Chapter I
Questions and Answers
Chapter I contains introductory questions and
answers on the salient features of comparative police
system (cps). It is focused on the basic terms and topics
covered on this subject prior to the actual comparison of
police system. Most questions in this chapter begins with
the word what.
1. What is Comparative Police System?

It is the science and art of investigating and
comparing the police system of nations. It covers
the study of police organizations, trainings and
methods of policing of various nations.

2. What is the Comparative Criminal Justice?

It is subfield of the study of Criminal Justice
that compares justice systems worldwide. Such
study can take a descriptive, historical , or political
approach. It studies the similarities and differences
in structure, goals, punishment and emphasis on
rights as well as the history and political stature of
different systems.

3. What are the 3 basic functions of criminal justice
system?

policing
adjudication
corrections

4. What is the International Criminal Justice?

It involves the study and description of one
countrys law, criminal procedure, or justice (Erika
Fairchild). Comparative criminal justice system
attempts to build on the knowledge of criminal
justice in one country by investigating and
evaluating, in terms of another country, culture, or
institution.

5. What is transnational crime?

It is a term that has been used in
comparative and international criminal justice study
in recent years to reflect the complexity and
enormity of global crime issues. It is defined by the
United Nations (UN) offences whose inception,
proportion and/or direct or indirect effects involve
in more than one country. Examples are:

Money laundering
Drug trafficking
Terrorism
Human trafficking
Cyber crimes

6. What is International Crime?

Defined as crimes against the peace and
security of mankind (Adler, Mueller, and Laufer,
1994). The UN has identified the following as
international crimes.

Aggression (by one state against
another)
Treat of aggression
Genocide (destroying a national,
ethnic, racial, or religious group)
Terrorism
Drug trafficking

7. What is meant by model system?

Model system is used to described the
countries being used as topics of discussion. These
countries are chosen not because they are greater
than others but because they are the focus of
comparison being studied.

8. Why compare systems and issues in criminal
justice?

According to Harry Damner there are many
reasons why we need to compare but the basic
reasons are:

To benefit from the experience of
others
To broaden our understanding of
the different cultures and
approaches to problems
To help us deal with the many
transnational crime problems that
plague our world today

9. What are the 4 types of societies?

The following are the four types of societies
in the world that comparativists study:

1. Folk-communal societies are also called
primitive societies.
A folk-communal society has little
codification law, no specification among police,
and a system of punishment that just lets things
go for a while without attention until things
become too much, and then harsh, barbatic
punishment is resorted to. Classic examples
include the early Roman gentles, African and
Middle Eastern tribes, and Puritan settlements
in North America (with the Salem with trials).

2. Urban-commercial societies, which rely on
trade as the essence of their market system.

COMPARATIVE POLICE SYSTEM REVIEWER Philippines Copyright, 2013
Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways; where it is unwilling, it will find a thousand of excuses
- Jpanase Proverb
An urban-commercial society has civil law
(some standards and customs are written
down), specialized police forces (some for
religious offenses, others for enforcing the
Kings Law), and punishment is inconsistent,
sometimes harsh, sometimes lenient. Most of
Continental Europe developed along this path.

3. Urban-industrial societies, which produce which
produce most of the goods and services they
need without government interference.

An urban-industrial society not only has
codified laws (statutes that prohibit) but laws
that prescribes good behavior, police become
specialized in how to handle property crimes,
and the system of punishment is run on market
principles of creating incentives and
disincentives. England and the U.S. followed this
positive legal path.

4. Bureaucratic societies are modern post-
industrial societies where the emphasis is upon
technique or the technologizing of everything,
with the government.

A bureaucratic society has a system of laws
(along with armies of lawyers), police who tend
to keep busy handling political crime and
terrorism, and a system of punishment
characterized by over criminalization and
overcrowding. The U.S. and perhaps only eight
other nations fit the bureaucratic pattern.
Juvenile delinquency is a phenomenon that only
occurs in a bureaucratic society.

10. What are the 10 types of criminal justice law in the
world?

1. Common Law System

These are also known as Anglo-American
justice, and exist in most English-speaking
countries of the world, such as the U.S.,
England, Australia, and New Zealand. They are
distinguished by a strong adversarial system
where lawyers interpret and judges are bound
by precedent. Common law systems are
distinctive in the significance they attach to
precedent (the importance of previously
decided cases). They primarily rely upon oral
systems of previously in which the public trial is
a main focal point.

2. Civil Law System

Also know as Continental justice or
Romano-Germanic justice, and practice
throughout most of the European Union as well
as elsewhere, in places such as Sweden,
Germany, France, and Japan. They are
distinguished by a strong inquisitorial system
where fewer rights are granted to the accused,
and the written law is taken as gospel and
subject to little interpretation. For example, a
French maxim goes like this: If judge knows the
answer, he must not be prohibited from
achieving it by undue attention to regulations of
procedure and evidence. By contrast, the
common law method is for a judge to at least
suspend belief until the sporting event of a trial
is over. Legal scholarship is much more
sophisticated and elitist in civil law systems, as
opposed to the more democratic common law
countries where just about anybody can get
into law school. Romano-Germanic systems are
founded on the basis of natural law, which is a
respect for traditional and custom. The
sovereigns, or leaders, of a civil law system are
considered above the law, as opposed to the
common law notion that nobody is above the
law.

3. Socialist Systems

These are also known as Marxist-Leninist
justice, and exist in many places, such as Africa
and Asia, where there has been a Communist
revolution or the remnants of one. They are
distinguished by procedures designed to
rehabilitate or retrain people into fulfilling their
responsibilities to the state. It is the ultimate
expression of positive law, designed to move
the state forward toward the perfectibility of
state and mankind. It is also primarily
characterized by administrative law, where non-
legal officials make most of the decisions. For
example, in a socialist state, neither judges nor
lawyers are allowed to make law. Law is the
same as policy, and an orthodox Marxist view is
that eventually, the law will not be necessary.

4. Islamic System

Are also known as Muslim or Arabic justice,
and derive all their procedures and practices
from interpretation of the Koran. These are
exceptions, however. Various tribes (such as the
Siwa in the desert of North Africa) are
descendents of the ancient than the harsher
Shariah punishments. Islamic systems in general
are characterized by the absence of positive law
(the use of law to move societies forward
toward some progressive future) and are based
more on the concept of natural justice (crimes
are considered acts of injustice that conflict
with tradition). Religion plays an important role
that Islamic systems, so much a role that most
nations of this type are theocracies, where legal
rule and religious rule go together.

11. What are the Comparative Research Methods?

Comparative research is usually carried out
by the following:

A. Safari method (a researcher visits another
country) or collaborative method (the
researcher communicates with a foreign
researcher).
B. Published works tend to fall into three
categories:
Single culture studies (the crime
problem of a single foreign country is
discussed)
Two-culture studies (the most common
type) Comprehensive textbooks (it
covers three or more countries). The
examination of crime and its control in
the comparative context often requires
an historical perspective since the
phenomena under study are seen as
having developed under unique social,
economic, and political structures.

C. Historical-comprehensive method the most
often employed by researchers. It is basically an
alternative to both quantitative and qualitative
research methods that is sometimes called
historiography or holism.

12. What are the Countries with lesser or no crime?

a. Switzerland
For many years used to have travel
brochures saying there is no crime in
Switzerland, and criminologist were stumped
on why this was so, whether because of the
high rate of firearm ownership or the extensive
welfare system. It turned out that the Swiss
(along with some other welfare nations, like
Sweden) were not reporting all their crime rate.
However, it was true that their crime rate was
fairly low.

Reasons of having low crime rates
They did not remarkable job
managing their underclass
population, the poor people who
lived the ghettos and slums.
Swiss crime control is highly
effective in using an iron fist,
velvet glove approach toward
those who commit crime and come
from the bottom echelons of Swiss
society. For example, when a poor
person commits a crime, the
government goes to work analyzing
the family, educational, and
employment needs of everyone in
that poor persons family. Then,
after some punishment (which the
offender frequently agrees with as
deserved, a long term treatment
plan is put into effect to raise that
family out of poverty.

b. Japan
Another country with an interestingly low
crime rate is Japan where the crime rates are
not necessarily that low, but stable and
resistant to fluctuating spikes.
Some reasons of having low crime rates are
the characteristics of this country which
include:
community policing
a patriarchal family system
the importance of higher education,
and the way businesses serve as
surrogate families.

Asian societies are also shame-based rather than
guilt-based as Western societies are. For example,
it is unthinkable to commit a crime in such places
because of shame it would bring upon ones family
and the business or corporation with which that
family is associated with.

c. Ireland
Ireland is another place with a unexpectedly
low crime rate. Despite a serious
unemployment, the presence of large urban
ghettos, and a crisis with religious terrorism, the
Irish pattern of urban crime is no higher than its
pattern or rural crime.

The key reason of having low crime rate is
the factor that appears to be:
a. A sense of hope and confidence among
the people Legitimate surveys, for
example, show that 86% of more of the
population believe that the local
authorities are well-skilled and doing
everything they can.
b. People felt like they had a high degree
of population participation in crime
control.

d. Egypt
The Siwa Oasis in Egypt is another place
with little or no crime. The population of 23,000
consists of 11 tribes who are the descendants of
ancient Greeks, and it is said that Plato himself
fashioned his model or perfect government in
the Republic there. The inhabitants practice a
moderate form of Islamic justice, rejecting
Shariah punishment and embracing Urrf law
(the law of tradition). Conflicts are resolved by a
tribal council, and there are no jails or prisons.
The last known crime occurred around 1950,
COMPARATIVE POLICE SYSTEM REVIEWER Philippines Copyright, 2013
Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways; where it is unwilling, it will find a thousand of excuses
- Jpanase Proverb
and was an act of involuntary manslaughter.
The typical punishment of wrong doing is social
ostracization (shunning). This type of society is
an excellent example of the folk-communal, or
informal justice system.

13. What are the 7 Theories of Comparative
Criminology?

According to Scheider (2001), the various
theories that exist with empirical support are the
following theories of comparative Criminology:

1. Alertness to crime theory is that as a nation
develops, peoples alertness to crime is
heightened, so they report more crime to police
and also demand the police become more
effective at solving crime problems.
2. Economic or migration theory is that crime
everywhere is the result of unrestrained
migration and over population in urban areas
such as ghettos and slums.
3. Opportunity theory is that along with higher
standards of living, victims become more
careless of their belongings, and opportunities
for committing crime multiply.
4. Demographic theory is based on the event of
when a greater number of children are being
born, because as these baby booms grow up,
delinquent subcultures develop out of the
adolescent identity crisis. Deprivation theory
holds that progress comes along with rising
expectations, and people at the bottom develop
unrealistic expectations while people at the top
dont see themselves rising fast enough.
5. Modernization theory sees the problem as
society becoming too complex.
6. Theory of anomie and synomie (the latter being
a term referring to social cohesion on values),
suggests that progressive lifestyle and norms
result in the disintegration of older norms that
once held people together (anomie).

14. What are the types of police in the world?

The following are some of the types of
police
1. Uniformed police
2. Detectives
3. Auxiliary
4. Special police
5. Military police
6. Religious police
7. Border police
8. Transport police

15. Differentiate centralized from decentralized system
of law enforcement?

Decentralized Law Enforcement
Decentralized police refers to a system where
police administrations and operations are independent
from one state to another. It is more applicable to
countries with federal government.

In many countries, particularly those with a federal
system of government, there may be several police or
police-like organizations, each serving different levels of
government and enforcing different subsets of the
applicable law. The United States has a highly
decentralized and fragmented system of law
enforcement, with over 17,000 state and local law
enforcement agencies. Germany and UK have also
decentralized law enforcement agencies.

Countries with Centralized policing system
Simply means on police force operating in a
country.
Some countries, such as Chile, Israel, Philippines,
France, Austria, use a centralized system of policing. A
country with only one recognized police force which
operates entire that country is called is called
centralized police. Thus, Philippines is an example of
centralized police because the Philippine National Police
has one central office with many regional, provincial
and local branches throughout the country.
16. What can the Philippines National Police Adopt?

As to organization, decentralization of
regional or city police office that can be financially
support its operation. This is to do away with the
scenario that the fault of Manila is the fault of the
entire officers of the PNP.

As the responsibilities, the specific functions
of officers assigned in the Koban and Chuzaizho can
be applied hence, the new PNP officers can be
assigned to

A. Gather data related to his jurisdiction (for city police
officer) like list of people who are
- working late at night who might be of help as
witnesses to crime
- not engage in formal employment (stand by)
- owns gun or swords
- with mental illness
- old living in the area alone who should be
visited periodically
- leaders of legitimate organizations
- leaders of illegitimate organization
- total population
- list of households, rented homes and
apartments

B. Conduct the following (for provincial or municipal
police officer) like
Visit each house twice a year to be
acquainted and to determine their needs
related to law enforcement

Seminars among barangay leaders related
to peace and order

As to the general entry qualification, height must
not be a requirement (from UK Law Enforcement) when
the applicant has an above average intelligent quotient.
As to participation of civilian, accreditation of
individuals who are not members of the PNP but with
specialization in the fields related to law enforcement is
encourage.
For example, priest, pastors and ministries may be
involved in values trainings of the PNP. Biologist,
Ballisticians and other related profession may be
accredited to help in law enforcement exercises.
Another on organization and supervision, the PNP
may be separated and be fully controlled and
supervised by the National Police Commission without
interference of local executives.
For example, a City Chief of Police could have same
position as a City Mayor. The former is in charge with
peace and order and law enforcement concerns while
the last later is more an administration of the citys
concern not covering the concern of the chief of police.
Coordination and cooperation are imperative in this
recommendation. This idea will empower the PNP to
initiate a more constructive and practical ways to
improve peace and order. This recommendation may
also reduce the incidence of taking orders from the
whims and caprices of corrupt politicians, examples is
the Maguindanao Massacre.

17. What are the 2 Types of Court Systems of the
World?

1. Adversarial System
In adversarial the accused is innocent until
proven guilty, and inquisitorial, where the
accused is guilty until proven innocent or
mitigated. The U.S. adversarial system is unique
in the world. No other nation, not even the U.K.
places as much emphasis upon determination
of factual guilt in the courtroom as the U.S.
does. Outside the U.S. most trials are concerned
with legal guilt where everyone knows the
offender did it, and the purpose is to get the
offender to apologize, own up to their
responsibility, argue for mercy, or suggest an
appropriate sentence for themselves.
2. Inquisitorial Systems
Where lesser rights are granted to the
accused, and the written law is taken as gospel
and subject to little interpretation.

18. What is Globalization?

Globalization is a process of interaction and
integration among the people, companies, and
government of different nations, as process driven
by international trade and investment and aided by
information technology. This process has effects on
the environment, on culture, on political systems,
on economic development and prosperity, and on
human physical well-being in societies around the
world.

In economic context, it refers to the
reduction and removal of barriers between national
borders in order to facilitate to flow of goods,
capital, services and labor..although considerable
barriers remain to the flow of labor.

19. What are Effects of Globalization to La w
Enforcement in the Philippines? (V. Delos Santos)
The facilitation of transnational crimes and
criminals can be easily achieved.
There is a need for transnational policing.
The cooperation among police organization
in the world is vital.
Training instructional for incoming law
enforcement officers must include advance
computer to prepare them as cyber cops so
they can be better prepared to deal with
cyber crimes.
Development of new strategies to deal with
international organized crimes is a must.
Provisions of law enforcement with
updated legislations related to
modernization theory of crime.

20. What are the Threats to Law Enforcement Brought
by Globalization

International criminal networks have been
quick to take advantage of the opportunities
resulting from the revolutionary changes in world
politics, technology, and communication that have
strengthened democracy and free markets, brought
the worlds nations closer together, and given the
some countries unprecedented security and
prosperity.

Globalization allowed international
criminals to expand their networks and increase
their cooperation in illicit activities and financial
transactions.

Criminals have taken advantage of
transitioning and more open economies to establish
front companies and quasi-legitimate businesses
that facilitates smuggling, money laundering,
financial frauds, intellectual property piracy, and
other illicit ventures.

Criminal groups have taken advantage of
the high volume of legitimate trade to smuggle
drugs, arms, and other contraband across national
boundaries.

Criminals are able to exploit the complexity
of the international system to hide drugs or other
COMPARATIVE POLICE SYSTEM REVIEWER Philippines Copyright, 2013
Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways; where it is unwilling, it will find a thousand of excuses
- Jpanase Proverb
contraband or to conceal the true origin and
ownership of cargo within contraband is hidden.

Through the use of computers,
international criminals have an unprecedented
capability to obtain, process, and protect
information and sidestep law enforcement
investigations. They can use the interactive
capabilities of advanced computer and
telecommunications systems to plot marketing
strategies for drugs and other illicit commodities,
to find the most efficient routes and methods for
smuggling and moving money or banking security.
International criminals also take advantage of the
speed and magnitude of financial transactions and
the fact that there are few safeguards to prevent
abuse of the system to move large amounts of
money without scrutiny. More threateningly, some
criminals organizations appear to be adept at using
technology for counter intelligence purpose and for
tracking law enforcement activities.

21. What are the Different Police Global Organizations?

The different police international
associations in the world are
ASEAN Chiefs of Police
Europol
IACP
Interpol
UN policing

22. When was ASEAN Chiefs of Police Establish?

25. What is EUROPOL?

It means European Police Office or Europol
Europal is the European Unions criminal
intelligence agency. It became fully operational on 1
July 1999.

26. What is the aim of Europol?

Europols aim to improve the effectiveness
and co-operation between the competent
authorities of the member states primarily by
sharing and pooling intelligence to prevent and
combat serious international organized crime. Its
mission is to make a significant contribution to the
European Unions law enforcement efforts targeting
organized crime.

27. What is the mission of Europol?

The mission of Europol is to make a
significant contribution to the European Unions law
enforcement action against organized crime and
terrorism with an emphasis on targeting criminal
organizations.

28. How does Europol Assist Member States
Investigations?

Europol supports the law enforcement
activities of the member states by:
Facilitating the exchange of information
between Europol and Europol Liaison Officers
(ELOs) are seconded the Europol by the Members
States as representatives of their national law
enforcement agencies, thus they are not under the
command of Europol and its Director as such.
Furthermore, they act in accordance with their
national law.

Providing operational analysis and support
to Member States operations;

Providing expertise and technical support
for investigations and operations carried out within
the EU, under the supervision and the legal
responsibility of the Member States;

Generating strategic reports (e.g. threat
assessment) and crime analysis on the basis of
information and intelligence supplied by Member
States or gathered from other sources.

29. What is Europolss mandate?

Europols supports the law enforcement
activities of the member states mainly
against:

Illicit drug trafficking
Illicit immigration networks;
COMPARATIVE POLICE SYSTEM REVIEWER Philippines Copyright, 2013
Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways; where it is unwilling, it will find a thousand of excuses
- Jpanase Proverb
Terrorism; Forgery of money
(counterfeiting of the euro) and
other means of payment;
Trafficking in human beings
(including child pornography);
Illicit vehicle trafficking;
Money laundering.

30. Does Europol only act on request?

Yes, Europol only acts on request at
present. However, the Protocol of the 28 November
2002 amending the Europol convention, allows
Europol to request the competent authorities of the
Member States to investigate. Article 3 b) of the
Protocol states that Member States should be deal
with any request from Europol to initiate, conduct
or co-ordinate investigations in specific cases and
should give such requests due consideration.
Europol should be informed whether the requested
investigation will be initiated.

31. What is the added value of having Europol as a
European law enforcement agency?

There are numerous advantages for the
European law enforcement community. Europol is
unique in this field as it is multi-disciplinary agency,
comprising not only regular price officers but staff
members from the various law enforcement
agencies of the Member States and covering
specialized areas such as customs, immigration
services, intelligence services, border and financial
police.

32. What is IACP?

It stands for International Association of
Chiefs of Police. The International Association of
Chiefs of Police is the worlds oldest and largest
nonprofit membership organization of police
executives, with over 20,000 members in over 80
different countries. IACPs leadership consists of the
operating chief executes of international, federal,
state and local agencies of all sizes.

33. What are the Missions of IACP?

The IACP shall
1. Advance professional police services;
2. Promote enhanced administrative,
technical, and operational police
practices, foster cooperation and the
exchange of information and
experience among police leaders and
police organizations of recognized
professional and technical standing
throughout the world.

34. What is Interpol?

Interpol is the short form of International
Criminal Police Organization. It began in 1923, and
at the same time its name was International
Criminal Police Commission. In 1956, its name
became International Criminal Police Organization.
The word Interpol was a short of International
Criminal Police Organization. This short form served
as the address to receive telegrams. Slowly, the
name of this international organization became
famous as Interpol. Now, Interpol is the second
biggest international organization; the United
Nations is the first. Some important information
about Interpol:

Interpol is crime fighting organization, just
like your local police department. Instead, they help
other member countries that need to co-operate by
connecting all members of Interpol by a network of
files of criminals and cases if any of Interpols 182
nations need them.


35. What does Interpol do?

Interpol records any information about
something that was in a criminal case, ex:
information on criminals, type of crime, vehicles,
anything to help any police officer with information
about a certain crime.

36. Why was Interpol created?

The countries in Europe needed a co-
operation between countries. This was needed
because criminals would commit crimes in one
country in Europe and then skip to another
country to avoid prosecution. Since Europe is a
tightly packed continent, police didnt have enough
time to catch criminals, and the idea was created.

37. What UN Police Do?

One of the objectives of the Philippine
National Police Officers being deployed in the UN
mission is for mentoring other law enforcement of
foreign countries like East Timor and Kosovo.
Assistance to host-state police and other
law enforcement agencies. United Nations Police
Officers support the reform, restructuring and
rebuilding of domestic police and other law
enforcement agencies through training and
advising. Direct assistance is also provided, often
through trust funds, for the refurbishment of
facilities and the procurement of vehicles,
communication equipment and other law
enforcement material. Such assistance has been
provided in the past, for example, by the police
components of peace operations in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Burundi, Cote dlvoire, Democratic
COMPARATIVE POLICE SYSTEM REVIEWER Philippines Copyright, 2013

- Jpanase Proverb
Republic of Congo, Haiti, Kosovo, Liberia and Sierre
Leone.

38. What is Transnational Organized Crime?

Transnational organized crime involves the
planning and execution of illicit business ventures
by groups or networks of individuals working in
more than one country. These criminal groups use
systematic violence and corruption to achieve their
goal. Crimes commonly include money laundering;
human smuggling; cybercrime; and trafficking of
humans, drugs, weapons, endangered species, body
parts, or nuclear material.
Transnational crime ring activities weaken
economies and financial systems and undermine
democracy. These networks often prey on
governments that are not powerful enough to
oppose them, prospering on illegal activities, such
as drug trafficking that bring them immense profits.
In carrying out illegal activities, they upset the
peace and stability of nations worldwide, often
using bribery, violence, or terror to achieve their
goals.

39. What the Major Transnational Organized Crime
Groups?

Transnational crime often operate in well-
organized groups, intentionally united to carry out
illegal actions. Groups typically involve certain
hierarchies and are headed by a powerful leader.
These transnational organized crime groups work to
make a profit through illegal activities. Because
groups operate internationally, their activity is a
threat to global security, often weakening
governmental institutions or destroying legitimate
business endeavors.

Well-known organized crime groups
include:
Russian Mafia.
Around 200 Russian groups that
operate in nearly 60 countries
worldwide. They have been
involved in racketeering, fraud, tax
evasion, gambling, drug trafficking,
ransom, robbery and murder.
La Cosa Nostra.
Known as the Italian or Italian-
American mafia. The most
prominent organized crime group in
the world from the 1920s to the
1990s. They have been involved in
violence, arson, bombings, torture,
sharking, gambling, drug trafficking,
health insurance fraud, and political
and judicial corruption.
Yakuza
Japanese criminal group. Often
involved in multinational criminals
activities, including human
trafficking, gambling, prostitution,
and undermining licit businesses.
FukChing.
Chinese organized group in the
United States. They have been
involved in smuggling, street
violence, and human trafficking.
Triads.
Underground criminal societies
based in Hong Kong. They control
secret markets and bus routes and
are often involved in money
laundering and drug trafficking.
Heijin
Taiwanese gangsters who are often
executives in large corporations.
They are often involved in white
collar crimes, such as illegal stock
trading and bribery, and sometimes
run for public office.
Jao Pho.
Organized crime group in Thailand.
They are often involved in illegal
political and business activity.
Red Wa.
Gangsters from Thailand. They are
involved in manufacturing and
trafficking methamphetamine.

40. What is Human Trafficking?

Human Trafficking is the illegal in human
beings for the purposes of commercial sexual
exploitation or forced labor: a modern-day form of
slavery. It is the fastest growing criminal industry in
the world, and tied with the illegal arms industry as
the second largest, after the drug, trade.
Human Trafficking is a crime against
humanity. It further defined as an act of recruiting,
transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a
person through a use of force, coercion or other
means, for the purpose of exploiting them. Every
year, thousands of men, women and children fall
into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries
and abroad. Every country in the world is affected
by trafficking, whether as a country of origin, tansit
or destination for victims. UNODC, as guardian of
the United Nations Convention against
Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and the
Protocols thereto, assists States in their efforts to
implement the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and
Punish Trafficking in Person (Trafficking in Persons
Protocol).

41. What are the Elements of Human Trafficking?
On the basis of the definition given in the
