Abstract

Trafficking in persons is considered an illegal activity associated with transnational organised crimes. Interestingly, trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime is increasing quickly. This could be illustrated by the growing involvement of criminal organisations in trafficking in persons. Therefore, it is important to address this crime. This is important because trafficking in persons is a large-scale problem linked with international organised crimes. However, such addressing requires identifying a number of issues regarding trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime. These issues are the following: The first issue is clarifying the meaning of trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime. The second issue is analysing the transnational nature of the crime of trafficking in persons. The third issue is the criminal jurisdiction over trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime. The fourth issue is addressing trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime. The fifth issue is highlighting the international, regional, and national responses to trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime.Notably, addressing trafficking in persons as a transnational organised crime requires a holistic approach. This approach should include international, regional and national responses as well as states? cooperation and cooperation among international organisations. Such a holistic approach is significant because trafficking in persons is not limited to one country. Consequently, tackling trafficking in persons requires countries to unify their efforts and to make serious attempts in the fight against this crime. In this regard, it is to be noted that Jordan has made significant efforts of attempts to address the crime of trafficking in persons. Accordingly, the Jordanian example could be analysed and studied to determine what Jordan has done, how Jordan has done that and would that be done better in the future.
