Some Criminogenic Factors of Trafficking in Human Beings; Cases of Judicial Practice in Albania

Abstract

This research has been conducted to examine the criminal etiology which is focused in studying and analyzing the risk factors that are highly associated with the criminal conduct. These factors are related to the knowing of the resources and defining the circumstances of criminality such as human being’s trafficking. Thus, criminal etiology has been considered until lately as the main part of the science of criminology. It is also considered as an important section of studies and researches onto human’s trafficking criminality. This research scope is to show the causes and the circumstances that are being considered of all criminal behaviors and other sociological factors (objective and subjective factors which are involved in recognizing, defining and analyzing the criminality’s factors, causes and resources within a country, which in our case it is Albania). Along with trafficking for recruiting persons in a criminal network, for illicit organ transplant, or even for different exploitations, trafficking for sexual exploitation remains the widest category that compounds this crime. The simplest reason is that this kind of “service” will always generate the biggest incomes for the traffic dealers. This research has put into evidence the major factors which contribute to the trafficking of human beings mainly in Albania during the period from 2001 to 2005.
