Aspectos sócio-jurídicos do tráfico de pessoas no Brasil

Abstract

There is no doubt that the crime of human trafficking is a complex topic, relevant and actual. The international market of people moves billions of dollars every year, and it is even more profitable than drug trafficking. According to research conducted in 2006 by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes, this phenomenon is present in all continents States, and Brazil is no exception, being a state, according to the same international organization, considered to have high rates of occurrence of this crime. Thus, this work aims to address the nuances involving human trafficking, from its origins to its purposes, analyzing, also in regard to Brazil, the adoption of public policies and its positioning in respect to that crime in the domestic and external ambit; the criminal devices related to the traffic; and, briefly, the circumstances of the phenomenon in the state of Ceará. For this, were used articles and dissertations, as well as research in the homeland doctrine. Although there are clear advances in its treatment, this evolution was not sufficient given the dimension of the problem, demonstrating that there is still a long way to go in its approach and in its study. Only with the combined action of the international organizations and society, leading to an awareness of the population on a large scale, is that it can combat, effectively, this crime that violates human dignity and destroys the lives of countless people around the world.
