Study Notes

Human Trafficking and Slavery

Human trafficking is considered a contemporary form of slavery, characterized by the control and exploitation of individuals through forced labor, debt bondage, and hyper-exploitation.
Forms of slavery include bonded labor in sweatshops, child labor in cottage industries and quarries, and servile marriages prevalent in South Asia.
Prostitution trafficking can be traced back to the late 19th century, linked to the "white slave" trade targeting women and young girls.

Legal and Human Rights Violations

Trafficking violates fundamental human rights as outlined in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including the right to freedom from slavery, movement, life, and liberty.

Drug Trafficking

Drug trafficking is one of the world's most profitable illegal activities, generating $40-100 billion annually in the US alone.
Drug traffickers employ various methods to evade authorities, including concealment techniques like false bottoms in luggage and special compartments in vehicles.

Cyber Crimes and Pornography

Cyber terrorism involves acts of terrorism executed through cyberspace, using technology to instill fear or disrupt systems.
Forms of child pornography include nudist, erotica, posing, and explicit sexual activity, often depicting minors in sexualized scenarios.

Cyber-Bullying and Cyber-Extortion

Cyber-bullying entails using digital platforms to harass or intimidate individuals or groups.
Cyber-extortion involves hackers demanding money to cease attacks on individuals or organizations, with attacks often compromising corporate operations.

Money Laundering and Criminal Finance

Money laundering consists of converting illicit funds into legitimate financial assets, often through three stages: placement, layering, and integration.
Placement involves disguising cash from criminal activity, layering entails moving illegitimate funds through various accounts, and integration means returning funds to the mainstream economy.

Environmental Crimes

Environmental crime refers to the deliberate violation of environmental laws for personal gain, impacting ecosystems and human health.
Trafficking in cultural property leads to significant losses of heritage, primarily through looting and illegal trade of artifacts.

Terrorism Concepts

Terrorism employs violence or threats to coerce for political purposes, using fear to dominate civil populations.
Types of terrorism include state-sponsored terrorism, bio-terrorism, left-wing and right-wing terrorism, and eco-terrorism, each with distinct motivations and targets.

Examples of Terrorism

Drug cartels utilize violent tactics to resist law enforcement efforts.
North Korea exemplifies state-sponsored terrorism through repression of dissent and fear tactics.
The Anthrax attacks of 2001 serve as a notable example of bio-terrorism using biological agents to threaten safety.

Nuclear and Eco-Terrorism

Nuclear terrorism encompasses the use or threat of nuclear materials to instigate fear or destruction.
Eco-terrorism, exemplified by the Earth Liberation Front, involves actions taken to protect the environment that often result in property destruction.
