Human Smuggling

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionaryProfessional

Abstract

Human smuggling is based on a consensus between smuggler, smuggled, and his/her family (which usually guarantees or effectuates payment). However, unauthorized immigrants are violating immigration laws and human smugglers are profiting from enabling illegal immigration. Both human smuggling and its criminalization can in fact be regarded as a product of restrictive migration and asylum policies. Stringent border controls and internal controls are the traditional ways to identify and detain illegal migrants and catch the smugglers.
