Abstract

Human trafficking occurs in various forms. In Indonesia, there is recognition that
forms of exploitative labor in the informal sector, recruitment for the sex industry,
slavery under the guise of marriage that previously existed and were accepted by
society, considering the many cases that occurred in Indonesia, the question arises
whether the government has anticipated these problems and what efforts have
been and will be made. Indonesia also confirmed a protocol for preventing and
prosecuting human trafficking, namely Law Number 14 of 2009. The ratification of
the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially
Women Against Transnational Organized Crime (Protocol to prevent, prosecute
and punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, complements
the UN Convention against Traditional Organized Crime). Trafficking in persons,
especially women and children, is an act that is contrary to human dignity and
violates human rights. The issues discussed are: What are the criminological
aspects of the crime of human trafficking and what are the steps to prevent the
crime of human trafficking. The type of research used is normative legal research,
namely studying the problems faced in terms of the approach to legislation by
conducting research that focuses on the normative approach to legal concepts.
The results of this study conclude that the criminological aspect in the crime of
human trafficking, Human trafficking, especially women and children, is an act that
is contrary to human dignity and violates human rights so it must be eradicated.
However, the problem of human trafficking in all its forms and types, both carried
out by companies and individuals, is increasingly rampant in society and the steps
to prevent the crime of human trafficking that need to be taken first, empowering
the economy of rural communities, especially in areas that have been sources of
Indonesian workers abroad. This village economic empowerment can be in the
form of capital injections from the government for people who want to start sewing,
making crafts, weaving, and other businesses.
