Tráfico internacional de pessoas para o fim da exploração sexual

Abstract

This piece of work aimed to demonstrate the historical and social evolution of the crime considered as the third most lucrative illicit activity in the world. It was also intended to analyse the main differences between the provisions of the revoked Articles 231 and 231-A, both part of the Penal Code, with the evolution of the Brazilian legislation, resulting in the creation of the current Law 13.344 of October 06, 2016, better known as the Law that deals with domestic and international human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, as well as the inclusion of the Art. 149-A of the Penal Code in a broader way, reaching several purposes for which the crime is committed. Finally yet importantly, the main types of sexual exploitation were addressed and the jurisdiction to judge the crime through the theory of ubiquity was shown. As for the method, the basic research was used, based on comparison or reference criteria. Moreover, this article was written using the qualitative nature and the descriptive method. It was possible to conclude that the crime of human trafficking is something that should be treated with significance by society and the state, since, although there is not a wide dissemination of its occurrence, it is usually performed behind closed doors by the criminals. Consequently, it is necessary special attention in order to prevent the commission of the offense.
