This brief offers a unique and innovative account of the role of internet and digital technologies in human smuggling and trafficking. It explores new illegal paths through the web by analyzing how traffickers and smugglers use the visible and dark web during different phases of the process, including recruitment, transportation, and exploitation. Featuring case studies from two European countries, Italy and the United Kingdom, it outlines the types of websites used in these processes, how they are used, and common behavior patterns. With a view of transnational criminal activities involving actors from individual criminal entrepreneurs to organized crime groups and fluid large criminal networks, this brief will be of use to law enforcement, researchers of trafficking and organized crime, and policy makers.
Provides a unique criminological and sociological analysis into the phenomenon of digital technology in the processes of human smuggling and trafficking Presents research grounded in two years of fieldwork using a variety of research methods, including an ethnography of the visible and dark web Engages with research and practitioner communities at the local, national, and international levels
