Chapter 147 Enlightenment (3)
"Okay. Let's first review the background circumstances of the emergence and development of human trafficking crimes and the deep-seated reasons for their spread." Hou Yu.
When the professor lectures, he always goes from the basics to the complex, peeling off the layers one by one...
"The phenomenon of trafficking in women and children has existed since ancient times and has its own unique social and historical soil in China. According to research, it appeared at the end of primitive society and became open and legal in the slave society. During the Song Dynasty, trafficking crimes were rampant in Sichuan; in the Republic of China, girls were sold into brothels frequently. It was not until modern society that this ugly phenomenon was defined as a crime. After the founding of New China, it was basically eradicated after a full-scale crackdown... However, starting in the 1980s, the market economy developed rapidly, and a large number of people flocked to cities, forming an invisible and huge floating population. However, some of these people, due to the limitations of their cultural quality and technical level, were unable to adapt to market requirements and faced elimination... So, in order to make money, some people acted recklessly and turned human trafficking, which had long been thrown into the garbage dump of history, into a profitable business. This turned people who were not originally commodities into commodities and put them into the market, giving this criminal act room to parasitize on the market." Hou Yu.
She then detailed the evolution of criminal organizations and their forms: In the 1970s and 1980s, crimes were generally committed by individuals who lured children and women and then resold them. In the 1990s, trafficking gangs emerged, and a detailed division of labor began.
abduction;
kidnapping;
buy;
trafficking;
Pick-up and drop-off;
Transit...
Then, large-scale criminal groups that trafficked women and children across borders emerged one after another. Modern transportation and communication tools were skillfully used by criminals to commit trafficking crimes.
After 2000, the public security authorities launched a resolute and ruthless crackdown on the crime of trafficking in women and children, curbing the momentum of its early spread...
In order to survive, some large criminal groups consciously strengthened their intelligence and established a set of strict organizational systems and confidentiality regulations.
Criminals use pseudonyms to communicate with each other, do not inquire about each other's personal circumstances, and communicate through single lines;
The trafficking links have become increasingly refined, loosening the connections between members... and a networked form of the crime of trafficking in women and children has emerged.
"The internal organizational structure of criminal gangs is complex, and the interpersonal relationships are intricate, so it is difficult to grasp their regular characteristics as a whole from the outside. Generally, we can only crack down on each case as soon as we discover it. For example, after the police in a certain province cracked a child trafficking case, they found that among the children they rescued, each abducted child may have passed through the hands of more than a dozen human traffickers... Just imagine, if there is a problem in one of these more than ten links, it will be very difficult to rescue the child." Hou Yu.
"However, after studying hundreds of cases, I found that the size of a typical trafficking ring ranges from dozens to hundreds of people. It is mainly composed of the following components..." Hou Yu then listed in detail the common structure of criminal groups:
The first part is about the human traffickers who abduct women and children, and their superiors.
These traffickers primarily source women and children and generally operate within the region of origin. They employ various tactics, including deception, kidnapping, coercion, and anesthesia, to compel their victims to comply with their demands and commit crimes, ultimately receiving a negotiated payment.
The one online is the leader of the human traffickers, maybe the leader, maybe the big boss... They are responsible for directly contacting the contacts sent by the buyers in the abducted areas.
