Discuss the differences between human smuggling and trafficking.
What will be an ideal response?
There are key differences between the crimes of trafficking and smuggling. Smuggling occurs when someone is paid to assist another in the illegal crossing of borders. This relationship typically ends after the border has been crossed and the individual has paid the smuggler a fee for assistance. If the smuggler sells or "brokers" the smuggled individual into a condition of servitude, or if the smuggled individual cannot pay the smuggler and is then forced to work that debt off, the crime has now turned from smuggling into human trafficking. The key distinction between trafficking and smuggling lies in the individual's freedom of choice. A person may choose and arrange to be smuggled into a country, but when a person is forced into a situation of exploitation whereby their freedom is taken away, he/she is then a victim of human trafficking. Central to the distinction is the denial of the victim's liberty.
