“…In this regard, it would be useful to implement a possible preventive strategy on crime-proofing of legislation. The crime-proofing is a method of crime risk assessment associated with the regulation of legitimate markets which prof. Savona developed under 6th Framework Programme Project (Albanese 2008;Albrecht and Kilchling 2002;Curtol et al 2006;Savona et al 2006). The assumption is that legislation can be criminogenic: the complexity of rules, the presence of overlapping or gaps in the law, as well as specific provisions of the law, can become unintentionally vulnerability factors.…”

“…The population shown on this page is not the whole population of any given country. But the goal is to highlight the communal nature of crimes against humanity ( Albanese, J. S. , 2008) Under this presumption, it is imperative that an assault on a single individual or group of people not be planned at random. The victim of a crime against humanity must, instead, belong to a recognized group, which is often identified by linguistic, national, religious, or other affinities.…”

Human trafficking crimes threaten societies' security and stability. They also hinder social growth and harm economic, social, and security institutions. These crimes also confront global security agencies, pushing the international community to fight them. By establishing accords and conventions to address slavery and enslavement, one of the most disgraceful global afflictions and a grave infringement on human rights, including the trafficking, sale, and exploitation of individuals, sometimes called transnational organized crime, Unfortunately, every country is vulnerable to humanitarian violations. through Crossing borders takes many forms. There is also a lack of accurate statistical data and thorough information on human trafficking, especially for women and children. in the light of the lack of agreement on basic assessments, data, and indications of the volume and geographic distribution of different kinds of trafficking makes tackling this problem difficult. A crime cannot be called a "phenomenon" without specifying its scope. also, the victims' ambition for quick and large financial gain drives them into trouble. Organized crime syndicates exploit this tendency, coupled with poverty, unemployment, military conflicts, and natural disasters. Family disintegration, population growth, slums, globalization, the Internet, and an environment of culture that exploits people, especially vulnerable groups, contribute to perceiving them as a commodity that can generate income. Human trafficking victims face security, economic, social, political, psychological, and health risks. Some of these effects may be lethal. The victim's broke immigration and employment rules, as well as fraud, forgery, bribery, smuggling, and rape. Thus, this crime may exceed traditional criminality by including a variety of interrelated violations that result in inhumane deeds. Technology serves as a catalyst for the amplification of trafficking operations, facilitating the widespread commercialization and exploitation of victims. Victims are subject to recurrent exploitation when perpetrators reproduce identical advertisements and engage in live-streaming activities across various platforms, with the intention of maximizing their reach and financial gains. Technology has also contributed to reducing the barriers for individuals involved in human trafficking. In the past, criminal organizations would have had to establish physical control and dominance over specific urban areas, typically relying on a large network of members. However, newcomers to the human trafficking industry can now effectively operate an online business without the necessity of a physical criminal infrastructure and with a smaller workforce. Consequently, the acquisition of technological expertise may enhance the potency of a criminal organization while also rendering it more elusive to law enforcement entities. So the paper will clarify the challenges of these serious crimes in all their forms (traditional and modern) and the weakness of international, rigorous cooperation in confrontation and its negative impacts on international society as a whole.

“…It is used here to designate a captain of a powerful criminal organization. Variously known as crime boss, gang boss, don, kingpin, mafia boss, mastermind or mob boss, a crime lord wields ruthless and near-absolute powers within the structure of a criminal organization (see Albanese, 1995; Pistone, 2005). In the context of armed banditry in Nigeria, the crime lord leads a more-or-less sedentary bandit network that recognizes a central leadership built around his personality and charisma.…”

Armed banditry is prevalent in Nigeria. It has competed with insurgency for the soul of Nigeria’s national security. Contemporary trajectories of armed banditry in Nigeria have been full of complications. One of the complications is the emergence of crime lords who engage in a self-aggrandizing but also socially sensitive criminal career. This paper seeks to explore the phenomenon of ‘crimelordism’ as a new trend in armed banditry in Nigeria. Utilizing a mixed qualitative method, the paper posits that the prevalence of grossly under-governed territorial spaces, especially in the countryside and borderlands of Nigeria, has created a vacuum of security that is being exploited by criminal kingpins to establish enclaves of criminality where they wield and exercise quasi-territorial powers. The paper submits that ‘crimelordism’ holds critical implications for Nigeria’s national security in view of its ruinous impacts.
