of crime and its treatment. It is related to those conducts of human behavior
which are prohibited by criminal laws and social norms. There are three
principles of criminology, namely, sociology of law, criminal etiology and
penology. Sociology of law is the study of crime as a social phenomenon and it
is the scientific analysis of social conditions which are responsible for the
criminal behavior. Criminology sees that human trafficking is the criminalbehavior which violates human rights and breaks criminal law. No matter what
the degree of immorality and indecency of an act, human trafficking is not a
crime unless it is prohibited by the criminal law. Criminal etiology analyses
the causes of crime including those conditions which lead to committing of
crimes. Criminal etiology sees that poverty, deceit, distraction, unemployment,
lure of job, migration, inequity and corruption are the major causes of human
trafficking. Penology is the study of penal code and crime control and explores
remedies which may help in the rehabilitation of victims.
