The methods used in this work are the following: legal hermeneutics, statistical, Aristotelian, analysis, induction, and comparative. The main results of the work are as follows: research of the concept of the criminal act
of “human trafficking”, “transnational organisations”, clarification of the scale of
this phenomenon through the coverage of statistical data in Ukraine and in the
world, and the reasons for its occurrence.
