Abstract

Aim: By providing a detailed analysis of the current legal framework for smuggling of human beings, the study may help to improve the practical application of the law.
Methodology: The study presents, describes and interprets the legal definition of the crime of people smuggling.
Findings: In Hungarian criminal law, the regulation of the offence of people smuggling is part of a permanent legislative process, which cannot be completed even today. The legislator, based on the principle of protection of society, has criminalised the activity of people smuggling as human behaviour dangerous to society and provides for a penalty to be imposed on persons committing this crime.
Value: The value of the study is that, by presenting Hungarian criminal legislation, it can serve as an example for other states.
