Summary/Abstract: There are different forms or types of manifestation of crimes of violence in modern society. One of particularly dangerous, serious forms of crimes of violence with international significance, which causes particularly serious consequences, both for the victims and for the safety of the social community as a whole, is human trafficking. These are different, often violent forms or types of exploitation of other persons, especially women or children, which often have a cross-border character. Therefore, the international community became involved in the suppression and prevention of human trafficking, either as a form of classic, general crime, or as a form of organized transactional crime. Through a series of international documents, it lays the foundation for organized, systematic and continuous activity of the competent authorities of individual states. In all criminal legislations in modern countries, including the positive legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, human trafficking is prescribed as a serious criminal offense with several different forms - types of manifestation for which severe punishments and other criminal sanctions are prescribed, which is discussed in this paper.
