Abstract

This chapter explores the current challenges and transitional needs required to regulate digital entrepreneurship within the illicit economy by examining digital entrepreneurship relating to commercial sex and trafficking in human beings for the purpose of sexual exploitation. As such, new innovative digital technologies are transforming serious and organised crime operations and, thus, need to also change the way the law, enforcement, and the wider criminal justice system combat crime. The chapter seeks to expose contemporary practises of digitally-facilitated commercial sex and trafficking in human beings for the purpose of sexual exploitation, recent developments in law and policy in the area, emerging investigative and prosecution practises within digital online environments, as well as necessary future changes to the law and enforcement.
