Among all criminal charges...
There is no doubt.
The penalty for the crime of trafficking women and children has the highest upper limit, which can be the death penalty.
However...
In recent years.
There has been a differing opinion in the legal community suggesting that the death penalty for human trafficking should be abolished.
Reducing its maximum penalty to life imprisonment.
The main reasons are as follows.
First, if the maximum penalty is the death penalty, it cuts off all paths for the criminals, inevitably leading them to act recklessly and desperately.
Leading to more harm to others and society.
Contradicting the original intent of using punishment to stabilize society.
Second, because in the classification of criminal law, for the crime of trafficking women and children, the maximum term for other similar charges is only life imprisonment.
If this one is singled out...
It contradicts the rigor of legislation.
Moreover, human trafficking is a dual crime.
