At The Knoble, Human Crime refers to crimes that treat people as commodities or exploit human suffering for profit, power, or control. These crimes involve individuals being used as products, targets, or currency in exploitation, regardless of their background or status. This includes: ? Human Trafficking – Buying, selling, or exploiting people for forced labor, sexual exploitation, or servitude. ? Child Sexual Exploitation – The abuse, trafficking, or online exploitation of minors. ? Elder Fraud – Financial scams and abuse targeting older adults. ? Financial Scams – Deceptive schemes that manipulate individuals into financial losses, often tied to organized crime networks. These crimes are often interconnected, with financial systems playing a crucial role in enabling and preventing them. That’s why The Knoble mobilizes financial professionals, law enforcement, and organizations to disrupt these crimes at their source. Join the fight to stop human crime. ??
