1. HUMAN TRAFFICKING:

Human trafficking is the business in humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labour or for the extraction of organs or tissues. Trafficking is a profitable industry, representing an estimated $32 billion per year in international trade, compared to the estimated annual $650 billion for all illegal international trade. There are many different estimates of how large the human trafficking and sex trafficking industries are. According to an estimate, 27 million people are in “modern-day slavery” across the globe. In 2008, the U.S. Department of State estimates that 2 million children are exploited by the global commercial sex trade. In the same year, a study classified 12.3 million individuals worldwide as “forced labourers, bonded labourers or sex-trafficking victims.” Approximately 1.39 million of these individuals worked as commercial sex slaves, with women and girls comprising 98%, or 1.36 million, of this population. It is a crime that is very usual in practice in many countries of the world. In any case it is very strongly prohibited by law.

2. PORNOGRAPHY:

Most of the people don’t think pornography as a crime but recent studies showed its adverse effects that are horrible. It is one of the top most controversial business. It is freedom of expression that is protected by the first amendment to the U.S. constitution. It is considered a form of acting where the actors and actress are involved in either real or fake obscene and explicit scenes in any form of media representation. Many aspects of pornography contribute to its controversial nature. Researches explain that it increases the crimes of rape and sexual abuse in the society. Along with that, it is also harmful for the well-being of the person who watches such obscenities because it can cause sexual dysfunction as well as affect your physical well-being. Many people have views that prostitution and pornography has many similarities. The only noticeable difference with pornography is that it is filmed and intended to be sold to a larger audience. Most people strongly believe that pornography disgrace women. Many women across the U.S. have even banded together to stop distribution of porn, due to belief that porn is causing more violence and rape incidents among women to occur. Because of horrible effects it is now considered as a severe crime and also the most controversial business of the World.

3. ONLINE DATA LEAKAGE:

Web usage has become viral now a  days. It has many useful aspects along with some bad effects which include increase in the rate of cyber crimes. Online data leakage is one the most important cyber crimes. Like in real life there are also thieves, spies and secret agents on internet as well. They steal your information and then exploit this information through illegal ways. They sell your important personal data on internet to others. It includes your debit/Credit card info, e-mail addresses, bank account info, passwords, hard drive data and much more very important information. The big tech giants like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter and Face book are found involved in users data spying. Employees around the globe are using business networks to communicate, collaborate, and access data. Businesses eager to increase productivity have embraced the growing integration of network communications and business operations, and have encouraged employees to take advantage of technology such as wireless devices and public hotspots. Productivity is booming, but network-based collaboration introduces corporate data into a broader environment that is more vulnerable and difficult to protect.

Data stored on the corporate network is also at risk because it is more accessible than ever. Organizations provide easy access to databases for information sharing, and storage and compression technology has allowed for more powerful (and risk-laden) endpoints. An 80-MB mobile device now holds 6000 Microsoft Word documents or 720,000 emails, and new 64-GB removable devices allow an entire hard drive to be copied onto a device the size of a pack of gum. These devices make it easier for employees, partners, or data thieves to access, move, or lose intellectual property or customer data.

In addition to having more data at risk, businesses today suffer greater consequences if that data is lost or compromised. The loss of intellectual property, such as proprietary product blueprints, financial data, and merger and acquisition plans, can damage a company's reputation, undermine its brand, or jeopardize its competitive edge.

4. PROSTITUTION:

Prostitution is one of the oldest profession as well as most controversial business in the world. It is the business or practice of engaging in sexual relations, especially in a promiscuous way, in exchange for payment in money or other things of value. According to an estimate, the number of full-time equivalent prostitutes in a typical area in the United States is estimated at 23 per 100,000 population (0.023%), of which some 4% were under 18. The length of these prostitutes’ working careers was estimated at a mean of 5 years. In London, estimated that one woman in 35 was working as a prostitute, compared to one in 300. The number of men that have used a prostitute at least once varies widely from country to country, from an estimated low of 9% in the United Kingdom, to a high of 80% in Cambodia. Prostitution, due to increasing rate of occurrence has become the most important issue. It’s now labelled as a crime in many countries, and has now become a top most priority of all the women rights association all around the world. Prostitution is illegal in all states except Nevada, where it is strictly regulated. Some state statutes punish the act of prostitution, and other state statutes criminalize the acts of soliciting prostitution, arranging for prostitution, and operating a house of prostitution. On the federal level, the Mann Act (18 U.S.C.A. § 2421 [as amended 1986] makes it a crime to transport a person in interstate or foreign commerce for the purpose of prostitution or for any other immoral purpose.

Prostitution, historically and currently a trade largely practiced by women, was not a distinct offense in colonial America. A prostitute could be arrested for Vagrancy if she were loitering on the streets, but generally, the act of engaging in sex for money was not itself a crime.

The first prostitution statutes were enacted during the so-called Progressive political movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Urban areas experienced unprecedented growth during this period. Cities became the centers of industrial manufacturing and production, and they were quickly ravaged by disease and poverty. The Progressive movement emphasized education and instituted new government controls over the activities of the general population. The movement introduced the Prohibition of alcohol, which was banned from 1919 to 1933, vested government with increased power over the lives of poor persons, and created a host of new criminal laws, including laws on prostitution. Prostitution increased during this period, and it was seen as one of the biggest threats to public health because of its potential to spread debilitating venereal diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea. Prostitutes were viewed as moral failures. The male customers of prostitutes were not held up to scorn, but the women who practiced prostitution were seen as responsible for increases in crime and the general decay of social morals.

5. FAKE DOCUMENT MAKING:

Another most controversial and worst business is fake documents making. It includes all invalid documents such as fake degree, certificates, passports, ID cards etc. It is very common in many underdeveloped countries where there is no law against it. This is a very severe ethical crime and in some countries there is a law against it too.

6. ORGANS SMUGGLING:

Organs smuggling or body parts smuggling is the most unethical and inhuman act. Many countries have laws against it to discourage the persons involved in such shameful act. Organ trade is the trade of human organs for the purpose of transplantation. As of 2011, about 90,000 people were reported to be waiting for a new organ On average, an individual will wait three and a half years for an organ to become available for transplant.There is a worldwide shortage of organs available for transplantation,yet commercial trade in human organs was at one point illegal in all countries except Iran. The legal status of organ trade, however, is changing around the world. For example, in 2013, both Australia and Singapore legalized financial compensation for living organ donors.Illegal organ trafficking is widespread, but data on the extent of the black market is difficult to obtain. The question of whether to legalize the organ trade to combat illegal trafficking and organ shortage is hotly debated.

7. CIGARETTE:

It is not considered as a crime in many societies but indeed it a crime because cigarette contains such components that are injurious to human beings. There are very few countries where this act is considered as a crime and they have a law against it. Because of its prevalence it is undoubtedly the most controversial business. A cigarette is a small cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves rolled in thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder; its smoke is inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth; in some cases, a cigarette holder may be used, as well. Most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered and also include reconstituted tobacco and other additives.

The term cigarette, as commonly used, refers to a tobacco cigarette, but can apply to similar devices containing other substances, such as cannabis. A cigarette is distinguished from a cigar by its smaller size, use of processed leaf, and paper wrapping, which is normally white, though other colors and flavors are also available. Cigars are typically composed entirely of whole-leaf tobacco.

Rates of cigarette smoking vary widely throughout the world and have changed considerably since cigarettes were first widely used in the mid-19th century. While rates of smoking have over time leveled off or declined in the developed world, they continue to rise in developing nations.

8. DRUGS:

The Illegal drug trade is a global black market that is dedicated to the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and sale of drugs that are subject to drug prohibition laws. Most jurisdictions prohibit trade, except under license, of many types of drugs through the use of drug prohibition laws.Drugs are considered to be a killer for many people. Its smuggling is an unethical act that should have to be condemned at every level. Almost every country have a law in their constitution against this inhuman act, but because of few lapses it is very common and included in our list of 10 Most Controversial Business of The World. a. A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication.

b. Such a substance as recognized or defined by the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

2. A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behavior and often addiction.

3. Obsolete A chemical or dye.

tr.v. drugged, drug·ging, drugs

1.a. To administer a drug to, especially to treat pain or induce anesthesia.

b. To give a drug to, especially surreptitiously, in order to induce stupor.

2. To poison or mix (food or drink) with a drug.

9. TAKING BRIBE:

Taking bribe is an act that supports many illegal activities. It is also not acceptable on ethical basis. Recently, whole businesses have been established where you can get almost any inhumane thing done in return for a heavy bribe. It is also considered as a crime in many countries. Bribery is the act of giving money, goods or other forms of recompense to a recipient in exchange for an alteration of their behavior (to the benefit/interest of the giver) that the recipient would otherwise not alter. Bribery is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.

Gifts of money or other items of value which are otherwise available to everyone on an equivalent basis, and not for dishonest purposes, is not bribery. Offering a discount or a refund to all purchasers is a legal rebate and is not bribery. For example, it is legal for an employee of a Public Utilities Commission involved in electric rate regulation to accept a rebate on electric service that reduces their cost for electricity, when the rebate is available to other residential electric customers. If the rebate was done to influence them to look favorably on the electric utility's rate increase applications, however, that would be bribery, and unlawful.

The bribe is the gift bestowed to influence the recipient's conduct. It may be money, goods, rights in action, property, preferment, privilege, emolument, objects of value, advantage, or merely a promise to induce or influence the action, vote, or influence of a person in an official or public capacity.

10. SALE OF CHILDRENS:

Trafficking of children involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring, or receipt of children for the purpose of exploitation. It’s one of most controversial business and severe crime. It takes many forms, including forcing a child into prostitution or other forms of sexual activity or child pornography. It included forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude, the removal of organs, illicit international adoption, trafficking for early marriage, recruitment as child soldiers, for use in begging or as athletes (such as child camel jockeys or football players), or for recruitment for cults. Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography is a protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and requires parties to prohibit the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography.

The Protocol was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2000[2] and entered into force on 18 January 2002.[1] As of late-September 2015, 171 states are party to the protocol and another nine states have signed but not ratified it]

According to the preamble, the protocol is intended to achieve the purposes of certain articles in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, where the rights are defined with the provision that parties should take "appropriate measures" to protect them. Article 1 of the protocol requires parties to protect the rights and interests of child victims of trafficking, child prostitution and child pornography, child labour and especially the worst forms of child labour.

The remaining articles in the protocol outline the standards for international law enforcement covering diverse issues such as jurisdictional factors, extradition, mutual assistance in investigations, criminal or extradition proceedings and seizure and confiscation of assets as well.

It also obliges parties to pass laws within their own territories against these practices "punishable by appropriate penalties that take into account their grave nature."
