The criminal policy against Human Trafficking in Ecuador and Peru is compared, based on the plans for 2030 and the role of social networks in the criminal pattern. We observed that the Ecuadorian plan is characterized by a strong sociological vision, which places the problems of the social structure (such as rurality and inequality) as the causes of crime, and because of it, they conclude that the improvement of social conditions would lead to the Trafficking reduction. On the contrary, the Peruvian plan warns about the need to build situational criminal policies oriented towards criminal opportunity and criminal patterns, as suggested by the UNODC. However, the structural sociological approach prevails over that Plan when it is translated into a protocol of action that ignores it. The relevance of each formulation is discussed, in light of the criminological evidence, and it is noted the precarious role assigned in both countries to social networks, as a common pattern in the beginning of crime

Palabras clave : Social networks; situational criminology; crime policies; human trafficking.
