This is true. Sweden is a good case study for this, as they made prostitution illegal in 1999, and they saw a decrease in human trafficking in the following years. This can be compared to Denmark and Germany, which have more permissive laws around prostitution, which didn't see similar declines.

Legal markets lead to black markets. Same thing with guns, the most illegal guns are in the same country with the most legal guns.

Legal markets without controls. If you controls the legal markets, the black markets will have a harder time to set in.
