In the present dissertation an attempt is made to approach the criminal phenomenon of piracy. Specifically, piracy will be discussed as a crime in both domestic and international legal regimes. Maritime piracy will be presented as a major issue that particularly plagues the economies of countries, but mainly poses risks to the people involved themselves. A phenomenon that insists on existing as a "tradition" over the years and whose gravity could not escape the attention not only of the legal and economic world, but also of social science, as well as maritime activity. Reference will be made to the historical development of the issue and policies to address it in the past, in order to capture more actively both the criticality of the situation and the effectiveness of the measures that have been imposed from time to time. Finally, means of suppressing the criminal phenomenon that modern domestic and international criminal science has imposed as a perpetual effort to resolve and eliminate it will be proposed. This is an issue that clearly needs to be addressed and that repression practices should initially focus on the internal management of the causes that lead to the occurrence of piracy. The root cause is, of course, the poverty of many states. And if suppressing the phenomenon with positive actions does not always seem effective, the effort to tackle poverty by international organizations and the EU itself would inevitably contribute to alleviating the phenomenon.
