Summary

This book examines the impact of Asian transnational organised crime on the United States. It looks into the structure, activity, and harms of Asian transnational organised crime -- including the multiple criminal groups and organisations involved (secret societies, tongs, triads, gangs, drug cartels, criminal networks, etc.), the multiple goods and services that constitute criminal markets (drug production and trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking, money laundering, and the violence attendant to these crimes), and the multiple nations and national components (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Cambodia in addition to the United States) that might be involved.
