Vietnamese Organized Crime in the Czech Republic (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book provides a complex, socio-anthropological analysis of organized crime operating in the Vietnamese diaspora in the Czech Republic and its international implications. Currently, there are about 4 million people of Vietnamese descent living in this diaspora and many other countries, looking for an opportunity to improve their lives. This book draws upon original and primary research including interviews, participant observation, and documentary analysis to trace the migration and history of the Vietnamese diaspora in the Czech Republic. It highlights the influence of crime, criminality and Vietnamese organized crime on the social organization and everyday life of the diaspora. It examines the whole range of organized crime activities that they engage in and argues that they develop contemporary diasporic Asian crime networks which are shaped by the social environment of the host countries. This book contributes to the discourse on the changing identities of the migrants and analyses this crime in a comparative perspective, particularly focussing on Central Europe, to provides insights on migration and crime for a wider international audience.

Rezensionen

"The book is well written. ... Overall, this book combines rich new data with a unique investigation by the CR's criminologists and offers a beneficial review of the existing literature in terms of Vietnamese diasporic communities in general and VOC in particular. It makes a significant addition to the criminological approach in the Global South and is also a helpful resource for understanding VOC in Central Europe."
