Book Description
"Many countries on the Pacific Rim have attempted to tackle the problem of organized crime through the introduction of specific legislation. This study -- the first in our new Study Series, designed to bring to light recent research from the academic community -- urges caution on that front. It also makes some specific recommendations for strengthening the criminal justice response over the long haul. Perhaps most importantly, it calls for all jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region to work in a more harmonized and compatible manner when they criminalise and prosecute organized crime"--Foreword.
