Conclusion --Notes --References --Index --About the AuthorsIn a country long associated with the trade in opiates, the Chinese government has for decades applied extreme measures to curtail the spread of illicit drugs, only to find that the problem has worsened. Burma is blamed as the major producer of illicit drugs and conduit for the entry of drugs into China. Which organizations are behind the heroin trade? What problems and prospects of drug control in the so-called “Golden Triangle” drug-trafficking region are faced by Chinese and Southeast Asian authorities? In The Chinese Heroin Trade, noted criminologists Ko-Lin Chin and Sheldon Zhang examine the social organization of the trafficking of heroin from the Golden Triangle to China and the wholesale and retail distribution of the drug in China. Based on face-to-face interviews with hundreds of incarcerated drug traffickers, street-level drug dealers, users, and authorities, paired with extensive fieldwork in the border areas of Burma and China and several major urban centers in China and Southeast Asia, this volume reveals how the drug trade has evolved in the Golden Triangle since the late 1980's. Chin and Zhang also explore the marked characteristics of heroin traffickers; the relationship between drug use and sales in China; and how China compares to other international drug markets. The Chinese Heroin Trade is a fascinating, nuanced account of the world of high-risk drug trafficking in a tightly-controlled society.Drug controlChinaDrug trafficSoutheast AsiaDrug trafficChinaHeroin industrySoutheast AsiaHeroin industryChinaDrug controlDrug trafficDrug trafficHeroin industryHeroin industry363.450951Chin Ko-linauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut847180Zhang Sheldon X.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910797243803321The Chinese heroin trade3702558UNINA00942nam1 22002533i 450 VAN027552620240430115320.14920240430g2016 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||Advances in Microbiology, Infectious Diseases and Public Healtheditor Gianfranco DonelliChamSpringer2016-volumi24 cm001VAN02755282000 17editor Gianfranco Donelli210 ChamSpringer2023215 VI, 171 p.ill.24 cm17CHChamVANL001889DonelliGianfrancoVANV228011Springer <editore>VANV108073650ITSOL20240614RICAhttps://www.springer.com/series/13513https://www.springer.com/series/13513NVAN0275526Advances in microbiology, infectious diseases and public health1901317UNICAMPANIA
