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. 606 $aDrug control$zChina 606 $aDrug traffic$zSoutheast Asia 606 $aDrug traffic$zChina 606 $aHeroin industry$zSoutheast Asia 606 $aHeroin industry$zChina 615 0$aDrug control 615 0$aDrug traffic 615 0$aDrug traffic 615 0$aHeroin industry 615 0$aHeroin industry 676 $a363.450951 700 $aChin$b Ko-lin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0847180 702 $aZhang$b Sheldon X.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797243803321 996 $aThe Chinese heroin trade$93702558 997 $aUNINA
