Asian Transnational Organized Crime and Its Impact on the United States reports on a study undertaken to preliminarily assess the impact of Asian transnational organized crime on the United States while, at the same time, determining high-priority areas for further research and identifying potential collaborative research partners and sources of relevant data and information in Asia. The first chapter of this monograph describes the divergent perceptions of Asian transnational organized crime held by Asian versus American interviewees, and also offers a researcher's perspective. The second chapter explains the scope and patterns of Asian organized crime. The final chapter offers the researchers' initial assessment of the impact of Asian transnational organized crime on the United States and U.S. interests.
