Examining the China-Vietnam Border Liaison Office Mechanism in Combating Drug Trafficking
Positioned within the geopolitically sensitive border regions linking Southeast and East Asia, the Vietnam–China frontier has historically served as a key conduit for narcotics from the Golden Triangle. This study explores the Border Liaison Office (BLO) mechanism along the Vietnam–China border, using the Laocai–Hekou corridor as a case study of cross-border governance in combating drug trafficking. Promoted by the UNODC since the early 2000s, th…
Cross-border drug trafficking between Vietnam and China
This study examines the dynamics of cross-border drug trafficking (CBDT) between Vietnam and China, a critical yet understudied nexus within Southeast Asia’s illicit narcotics trade. Drawing on comparative analysis, the paper explores the historical development of trafficking routes and CBDT networks in border communities. The research is framed by three theoretical perspectives: criminogenic asymmetries Passas (Eur J Criminol Law Reform 1, 1999)…
“Simple job, high salary”
Many victims in Southeast Asia have been trapped in pig-butchering schemes in Cambodia during and after the pandemic. As new forms of scam-forced criminality via trafficking in persons operated by Chinese-related syndicates, traffickers use social platforms to pose as job recruiters and post fraudulent employment opportunities in cyberspace. Unlike other traffickers, however, scam operations target educated victims with exploitable skills and pro…

Community-based policing of natural disasters in Vietnam
Vietnam, one of the few remaining communist countries in the world, is a unique and under-researched context for exploring the governance and provision of security before, during and after natural disasters. Its geographical location means that it is extremely vulnerable to the environmental impacts of climate change, particularly hydrometeorological disasters such as typhoons and floods. For this reason, policing scholars worldwide are increasin…
Wrongful convictions in asian countries
Any wrongful conviction causes severe violations to the individual, their loved ones, the criminal justice system, and the validity of justice. While Anglo-American countries have focused on wrongful convictions since the 1930s, some Asian contexts have only considered these unjust errors within the scope of their legal approaches since the 2010s. To investigate this issue, this paper conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) of the Scopus a…

Transnational drug trafficking in Southeast Asia
Over its fifty years of established existence beginning in 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has expounded its consolidated and integrated model in political relations, economic developments, and cultural values. However, confronted by threats to global security, ASEAN has also faced the complex impacts of transnational narcotics trafficking (TransNT). The study uses grey literature as secondary data to illustrate the curre…
Paradoxical issues in eradicating opium cultivation in Myanmar
Supporting drug‐producing communities in alternative livelihoods from harm reduction activists is a common practice in Myanmar and other drug‐producing countries. And yet, the voices of opium farmers are rarely heard. This paper assesses why Myanmar farmers continue to grow opium poppy and analyzes their current concerns and the practical challenges in eradicating opium cultivation in Myanmar. This analysis combines field observations and seconda…
Tackling Environmental Crimes and Biological Threats Across Borders of the Greater Mekong Subregion
Wildlife trafficking and other commodities associated with environmental crimes traded across the borders of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) carry direct or indirect risks for biological threats. Outbreaks associated with these threats can have devasting implications for human populations as well as for farmed or native animal and plant populations. Although the links between environmental crimes and biological threats are obvious, we see two …
Why Vietnam continues to impose the death penalty for drug offences

Reprint of
In several nations in Southeast Asia, illegally importing, exporting, trading, or possessing drugs is a capital offence. Like China, another communist state in Asia, Vietnam imposes its harshest legal punishments for drug-related crimes, though many international opponents have continued to call for the abolishment of these inhumane sentences. Using grey literature, reports by international observers, and informal interviews with colleagues, the …
Exploring Loan Sharks in Online Peer-to-Peer Lending Applications
Online peer-to-peer lending applications have emerged in some recent years in Vietnam, where the consumer lending market is potential for financial companies. This country faces challenges to control the online lending business. As a result, criminals find loopholes in the legal system on this business to commit loan sharks. This article targets to explore the nature of the connection between a loan shark and online peer-to-peer lending applicati…
Social norms and political constructions of drug use
Situated close to the Golden Triangle region, and lying across important South-East Asian region traffic routes, Vietnam has a long history of drug use. The negative attitudes among Vietnamese people towards drug use have emerged from the past actions of colonial governments and recently been influenced by social media and political factors. Yet the reality of drug use is more complex, and it is essential to move beyond the overly simple axiom th…

Community-based policing in Covid-19
While the COVID-19 pandemic is still infecting without unpredictable estimations around the world, the role of law enforcement in the deal with this crisis is still debating. Mainly, among multidisciplinary research studies, the question of policing and police responses to deal with this virus is necessary to look for different approaches and several comparisons between national, regional, and international scale. This paper is the first study to…
Drug Production, Consumption, and Trafficking in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region
The Greater Mekong Sub-Region is threatened by illicit drug production, consumption, and trafficking. I review the trends in these concerns and also assess regional cooperation in drug control. I analyze some of the main barriers to combating drug trafficking, before suggesting a set of priorities for bilateral and multilateral cooperation
