Based upon a
database
compiled by the
author, this
presentation
provides an
overview of the
development of
China's criminal
underworld
during the past
two decades and
a quantitative
assessment of
its current
state. Through
examining the
organized
criminal groups,
this
presentation
assesses the
hardcore of
China's criminal
underworld
mafia-style
criminal
syndicates and
its greater
base, the underworld society. It argues that a challenge from the criminal underworld has increasingly posed as a serious threat to the transition course of Chinese society. It also gives explanations to the recent resurgence of the criminal underworld in China through a perspective of political science, putting stress on the state-failure factors. Accordingly, suggestions are made to the scholarly community and the policy circles.
