Part One presents essays that explore crime in China during the 1980's. By defining China's historical assignment in the last decade of the 20th Century, one essay acquaints the reader with China's major considerations in countering organized crime. Another essay analyzes enterprise crime and its impact on public order. Through an integrated approach, an essay explains patterns in organized crime that have evolved in China since 1979. A description of group crime is the context for discussing legal practices in China in another essay. Five essays describe local and regional variations of organized crime and suggest measures for comprehensive treatment. Each paper provides insights into China's collective mobilization efforts, which involved educational remedies and adjudicative measures used to prevent various types of enterprise crime. Because China actively enlists its citizenry in crime prevention, the authors contend that enterprise crime will not be given much of a chance to grow within its borders. Each writer documents how China's concerted approach aids in eradicating enterprise crime. Three other essays discuss drug trafficking and money laundering in Asia. Historical portrayals provide background data that substantially confirm what law officials have assumed, i.e., that drug trafficking and money laundering schemes are not new problems. Part Two expands on the global impact of enterprise crime. This encompasses the United Nations' role in crime prevention, practical differences between crime in China and the West, and the crime prevention mission of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. 40 notes and a subject index
