Reviews

“The book is well written. … Overall, this book combines rich new data with a unique investigation by the CR’s criminologists and offers a beneficial review of the existing literature in terms of Vietnamese diasporic communities in general and VOC in particular. It makes a significant addition to the criminological approach in the Global South and is also a helpful resource for understanding VOC in Central Europe.” (Hai Thanh Luong, Trends in Organized Crime, Vol. 24, 2021)
