Dr. Daniel Silverstone publishes on Chinese organised crime

Dr Daniel Silverstone, who teaches across the Criminology subject area in the faculty on undergraduate and postgraduate courses, has had a journal article published in Global Crime.

The article revisits the continued existence of organised crime within the Chinese community, with particular reference to snakeheads and the trafficking or smuggling of illegal migrants. It begins by exploring the history of Chinese organised crime within the United Kingdom and situates its continued existence within an ever more diverse 'Chinese community'.

It then explores the mechanisms, which enable illegal migrants to obtain criminal employment and discusses the motivations of those involved.
