The triads are an important, sophisticated and international criminal force, involved in protection, drugs, gambling, prostitution, human smuggling and other forms of organized crime. This new and revised edition of The Triads as Business presents a systematic overview of the triads and their activities. Following on from the first edition of this fascinating book, this updated text brings the information to the present and covers a number of additional areas of triad activity. It shows how, since the handover of Hong Kong to China, there have been increasing fears that the influence of the triads will spread to the West through emigration.
