While implementing economic and political reforms to develop society and the economy since 1986, Vietnam has faced serious challenges to national security and social order associated with the complexities of transnational crimes (e.g., illegal drugs, human trafficking, green crimes and high-tech crimes). Additionally, as an uncharted territory in the field of criminology and policing, overall assessment of these crimes in Vietnam is still absent. Lack of knowledge and background on transnational crimes in Vietnam is considered one of the barriers to full understanding of the nature of cross-border criminals in comparison to other South-East Asian countries. This study analyses specific characteristics and modus operandi of transnational crimes in Vietnam by examining these particularly severe crimes. Findings show there are sophisticated cunning associated with flexible activities to avoid law enforcement monitors. Findings call for further research to inform policymakers and scholars.

东南亚的跨国犯罪及其趋势：越南的详细叙述

自 1986 年以来，越南实施经济和政治改革以发展社会和经济，但由于跨国犯罪（如非法毒品、贩卖人口、绿色犯罪和高科技犯罪）的复杂性，越南面临着与国家安全和社会秩序相关的严峻挑战。 . 此外，作为犯罪学和警务领域的未知领域，越南仍然缺乏对这些犯罪的整体评估。与其他东南亚国家相比，越南缺乏对跨国犯罪的知识和背景被认为是全面了解跨境犯罪分子性质的障碍之一。本研究通过考察这些特别严重的犯罪，分析了越南跨国犯罪的具体特征和作案手法。调查结果表明，为了躲避执法监督，灵活的活动存在着复杂的狡猾。调查结果呼吁进一步研究为决策者和学者提供信息。
