Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMCG) have been growing in almost every nation in the world. Men across the world are forming new clubs using the Hells Angels’ model of outlaw clubs. East Asia is seeing exponential growth of clubs and the arrival of foreign clubs. But these events are not uniform across the region. Nonetheless, it is strange that a very American model of social deviance could become popular in the communitarian cultures of East Asia. The expansion of the culture presents the possibility of local adoption of the criminogenic culture of Western OMCG. This paper tracked the rise of locally formed clubs in each nation of East Asia as well as the arrival of international clubs with chapters in the region. It compared club growth to GDP per capita, the gender inequality index and authoritarianism of governments, to determine if there were correlations. The study found 310 locally formed clubs in East Asia, most of which have formed in the last two decades. No substantial correlations were found to club growth by local clubs or arrival of international clubs.

东亚非法摩托车帮派兴起的调查

非法摩托车帮派(OMCG)在世界上几乎每个国家都在增长。世界各地的人们都在使用地狱天使的非法俱乐部模式组建新的俱乐部。东亚的俱乐部数量呈指数级增长,而外国俱乐部则不断涌现。但是这些事件在整个地区并不统一。然而,很奇怪的是,一种非常美国化的社会偏差模式可能在东亚的社群主义文化中流行起来。文化的扩展提出了在当地采用西方OMCG的犯罪文化的可能性。本文追踪了在东亚每个国家中本地成立的俱乐部的兴起,以及在该地区设有分会的国际俱乐部的到来。它将俱乐部的增长与人均GDP,性别不平等指数和政府的威权主义进行了比较,确定是否存在相关性。研究发现,东亚有310家在当地成立的俱乐部,其中大多数是在过去二十年中组建的。没有发现当地俱乐部或国际俱乐部的出现与俱乐部的增长有实质性的相关性。
