The International Association of Asian Crime Investigators (IAACI) was originally founded to provide intellectual cross-fertilization between law enforcement and the private sector. Similarly, the International Asian Organized Crime Conferences (IAOCC) were originally intended to excite dialogue between all persons having interest in the criminal justice system's response to organized crime in Asia and the Asian emigre communities abroad. This page supports those original purposes. Links are now being loaded to this site as part of the construction process. Please send new links to the webmaster. Inclusion of material on this page does not imply endorsement and/or sponsorship by the institutional or individual membership of IAACI or the IAOCC.
