The name most associated with Organised Crime within Hong Kong is the many branches of Chinese underground society and organizations known as the Triads . Triad gang activities are mainly territorial and commonly involve the following types of offences:
Although one of the most famous crime names in the region, the Triads are not the only source of organised crime in Hong Kong. Smuggling (both goods and people), counterfeit goods, corruption and prostitution syndicates are all the result of organised groups operating in the territory. Generally organised crime groups in Hong Kong keep a low profile and many of its most profitable activities do not attract high levels of public outrage e.g. illegal gambling and copyright piracy. As organised crime does not necessarily equate with street crime, it has been said that Hong Kong society can be lulled into a false sense of security. Without high levels of street crime and no great numbers of Mafia-style organised crime syndicates, it has been suggested that the people of Hong Kong, believe that their society is, in law and order terms, healthy and clean, although this may not be the case.
