520 _aThe criminal trade in new synthetic drugs is profitable, sophisticated, dangerous and rapidly expanding. In this article the author examines the transnational link between organised crime groups, and the implications of the expansion of the trade for law enforcement in Asia and Oceania. A transnational, intelligence-led law enforcement response is more likely to be capable of effectively tackling the networks of criminal groups that enable this trade, while a prohibition-based strategy risks leading to increased level of violence in affected states.
