That year, his use of the phrase "black power" at a rally in Mississippi grabbed the nation's attention.” Bettmann/Corbis ​ Return to Materials and Media Master List “You’ve Got to Work For Power”: The Rise of the Black Power Movement in SNCC By Bonnie Belshe Brief narrative: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was created, in part, because of the success of students sit-ins to desegregate lunch counters starting in Greensboro, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee. Following the advice of Ella Baker, SNCC was formed independent of other civil rights organizations, particularly that of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and Martin Luther King, Jr. Inspired by Baker and the Reverend James Lawson, SNCC was formed in 1960 to reflect the growth of students in the civil rights movement. SNCC was an integrated student-run organization. After a series of relative successes--most notably the Birmingham Movement led by Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights, and the Childrens’ March--leaders within the Civil Rights Movement wanted to hold a March on Washington in support of the proposed Civil Rights Act that was stalled in Congress in 1963.

  • Perceptions of Governmental and Nongovernmental Actors of Human Trafficking Victims: the Case of Vietnam
    IJCJ&SD 10(2) 2021 ISSN 2202-8005 Perceptions of Governmental and Nongovernmental Actors of Human Trafficking Victims: The Case of Vietnam Oanh Nguyen and Toi Le People's Police Academy, Vietnam Abstract This article explores how governmental and nongovernmental actors perceive victims of human trafficking in Vietnam. This research utilises a qualitative design, drawing on data from 30 in-depth interviews with police officials from eight study sites and two nongovernmental organisations. Findings identify that some victims of human trafficking do not fit the traditional victim images of this crime, including trafficked men for sex tourism, forced labour, organ removal, sex workers, migrants in search of seasonal employment and girls with high education levels. Implications for policies and practice are suggested from these findings. Keywords Victims; human trafficking; police; nongovernmental organisations; Vietnam.

  • Wildlife Crime in Vietnam
    SGOC STUDYING GROUP ON ORGANISED CRIME https://sgocnet.org “Going Down the Glocal”: Wildlife Crime in Vietnam Original article “Going Down the Glocal”: Wildlife Crime in Vietnam Mary Alice Young* Abstract: The prevailing attitude of global law enforcement authorities combined with media hyperbole perpetuates the assumption that the illegal wildlife trade has a synchronic relationship with organised crime and additionally generates huge profits for the individuals involved. However, there is little to suggest that at the local level, the rhino horn trade in Vietnam constitutes organised criminal behaviour. Borrowing its title from Hobbs (1998) analytical work, which focused on the local rather than the transnational dimension of organised crime, the purpose of this paper is to examine whether the illegal wildlife trade, and specifically, the rhino horn trade in Vietnam, meet the criteria of organised crime set out under existing international and domestic legal frameworks. Supplemental interview data indicates that the illegal wildlife trade in Vietnam is largely inhabited by informal participants who rely on the profits for subsistence; thereby lacking the formal organisation required by international legal definitions of organised crime. The conclusions drawn from the research challenge the assumption that wildlife crime at the local level in Vietnam is organised crime. The author stresses that the context of locality of the rhino horn trade has to form the basis of future policy making decisions if this destructive trade is to be effectively curbed. Keywords: Vietnam – Rhino horn – International Law – Subsistence – Organised Crime – Money laundering – Poaching * Mary Alice Young is an expert on financial secrecy jurisdictions & their interaction with transnational organized crime.

  • Criminal Law Policy on Environmental Crimes in Context of Sustainable Development in Vietnam
    E3S Web of Conferences 175, 14004 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202017514004 INTERAGROMASH 2020 Criminal law policy on environmental crimes in context of sustainable development in Vietnam Thi Mai Dinh1,*, and Dinh Luan Nguyen2 1Graduate Academy of Social Sciences, Nguyen Trai Street, No. 477, Thanh Xuan District, Ha Noi, 10000, Vietnam 2Economic Security Department, Ha Tinh Police Department, Ha Tinh province, 45000, Vietnam Abstract. Balancing between economic growth and environmental protection is the core of sustainable development. However, both developed and developing countries are facing many difficulties in dealing with global challenges such as climate change, pollution and resource shortage. In an effort to promote environmental protection and legislate punishment, environmental crimes have been included in criminal law. In order to increase its effectiveness, criminal law on environmental crimes need to be further specified, such as identification of environmental offences, inclusion of new offences, expansion of scope of application, increase on fine, and supplement existing sanctions for environmental offences. These changes can bring tremendous impacts on Vietnam’s sustainable development in the near future. 1 Introduction In recent years, the application of criminal law in the field of environmental protection has achieved positive results, but has revealed many difficulties and obstacles. Acts of violating environmental laws, especially those with signs of criminal offences, have increased in quantity and complexity. Environmental crimes in Vietnam are most common in the following areas: - In industrial production. Vietnam’s open door policy and investment attraction incentive policies have attracted local and foreign investors. However, many of industrial projects in Vietnam have taken advantages of gaps in existing environmental regulations to neglect waste management.

The ACS Unit cannot recommend a particular individual or establishment and assumes no responsibility for the quality of services provided.

Please review OSAC’s Vietnam-specific webpage for proprietary analytical reports, Consular Messages, and contact information. Crime Threats Although most travelers feel relatively safe, pickpocketing and petty crimes occur in Vietnam quite frequently. Petty theft, purse snatching, and pickpocketing are most common in crowded areas frequented by foreigners (major hotels, tourist sites, airports, public parks). Beware of street children. One common method of purse snatching employs two people on a motorcycle with the passenger snatching the victim’s bag, camera, cellular phone, etc., often while traveling at the same speed or faster than street traffic. This method can be especially dangerous to victims if the straps of the bag are over the shoulder or around the neck, as the victim can be pulled down or dragged by the strap until it breaks. This is an ongoing, often dangerous trend. In some cases, a knife or other sharp cutting instrument is used to cut the strap or to make a hole to reach in and steal valuables. Avoid carrying handbags. In general, the safety and security of guest rooms in quality hotels is adequate.
