On May 13, USIP hosted a conversation on rapidly spreading, industrial-scale scam compounds in Southeast Asia. Drawing from USIP’s recent senior study group report on the topic, the discussion illuminated how far-reaching criminal networks have been able to adapt to regional conditions and escape the constraints of law enforcement — as well as how policymakers can counter their malign effects.
