abstract: Volume I showed that the Big Circle Boys (BCB) dominated the Canadian heroin market in the 1990s as a mono-ethnic criminal network. However, there was evidence that a heroin drought occurred in the early 2000s in Canada and Australia. Volume II sets out to explore how the BCB succeeded and failed on a granular level based on their operations; the connection between the two droughts and the BCB; and the strategic and theoretical implications on their survival as a collective. Martin Bouchard’s drug market resilience framework is the main theory used and related network structure and properties are examined. A research gap in the paucity of studies on ethnic-Chinese drug traffickers in Western countries is identified. Social network analysis is explained as one of the analytical tools used.
