中國販毒團夥的組織特徵和犯罪模式

ORGANIZATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND OFFENDING PATTERNS OF CHINESE DRUG TRAFFICKING GROUPS

目前，我國對於販毒團夥的組織結構和犯罪模式的研究十分有限，本文試圖彌補這個領域的不足。通過對中國若干省份高級人民法院和中級人民法院宣判的144個販毒團夥的關係網進行分析，發現中國大多數販毒團夥都是小規模的，而且沒有嚴格的等級架構。研究結果表明，販毒團夥的販毒活動與該團夥的組織特徵具特定的關聯性。具體 而言，販毒團夥成員的居住國家密度與該販毒團夥是否從事跨境毒品走私相關；販毒團夥成員教育水平的差異與犯罪數量正相關；販毒團夥裡男性的密度及就業率的高低與犯罪數量負相關。另外，罪犯來自不同省份或國家的團夥販賣毒品的數量多於罪犯來自同一地理位置的團夥。

Limited research has examined the relationship between network structure and offending patterns among drug trafficking groups. The current study is an attempt to fill this gap. Through a network analysis of 144 drug trafficking groups adjudicated in the intermediate and high courts in several provinces of China, this study found that most Chinese drug trafficking groups were small and without a formal hierarchical role structure. Findings also related network characteristics to trafficking activities involved by the groups. Specifically, group density in the country of residence positively predicted cross-border drug smuggling. Density in education increased domestic drug trafficking while densities in gender and occupation decreased this offense. Moreover, groups composed of offenders from different provinces or countries trafficked greater amount of drugs than those formed by offenders from the same geographic area.
