人口販運──性剝削被害人通報因素之研究

A Study on the Notification Factors of Human Trafficking-Sexual Exploitation Victims

現代社會與經濟環境變遷，加上科技網絡進步，兒童與少年由於身心發展仍未臻成熟，常成為人口販運性剝削之被害者。根據統計數據顯示，歷年來的兒少性剝削通報案件有成長之勢，然而，國內對此議題研究尚且不足，尤缺通報黑數因素的研究，使得整體的人口販賣性剝削犯罪樣貌及預防策略難以瞭解。
本研究挑選桃園市作為研究地點，並透過深度訪談，依訪談對象之通報機制實務經驗，探討不同管道通報數據差異之原因，研究結果發現，通報黑數因素受下列三點影響：各單位性剝削案件通報及統計機制不同步調、加上性剝削案件蒐證不易，影響定罪率，以及人口販運被害者缺乏被害之心態。因此，本文依研究結果，提出對於通報流程機制等建議，讓相關單位對於性剝削預防與合作機制有參考依據。

With fast changes in modern society and economic environments, coupled with the advancement of technological networks, children and adolescents have often become victims of sexual exploitation as they have not reached their maturity of physical and mental developments. According to official statistics, there has been a growing trend in reporting cases of child sexual exploitation over the years. However, domestic research on this topic is still insufficient, especially lacks studies on the dark figure of notifications, hindering our understanding of common features associated with such crime and the development of preventive policies and strategies.
Using Taoyuan City as the research site, this study analyzed data collected from in-depth interviews to report interviewees’ practical experiences with the reporting mechanisms and uncover reasons for variations in data reporting by different channels. This study found that the dark figure of notifications is affected by the following three issues: (1) the differences in case notification and inclusion by each unit, (2) the difficulty of collecting evidence in sexual exploitation cases, and (3) the lack of a victim mentality of children and children. Therefore, based on the study finding, this article puts forward suggestions on the notification process mechanism, so that relevant units can strengthen their prevention and cooperation mechanisms of child sexual exploitation.
