This study carried out a big data analysis in order to explore the relevance between the behavioral patterns of the offenses against Social Order Maintenance Act and the regions where these offenses occur. Literature review, official secondary data analyses and content analyses served as the approaches for conducting the research. The samples of this study covered the statistics provided by the Criminal Investigation Police Offices and a total of 12,079 rulings made by District Court Summary Divisions in Taiwan. The findings showed that the offenses against social order the police processed mainly included sex trade, gambling and interference with peace and order. On the other hand, most of the cases ruled by District Court Summary Divisions were in relation to carrying destructive weapons or instruments without any justifiable reasons, carrying toy guns that resembled real guns, taking or injecting psychedelic drugs other than narcotics, interfering with public functions, using violence against pedestrians as well as fighting. When we looked into these offenses by regions, the municipalities such as Kaohsiung City, Taichung City and Taipei City showed higher frequencies. The numbers of offenses banned by the police were higher in northern and central Taiwan. Based on the above findings, it is suggested that inspections and checks on the use of psychedelic drugs other than narcotics and monitoring offenses against social order such as sex trade should be strengthened in every police beat. By doing so, it is then possible to prevent these offenders from becoming potential drug abusers and getting involved in human trafficking. The above suggestions are made in this study for related authorities' reference. |
