"This report is the first report in Taiwan to synthesize the official data of crime victimization and victim services from 2011 to 2020. There were seven sections: crime victimization trend, criminal justice protection, child and juvenile victims, victimization of specific groups (i.e., females, elders, and foreigners), legal amendment and prospects for victims’rights, discussion of restorative justice and child protection issues, and suggestions.Data were collected from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Judicial Yuan, National Police Agency, Statistics of Justice, Agency of Corrections, and Association for Victims Support. Key findings were summarized as follows.1.The overall crime victimization rate per 100,000 population declined, including violent and property crime victimization. But, victimization of fraud, cybercrime, and general injury did not move downward.2.As for domestic violence incidents, the notification rate per 100,000 population showed that the non-intimate relationship cases increased, in particular among the cases of child/juvenile protection and elder abuse.3.Regarding the victim protection services in the criminal justice system, the most frequent cases in the police were domestic violence, including restraining order petition and enforcement, in the prosecution agency were the acceptance and review of victim compensation and subsidy, in the court were the acceptance and grants of restraining orders, in the correction institution were processing the victims’written opinion statement in the parole review, approximately 137-212 cases per year.4.In terms of the victimization of minority groups, the number of foreigner victims as well as child/juvenile victims did not significantly increase. Despites the recent great change to recognize varieties of child/juvenile abuse, physical abuse remained the most to both boys and girls. Moreover, among the victims of sexual exploitation of children and juveniles during 2017-2020, those filmed or made objects for sexual intercourse or obscene behavior were the most and of which, the most were learned from the police duty reports.5.The crime victimization rate per 100,000 population among females has approximately dropped by 1/4 during 2011-2020. It is noted that in 2020, the number of female victims of sexual violence and the number of notified victims of sexual assault contrasted the declining trend over the years, and as opposed to 2019, each number of victims increased by 24.2% and 12.89%, respectively.6.According to the statistics of the Association for Victims Support, the number of people on file was between 7,000 and 9,000 each year (1/6 were new cases), the average number of service days were 3 years and 7 months, and the most service recipients were females.On grounds of the experiences of this data collection and analysis, several suggestions were provided. The prominent and compelling feature is to refine statistics. For example, it is essential to distinguish the statistics of crime victimization“incidents”from“cases”, to re-attribute the age group in response to the aging society, to disclose the statistical practice and information on human trafficking, sexual harassment, and similar special law cases, to effectively grasp the status of fraud, cybercrime, and emerging crime victimization, as well as to prepare feasible and futuristic statistical practice for the revision of Crime Victim Protection Law and legislation of Anti-Harassment and Stalking Law. Lastly, it is suggested that victim survey is indispensable, and more resources and efforts should be devoted to restorative justice and child/juvenile protection practices in order to advance the nation-wide crime victim protection policies." |
