Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 犯罪學研究所 === 100 === In Taiwan, there’s a large number of cars, and it has almost become a household essential transport. Due to geographical and social factors, the lack of domestic automobile personal parking space, and the auto parts needs of the car repair workshop and used car dealers, resulting in the development of a considerable number of illegal car factories, and disposal of stolen goods smoothing, so car theft is very serious in the early years. The average every day over one hundred cars are stolen.
In order to effectively reduce the incidence of car theft cases, police units have been taken in the past many project of automobile anti-theft measures, and to strengthen the investigation of the stolen vehicle. One of the car anti-theft measures by the National Police Administration announced in 2007, is the “Regulations of specific parts additional anti-theft identification code in passenger cars, small vans, small trucks and heavy motorcycle” , commonly known as auto marking. The regulations mandatory since October 2007, all new vehicles to apply for a license or imported by agents, must be at least fifteen components on additional anti-theft ID code.
In this paper, the concept of rational choice theory, routine activity theory and situational crime prevention as a basis for auto theft information to each branch of the Taoyuan area, explore the effectiveness of the car theft rate and theft clearance rate after Compulsory Automobile mark identification code, and discuss the interest spread and crime may be caused by the transfer situation.
The results showed that the new vehicles with additional anti-theft ID code is indeed caused by the transfer of the subject of crime. Due to the expectations of the thief, so the act of stealing, especially older vehicles with no ID code, resulting in increase the rate of car theft in short-term. But in the long-term, the auto marking does effectively reduce the rate of car theft, and result in greater impact than other anti-theft strategies during the same period. It is noteworthy that this study also found that the auto marking does not help the police car theft clearance rate apparently.
Based on the findings, this study suggests that to prevent car theft should continue to "strengthen the subject matter" and "to reduce the disposal of stolen goods channel" to proceed, and combined with the use of anti-theft devices, the security of the parking areas, and the support of community relationship. Through various measures to discourage thieves motivation, we can achieve the purpose of reducing theft crime.
