The shared experience of Chinese culture and language also helps to accelerate the bilateral interactions and cooperation of its people. However, the downside of this close tie has brought emerging cross-strait crimes and seriously threatened the economic benefits and social stability between Taiwan and Mainland China. Despite determination to fight against crime, both sides of the Taiwan Strait lack of an in-depth exploration on cross-strait crime, which is attributed to cognitive difference in regulations and the attention to Taiwan independence from both sides and the international society. At the time the Mainland devotes to developing economy, a nationwide or cross-strait prevention and control on crime becomes particularly crucial to the Strait Region. In September, 1990, the Red Cross Society from both sides of the Taiwan Strait signed The Kinmen Agreement (in Appendix A), focusing on the issue of repatriating criminals, smugglers or fugitives under Humanism and on the principles of convenience and safety. On April 24th, 2009, the Straits Exchange Foundation (herein referred to as SEF) and the Association for Relations across the Taiwan Straits (herein referred to as ARATS) signed Cross-strait Joint Crime-Fighting and Judicial Mutual Assistance Agreement (in Appendix B) at Nanjing, China. The Agreement entered into force from June 25th, 2009, establishing a judicial cooperation mechanism on investigation, prosecution, trial and execution as well as heralding a new era in cross-strait joint crime-fighting. The research methods involved document analysis and interview survey. Collecting statistics and conducting semi-structured interviews with participated police officers and senior professionals in the field, this study analyzed common principles and on-the-spot experiences in the cross-strait joint crime-fighting. The finding showed the occurrence, victims and the amount of loss from emerging fraud have significantly decreased, yet many problems remain unsolved within the mechanism. The results of this study suggest 1) put aside sovereignty disputes and carry out the agreement; 2) emphasize division work and full-scale communication; 3) hold regular high-level talks and academic activities; 4) strengthen the cross-strait exchanges and keep the channels of communication open; 5) bring the concept of human rights into regulations; 6) negotiate and review crimes in the third places (nations) .
