Teacher Wang, Po-Chi was interviewed by CTS: Can I use the heavy code to prevent drunk driving in troubled times from the world? 2022/02/15 23:34 Comprehensive Report / Taipei City Almost every drunk driving accident will cause a family tragedy, but in Taiwan, there are people who are not afraid of fines and repeat offenses. Let's see how countries in the world do. In California, repeat offenders involved in drunk driving may not only be convicted of "second-degree murder", but also sentenced to 15 years to life imprisonment. In Singapore, repeat offenders of drunk driving not only have doubled their sentences, but are also punished with whipping. Is "heavy punishment in troubled times" really useful? In the "Different Languages" unit of China Television News, criminology expert Wang Boqi is invited to analyze it for you. Hello everyone, viewers and friends, welcome to watch today's different languages. I am Wang, Po-Chi from the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan University. In fact, the problem of drunk driving in Taiwan has always emerged one after another. In fact, we have also seen it in the past. Including some well-known entertainers, or some important political figures, or some public figures, there may be some drunk driving, and even ordinary folks have some drinking and driving conditions, and it actually causes very serious problems. Very serious consequences, leading to the fragmentation of several families. In fact, we can’t help but want to ask, that is, in the past, we often talked about that before the amendment of the new law that hit the road on January 30, someone actually mentioned that the problem of drunk driving in Taiwan seems to be more relevant than the related penalties or related foreign countries. The punishment is lighter, is it really like this? There are also some people who have done some research in Taiwan because of such a situation. They also support the practice of "using a heavy code in troubled times", but what we want to discuss is whether we really use a heavy code in a troubled time, and whether such a heavy code or a situation where we use heavy punishment can be true. Let's reduce our drinking and driving problems. We also want to know how to deal with the problem of drinking and driving in various countries in the world. If the audience has been to Japan, they probably know that some Japanese supermarkets have a system. If you try them When you are drinking, you will see this drinker, he will ask you to fill in a document first, and after filling in the information, he will let you know that he may keep looking at you, and he will not let you drive if you drink. , even when you leave the supermarket, he will stare at whether you are driving, such a situation, this is the situation in Japan. We will also find in other countries, and there are related situations in the United States. That is to say, especially in some states in the United States, he will mark the license plate number of a person who has drunk driving again, for example, Saying it might be a Z means saying that he is a repeat offender of drunk driving. Let's take a look at the situation in the whole world of drunk driving. Let's take Singapore as an example. In the part of drunk driving, it is actually divided into first offense, second offense and casualties. If he is a In the case of the first offense, he will be sentenced to 6 months in prison, plus 5,000 U.S. dollars. Even if it is a second offense, his sentence will be doubled. If it is said that he causes casualties, a special whipping will be added. . In California, in fact, if you say that these people who have been convicted of drunk driving and re-offending, he may be convicted of second-degree murder, and again, just talking about Japan, their road-related laws and regulations have mentioned that if When they say they have drunk driving, they will be sentenced to imprisonment for less than 5 years, or a fine of less than 1 million yen, or about NTD 240,000, especially if the situation that Taiwan is doing now, it may start to implement the like Law. In some cases, our joint sitting method also refers to the practice of Japan, that is, his passengers who are sitting together may have some punishments, so this is probably to explain to the audience and friends, that is, in fact, the penalties of various countries, This is roughly the case, so probably the whole situation is like this. I think we'll look at it another way, that is, the use of heavy codes in troubled times. In fact, in our criminology and economic theories, rational choice theory is mentioned, which means that we often mention the theory of rational choice. , is it worth the crime? If I am today, I may have done this kind of behavior, but I will be punished more severely. Maybe I will not engage in this kind of behavior, and it will achieve the effect of intimidation, but I think In such a theory, or such a premise, it is based on saying that they are probably all rationally chosen people, that is to say, they are our ordinary people. Maybe because of drinking, he may have some impulses, and the control is not so good, so if we use things like chaotic times and heavy punishments, we blindly increase punishments, whether we can really achieve our work in the prevention and control of drunk driving. I think what we want to do is to say, in addition to the improvement of some punishments, the intervention of some public health is actually very important, because in fact we see that we are seeing some related repeat offenders Among them, in fact, among such repeat offenders, about 70% of them have alcohol addiction. If we can add some public health facilities, and even some related prevention measures, including saying that maybe when we are driving, he installs them. App, if it is said that his shaking is relatively severe, it may notify our relevant departments, so that he may do some actions to stop the inspection, so it should be relatively OK for the prevention and control of drunk driving, the above is today's program , thank you for watching today's language is different.
