Teacher Wang, Po-Chii was interviewed by CTS News: 2023 Safe Country and City Ranking Taiwan and North City all rank third In 2023, Taiwan and Beishi ranked third in terms of safe country and city Report by HUANG,PEI-HUA, LIN,CHIH-CHUN /Taipei The database website dedicated to evaluating the global crime index published the ranking of security and crime index of countries in 2023. Taiwan ranks third in 142 countries and regions in the world. However, according to the results of last year's survey released by the Crime Research Center of Chung Cheng University, although Taiwanese people are as satisfied as 70% or 80% with community homes and police maintenance of public order, they have no confidence in the overall public order. Scholars from the Department of Crime Prevention and Control explained that during the investigation, 88 shootings in Tainan and three deaths in Cambodia in Taiwan will affect the results of the investigation. They stressed that the government should cooperate with other departments to maintain public security, not rely on the police alone. Taiwan's 80000 police force, wiring, ambush and reloading, not only crack down on crime, but also densify the patrol network and improve the rate of seeing police, which is to hope that people's lives can be more secure. But last year's Tainan police killings and 88 shootings repeatedly challenged public rights. According to the investigation and research released by the Crime Research Center of Chung Zheng University last year, the public felt that their homes and neighborhoods were very safe, and they were very sure of the police's efforts to maintain public order, but they did not have confidence in the overall public order. Such a gap may be related to major cases. Wang Boqi, an Associate Professor of the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan University, said, "When there are some major criminal cases, ask the public immediately if you think such a public security situation is good. Maybe the public will immediately think of it. For example, some major events that may have occurred the previous two days, whether it is a shooting case or a case in all aspects, we will say that this is a live effect." The research data also shows that more than half of the people are not satisfied with the government's actions in public security, and are not satisfied with the strengthening of the safety net and the effectiveness of fraud prevention and control at the present stage, but they are very interested in the strong drug control of the police, which may be attributed to the long-term dedicated efforts. Legislative Councilor You Yulan said: "There are so many loopholes that have not been properly checked from the source, and personal resources are constantly leaked. Of course, for the police, it is a matter of seeking fish from a tree, which will make them exhausted." Although the police manpower, duty content and service scope have been continuously revised in a rolling manner, whether they have been used in the cutting edge may be the crux that the central and local governments should face up to.
