Teacher Wang, Po-Chi was interviewed by UDN: Analysis of four "fraudulent" impeachments in Taiwan Scholars: The suspect was to attract the attention of the masses Scholar Analysis of Four "Fraud" Bombs in Taiwan: Suspected to Attract Public Attention May 18, 2023 20:03 United Daily/Reporter CHEN,CHUN-CHIH /Taoyuan Instant Report Multiple scenic spots and colleges across Taiwan were threatened by "fraudulent" bombs today, and police in various regions were exhausted. Although it was initially determined to be a prank, scholars called for caution and fear, emphasizing that "society cannot afford any terrorist attack". Airport Rapid Transit has faced four intimidation threats this year, including threats of placing explosives at stations and random killings on trains. Central University also received a threatening letter this afternoon, stating that there was a remote-controlled bomb in the girls' dormitory that would detonate at 4 pm. After investigation by the police, no suspected explosives were found, and it is suspected that the suspect is the same person as the intimidation machine, possibly from overseas. Wang, Po-Chi, an Associate Professor, the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan, stated that a common feature of recent threatening letters is their popularity. Suspects are highly likely to be targeted in these places because they would attract attention if threatened, with the aim of attracting public attention and triggering social panic. Wang, Po-Chi said that if the police investigate the intimidation letter from the same person, it is likely to be another prank. However, if it is a different person, it is necessary to worry about whether the recent events have triggered imitation effects and whether other imitation behaviors may occur. Recently, there have been frequent threatening letters. The police are exhausted and have paid a lot of human resources. As a result, nothing has happened. Wang Boqi also said that although "the wolf has come" has been shouted for a long time and no one believes it, it cannot be relaxed. If one time is true, the consequences will be unimaginable. "Society cannot afford any terrorist attack. In addition, due to the recent intimidation of colleges and universities, Wang, Po-Chi suggested that the central authorities establish a universal crisis management SOP. He said that currently, each school has its own crisis management mechanism, but the methods are different. In addition, colleges and universities emphasize campus autonomy, and it is difficult for the police to enter the campus, which may become a resistance to handling such urgent cases. However, from recent intimidation letters, it is not difficult to find commonalities in the content. The central competent authority should establish a set of SOPs that are applicable to all colleges and universities, and also increase the protection of teachers and students.
