Wang, Po-Chi associate professor was interviewed by the United Daily News on August 25: News Eye/Severe Punishment The drunk driving has become a public enemy. The Government has continuously increased its criminal responsibility in response to public opinion. However, the number of drunk driving cases is still high. Some scholars believe that heavy punishment can indeed exert deterrent effect, but it is fundamental to deal with the "lucky attitude"; some lawyers have also analyzed In order to reach the limit in the legislation of drunk driving, the law is the last line of defense. If a disaster is made, it will be severely sentenced. The concept of prohibiting drunk driving should be established in the hearts of the people. Wang, Po-Chi, an associate professor at the Department of Criminal Justice at Ming Chuan University, said that the government’s three-and-a-half-declaration and overwhelming propaganda cannot be drunk. The general public has basic understanding, but there are still a few people who may hold a mentality of trying. In the case of Zhu Nan, as a professional driver, it is impossible to refrain from driving after drinking. The training and evaluation of the company will definitely be checked, and it is still his luck to pursue the problem. Wang, Po-Chi pointed out that foreign studies have shown that an increase in sentence power does not necessarily deter crime, because the "intimidation effect" such as severe punishment has to play a role, and the perpetrator is worried about the adverse consequences. The focus remains on prevention of drinking places, law enforcement, etc. Hao Zhongxing, a former lawyer of the procurator, believes that Taiwan’s penalties for drunk driving are not too light, and legislation seems to have reached its limit. The number of drunk driving cases has not been significantly reduced. Even if the law continues to increase the punishment, it will not be able to satisfy the people. Judicial expectations. The last line of defense of the law is always sentenced to death by drunk drivers. It is only necessary to return to the legal system to deeply root the public. Hao suggested that for different types of drunk driving cases, the court should make a more detailed classification in the trial process and then sentence it. Huang Yisan, director of the Luzhu branch with a doctorate in transportation, said that in terms of traffic psychology, although the severe punishment method has a certain deterrent effect, it is still impossible to avoid a few people knowingly committing crimes.
