[Comprehensive report] Executive Dean Su Zhenchang denounced the lawlessness of the shootings in Tainan and the Kaohsiung ballroom, and "Apple" checked the truth for the people. According to the statistics of common violent crimes in recent years, the number of cases in the country has been gradually increasing year by year. A total of 2 732 cases in 2015 to 24 638 cases last year, a total increase of 3906 cases, Liudu also showed a gradual increase year by year, but experts and the public believe that public order has not deteriorated significantly, and the violent crime pattern is not much different from previous years Instead, there are more and more fraud cases.

Recently, consumers in entertainment venues are fighting with knives, teenagers are making troubles, violent captors are collecting debts, and the proliferation of firearms is endless. People feel that violent crimes are becoming more and more serious. "Apple" is from the "policy statistics inquiry network" of the police department. Identify the data of the four major criminal cases of intimidating money, hurting, impeding freedom, and firearms and guns in the past five years.
Statistics show that the total number of cases of the above four types of violent crimes in the country was 20,732 in 2015, 22,261 in 2016, 22,779 in 2017, 23,980 in the previous year, and 23,638 in the previous year. 3,906 cases have been added in the past 5 years, and the number of cases has indeed increased year by year.

The epidemic has increased unemployment, emotional violence and crime may increase

But public order is better or worse, and people feel differently. Mr. Huang of Taipei City said that Taiwan’s public security has indeed deteriorated. There are more and more cases of shooting and assault, and the prisoners all say that they have mental illness. The law protects the bad guys too much. use!"
University student surnamed Lu said that Taiwan’s law and order has made him feel relieved compared to abroad, and he does not feel worse; Mr. Huang in New Taipei City also believes that law and order is better than before. Everyone used to install iron windows to prevent theft. Now police can be seen everywhere There are fewer thieves than before; Miss Chen also said that there are often police patrols on the road, "I think the security is better."

Wang, Po-Chi associate professor of the Department of Criminal Justice, Ming Chuan University said that this year, due to the impact of Wuhan’s pneumonia epidemic, the unemployment rate has increased, and the situation of emotional violence may increase, but overall, the state of law and order has not deteriorated, which is even better than abroad. . Wang Boqi believes that the types of crimes that people feel are different. In the early years, cases of thieves and locomotives grabbing bags would make the people afraid. However, fraud now causes greater damage to property, but it makes people feel more than killing.

Jui-Lung Cheng, a professor at the Department of Criminology, Chung Cheng University, pointed out that there are two evaluations of public security, one is objective statistical data, but the official data can be technically beautified, some black numbers or the severity of the case may not be highlighted, and the other is As far as the subjective feelings of the public are concerned, according to his personal observation, the state of public security in Taiwan has not deteriorated in recent years.

Jui-Lung Cheng believes that the types of crimes are different now, and there are still bill criminals in the early years. Now they commit adultery and crimes. Later, these two types of criminals are gone, but technology criminals have increased, and drugs are more widespread. This is why the government should pay more attention to it. In order to solve the problem of public security, we cannot rely solely on "removing officials". This will only crack down on the morale of the police and will not be of much help in solving the problem.
