| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 公共行政暨政策學系碩士在職專班 === 92 === In 1970’s, drug abuse and trafficking were viewed as major threats in the worldwide nations. By the late 1980’s, countries in North America and Europe respectively started to criminalize money laundering, a crucial component in the ‘war on drugs’. To build the network of fighting against money laundering, the G-7, through the United Nations, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development（OECD）, Financial Action Task Force（FATF）, Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering（APG）, and the Egmont Group（Egmont）, semi-compulsorily coerced countries to adopt money laundering counter-measures. Since Taiwan is not a member of the UN, it has difficulty getting access to channels of information exchange with foreign countries, let alone information on policies regarding money laundering counter-measures that have been going on in major countries of the world. The problem has been further compounded by the international political arena which Taiwan has been facing, not to mention the oppression that has come from Mainland China. Nonetheless, Money Laundering Control Act (MLCA) in Taiwan was enacted on April 23, 1997. But the question is whether or not does the revised MLCA that went into effect on August 6, 2003 truly responds to the view of policy stakeholders? This study attempts to analyze policy evaluation to undergo process evaluation and outcome evaluation with regard to money laundering prevention policy, hoping to clarify the issue on the end.
It has been seven years since the implementation of the MLCA in Taiwan. In order to avoid the subjective, arbitrary, and non-comprehensive dilemma reflecting the opinion of the minority generated from the investigative results, this study uses multiple quantitative & qualitative research methods concurrently that cover 1) document analysis; 2) focus group and in-depth interview; and 3) questionnaire research. In order to examine the reliability and validity of the questionnaire scale, 30 policy stakeholders were randomly selected to participate in the pretest. Questionnaire I and questionnaire II showed Cronbach’s alpha of 0.9 and 0.85, indicating that the questionnaire possesses a successful discriminate validity, which allows us to proceed with the following formal survey. Regarding questionnaire I and questionnaire II, the final Cronbach’s alpha reliability of 0.757 and 0.727 indicates that the research has reached a satisfactory level. With regards to the validity analysis of the research, the author employs Factor analysis, which shows a value larger than 0.5, and a factor loading larger than 0.4 for each dimension of the research. On the aspect of investigative research, frequency distribution of unitary and descriptive statistics analysis were conducted. One-way ANOVA of bivalent was used to check whether independent variables and dependent variables possess the outstanding relationship of hypothetical test verification. In the qualitative research, the author conducts an in-depth interview with 14 stakeholders on the basis of investigation results by the document analysis that constructs the policy of money laundering prevention.
Referring to the empirical investigative results of the questionnaire scale, we hope that by virtue of employing dual research methods to widely collect information and using precise and scientific objective analysis methods, to find out the crucial reason so as to verify theory or serve as a basis for revision of the theoretical contents, thereby constructing the anti-money laundering regime in Taiwan, not to mention enhancement of efficiency in suppression of money laundering. In conclusion, the results of this research will provide policy initiatives and recommendations that may be useful to governmental authorities and law enforcement agencies.
