| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 犯罪學研究所 === 103 === Since July 2009 Ürümqi riots in Xinjiang took place, the frequency and scale of violent terrorist incidents in China has increased sharply. Especially in 2014, there was at at least as one large-scale violent terrorist crime caused heavy casualties occurred per month, which posed serious threats to the country's development and stability. Analysis on the Chinese violent terrorist incidents in recent years points out the charactristics including the gradually increasing scale, the spread-out toward the whole country and the selected time-sensitive crimes. What’s more, besides the provocation to the regime and the dissatisfaction of the minority policy reflected by these events, there are more disputes involving China’s persecution on human rights and religions, all making the violent terrorist crimes in Xinjiang get an extraordinary status among the international public opinion. However, once the victims have turned perpetrators, using innocent people’s lives as tools of claiming political pursuits or giving vent to anger and desperation, no matter how noble their motives were, how compassionate their circumstances are, they all have been defined as "terrorists" and are difficult to obtain public recognition. However, with the background of the Chinese government’s long-term repression and crackdown toward dissidents or ethnic minority, the authority can hardly absolve itself from the blam for the current situation. If this vicious circle can not be alleviated, or the Hans and the Ürümqis can’t find ways to effectively communicate in the coming future, it is afraid that the violent terrorist attacks China will face shall continue to grow, and even become more aggravated. Since then, the irreparable situation will be difficult to make up even with the large amount of repair policies.
This research aims to analyze the current situation, China’s anti-terrorism and minority policies, and the characteristics of violent terrorist crimes in Xinjiang, combined with the perspective and theories of criminology, to infer the possible causes behind the incidents, and to let the general public gain a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding for the violent terrorist incidents in Xinjiang.
