Summary: | 博士 === 中國文化大學 === 政治學系 === 107 === To explore the current severity of crime proliferation regarding telecom fraud , this paper will, with the perspective of global governance, look into the primary dilemma encountered by the public sector, private sector, and the third sector of our country with its implementation strategy in prevention against telecom fraud by our law-enforcement authorities in four major aspects as prevention, investigation, arrest, and. integration What are the tactic, role-play, and cooperation by each of the department as they work to resolve such dilemma? With results obtained, they should help to construct the mechanism of cross-departmental cooperation against telecom fraud and crime prevention strategy so that cooperation measures can be realized in specific terms. As such, this paper will adopt research methods such as situational crime prevention, global governance, and system theory as supplemented by literature analysis, in-depth interviews and case analysis and others so as to view about dilemma encountered by our police when they implement telecom fraud and crime prevention strategies. The main purpose of these efforts is to appreciate possible omissions in current telecom fraud and crime prevention strategy as law-enforcement authorities further consider the necessity and remedial measures to reform telecom fraud and crime prevention strategy so that a specific and feasible model of crime prevention can be established against telecom fraud.
The primary findings of this study are found as follows; first: aspect of prevention: 1) prosecution rate and penalty against fraud cases being low, while the force by the administrative inspection power is lacking, so that they fail to play the role of deterrence, which is considered the psychological inducement of persisting telecom fraud; 2) insufficient funding to carry out publicity against fraud prevention, while measures of advertising methods can hardly attract people to have further understanding about it, and financial institutions do not have joint prevention mechanisms, which are reckoned as the primary reasons that result in the public from insufficient awareness against fraud; 3) lack of joint prevention mechanism, freeze of bank funding , and inquiry of related information are not fast enough and they turn to become a serious gap in telecom fraud prevention; 4) measures in trade supervision are not implemented, with leakage of individual information and loose issuance of prepaid cards and credit card, in addition to network phone and game points, which all have turned out to become tools of fraud crimes and resulted in an cause-effect relationship to fraud crime. Second, aspect of investigation: 1) report clue of suspicious transaction regarding anti-money laundering by financial institutes as well as overseas tampering of phone numbers, which have seriously affected the initiation of investigation against crime of telecom fraud; 2) network high-tech, diversified money laundering, virtual accounts, and graded management by fraud group, which have become the critical elements for collecting crime intelligence as well as interpretation barrier; 3) it is difficult to have obtained permission for monitoring, while investigators are unfamiliar with criminal techniques and criminal tools of the fraud group, leading to bottlenecks in investigation work; 4) differences in legal systems and judicial opinions, legal attributes of cross-strait justice cooperation protocol being unclear, and no direct and official contact has been established between cross-strait police, which are the primary factors that hinder investigation of crime scenes against telecom fraud. Third, .aspect of arrest: 1) because of cross-border crime and fine division of labor, it ends up that suspects arrested are but the middleman, while high-level or core personnel are not. As such, it turns out to be the main reason why crimes of telecomm fraud crimes have "continuously spread" internationally; 2) political factor cross-strait has turned out to be the biggest obstacle against current investigation cracking down on crimes against telecomm fraud. Fourth, aspect of integration: 1) sovereignty, legal procedures, language, social custom, and cross-strait relations have become the crux of barriers to cooperation between investigative agencies in different countries (regions); 2) differences in performance jurisdiction, areas of competent authorities , and difference of pursuit goals are the primary factors that have brought about obstacles to cooperation between different investigative agencies, between different government departments, and between government and the trade
