Nielson ___________ APPROVED: Jurg Gerber, PhD Thesis Director Yan Zhang, PhD Committee Member Furjen Deng, PhD Committee Member Phillip Lyons, PhD Dean, College of Criminal Justice DEDICATION This is dedicated to Amanda, Kenna, and Emmie for their constant love and support through it all. iii ABSTRACT Nielson, Kyler R., Attitudinal differences between female and male police cadets/officers in Taiwan: the nexus between gender, immigration, and crime. Master of Arts (Criminal Justice and Criminology), August, 2020, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. Immigration is an increasingly salient issue throughout the world as the number of foreign residents continues to rise in many countries. In Taiwan, the foreign population has consistently increased in recent years. Immigrants in Taiwan are marginalized and are often subject to negative stereotypes from the media and public. As members of the public, police cadets/officers may be affected by such sentiments, but they should also maintain a neutral perspective and ensure equal treatment in various criminal justice processes. In particular, attitudes may differ based on cadet/officer gender. Males and females may have unique experiences in policing and inherent attitudinal differences.

This study conducted experiments in the Training Facility of the New Taipei City Fire Department (NTFD), Taiwan. The objective of the experiments was to analyze the profile of each firefighter by a 13-factor self-report survey and their wayfinding time in dark and complex environments (DCEs). The results showed that age might be a marginally significant factor, and fear of confinement might be a significant factor that could affect firefighters’ wayfinding time in the DCEs. The findings could provide strategies for improving the safety of Citation: Lin, B.S.-M.; Lin, C.-Y.; firefighters working in such environments.

  • A Community Policing Project in Taiwan
    Chinese Public Administration CPAR Review Volume xx Issue x, Online First A Community Policing Project in Taiwan: The Developments, Challenges, and Prospects of Neighborhood Watch Fei-Lin Chen Taiwan Police College, Taiwan Neighborhood Watch is a community crime prevention program organized mainly by local residents to maintain order and deter crime. Neighborhood Watch is an important element of community policing in Taiwan. Relying on previous research, this study illustrates the implementation process of Neighborhood Watch in Taiwan. Starting in the 1970s, Neighborhood Watch in Taiwan evolved through several stages, shifting from a focus on moral alignment to community building and crime prevention. The central pillar of Neighborhood Watch is civilian patrol groups commonly organized by either the government at all levels as part of their civilian defense scheme or neighborhood patrol squads staffed by local volunteers. The organization and resources associated with Neighborhood Watch elucidate the government’s intention to integrate the program into community policing as an effective tool for building community safety and strengthening crime prevention. It is reasonable to predict that the Taiwanese government and police are likely to continue their support for the operation of Neighborhood Watch as part of collective efforts to build healthy and safe communities. Keywords: Neighborhood Watch; Taiwan police; civilian patrol squads; community policing; Taiwan INTRODUCTION policing in general (Kuo, & Shih, 2018; Wang, 2007) and Neighborhood Watch programs in Taiwan eighborhood Watch has received much in particular (Lee et al., 2000), none of them have attention in recent years due to its crime analyzed the implementation of Neighborhood Watch Nprevention value, which strengthens informal with a focus on policy analysis.

  • How the Sex Industry Market Determines the Distribution Of
    How the Sex Industry Market Determines the Distribution of Smuggling Hot Spots in Taiwan: An Empirical Study of Illegal Immigration of Mainland Chinese Females to Taiwan Wang-Ting Lin and Cathy Tzu-Hsing Chen† Smuggling Mainland Chinese females into Taiwan has been a devastating problem in the past two decades, due to the fact that China and Taiwan are geographically close to each other and the fact that no major differences exist between these two places with respect to language and ethnic composition. The persistent attraction of huge profits resulting from smuggling is mainly responsible for this serious criminal problem. This paper is an extended study of previous research reported at the Annual ANZSOC conference (Chen 2006) where it was shown that, whether voluntary or coerced by Human Snake gangs (ie. criminal organisations responsible for illegally transporting people across borders), a majority of Mainland Chinese females smuggled into Taiwan are involved in the sex industry. The present research project, which continues to build on the key insight of the previous study, indicates that the need for, and supply of, sex industry workers in Taiwan substantively influences the smuggling of females. The focus of this research project is to investigate the co-variation between crime hot spots and the sex industry in Taiwan. We divided Taiwan into four areas - East, West, South and North - and examined the number of female illegal immigrants in these four areas, which encompass both coastal and inland areas. The results show that significant differences exist among these four areas. More specifically, the demands of the sex industry market in an area is positively correlated with the number of illegal immigrant females arrested.

  • Towards Democratic Policing in Taiwan: a Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Police Education on Human Rights, Moral Reasoning
    Towards Democratic Policing in Taiwan: A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Police Education on Human Rights, Moral Reasoning, Prejudice and Receptivity to Evidence- Based Policing Keng-Hui Lin Department of Security and Crime Science University College London This Thesis is submitted in support of a PhD in Security and Crime Science August 2020 1 Declaration of Authorship ‘I, Keng-hui Lin, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' Signed: Date: 2 Towards Democratic Policing in Taiwan and Police Education Abstract This thesis investigates how police socialisation, and in particular police education, influences police recruits in terms of several democratic policing indicators (DPI) and their receptivity to evidence-based policing (EBP). The DPI used here are derived from prior research and theory, namely: 1) human rights endorsement, 2) advanced moral reasoning, and 3) lack of prejudice. To observe temporal changes in DPI and receptivity to EBP, this thesis applies a multiple-group longitudinal design that includes both police recruits and university undergraduates (as a comparison group). This sample takes advantage of the centralised police education system in Taiwan – Central Police University (CPU) – and the fact that there is only one criminology department in Taiwan – National Chung Cheng University (NCCU). The sample used here comprises five cohorts: 1) police officers on in-service programs, 2) graduate recruits in police academy training, 3) new and 4) senior recruits on cadre programs at CPU, and 5) first-year undergraduates at NCCU.
