　　本研究旨在探討男女涉入毒品犯罪之因素，以此發展男女毒品犯罪者之犯罪路徑。藉由了解影響男女性施用毒品之內外在因素、施用毒品歷程及未來持續或中止毒品犯罪之因素，進而分析、比較在不同階段中影響男女施用毒品的原因，本研究採用質性研究法，以訪談方式蒐集研究資料，研究對象為台灣某監獄及女子監獄之毒品犯罪者，共有八位男性受訪者及七位女性受訪者參與訪談，透過其經驗分享來了解個人與外在環境的互動關係，探討毒品犯罪行為發展，最後，以男女之預期性觀點討論影響其未來中止犯罪的因素。 研究結果顯示初次使用毒品的因素，男女論及與個人好奇心態、不良社交網絡有關，受到同儕影響並伴隨個人好奇心，因而嘗試用毒，而男性提及在社交網絡用毒是種合群的表現、亦有在毒品認知不足的情況下而嘗試用毒，少數女性論及原生家庭與工作環境的影響，且有為了減肥而接觸毒品。 在施用毒品歷程中，男女性普遍有毒品類型進階或轉換的情形，在此階段男女皆論及與個人好奇心態、不良社交網絡及毒品性質的互補而開始嘗試其他毒品類型，此階段男女差異之處在於少數男性有販毒試貨的需求及身體受傷止痛的用途而接觸其他毒品；在女性方面則有來自伴侶的影響，因而有轉換毒品的情形。在持續施用毒品階段，男女受訪者論述內容大致相同，持續用毒原因在於身心癮需求、不良社交網絡及以用毒做為自我療癒的情形，性別差異僅在於男性論及當時未有戒毒動機，部分男性更提及因後續有徒刑欲執行，所以在入獄前並未有戒毒之念頭而繼續施用毒品。 在潛在持續或中止犯罪的議題，涵蓋個人改變與外在環境的正面影響，主要有四個因素影響潛在中止毒品犯罪的路徑，分別為「個人改變」、「重要他人影響」、「來自矯正、社福組織與宗教的影響」以及「自我實現之目標」，在此階段中，性別差異為男性在重要他人中論及伴侶的重要性，女性則無，且僅有一名女性談論來自宗教的正向影響。透過以上議題討論，發現男女毒品犯罪路徑有些微之差異，並在本研究結果上，提出相關未來研究及實務政策面的討論與建議。

● English Abstract:

     The purpose of this study is to compare the causes and pathways to crime between men and women who were convicted with drug offenses. Analyzing data from in-depth interviews with 8 male and 7 female inmates from two prisons in Taiwan, this study aims to understand the different pathways into crime between men and women. It also explores the possible reasons that lead to their desistance after incarceration. The findings indicate that there are some differences between men’s and women’s pathways into crime. The reasons why they began to use illicit drugs included personal curiosity and the influence of delinquent peers. Some of the male interviewees mentioned that they used illicit drugs at social gatherings, and they were unaware of the harms caused by illicit drugs. A small portion of the female interviewees mentioned that they started using drugs because of the influences of family and working environments. Some of them used illicit drugs to lose weights. Escalation of drug use was mentioned by both of male and female interviewees. Both male and female interviewees attributed drug escalation to curiosity, negative social networks, and the nature of drugs. A small number of men tested drugs for the purpose of selling drugs. Some of them self-medicated for physical injuries. Some women mentioned the influence of their partners. The common reasons for continued use of illicit drugs included physical and psychological dependence, adverse social networks, and self-medication. In comparison with female interviewees, fewer male interviewees had the motives to rehabilitate. There are four main factors that affect the cessation of their drug use behavior: "personal change", "important social relationship", "the role of correction institutes, social welfare organizations, and religion", and "self-actualization." There are some gender differences. Some of the male interviewees mentioned the importance of partners, but not for female interviewees. Among the interviewees, only one woman talked about the influence of religion. Policy implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
