中文摘要:

本文擬由官方犯罪統計資料為基礎，透過空間集群分析選定臺北市住宅竊盜犯罪最嚴重之大安區中，兩處物理環境雷同而住宅竊盜犯罪情形卻差異甚大之相鄰區域。針對由相關文獻歸納之易發生住宅竊盜犯罪環境變項，進行以半結構性訪談為主、實地觀察為輔之田野調查，以瞭解該兩處區域中所散發之（不）易被竊實質環境變項與意象，並比較其中之差異，期以趨近該區域住宅竊盜環境問題之核心。研究結果顯示：雖然研究區域相鄰且具有類似之區位特性，犯罪熱區中卻具有較鄰近區域相對多數之環境弱點與易犯罪機會，如居民區域意識低、防火巷隱密與住宅易侵入等；反之，犯罪冷區中則具備較多不利於犯罪因素或機會，如區域意識高形成領域感、住宅管理良好產生防衛空間等。本研究發現環境差異所造成之機會因素足以影響潛在犯罪者是否選擇從事犯罪之念頭，並對於住宅竊盜犯罪發生具有相當之影響；另政府單位應從犯罪熱區出發，研擬因地制宜之犯罪預防政策，以提升犯罪預防策略之效能。

英文摘要:

Based on official data of residential burglary in Daan District, Taipei City, the study tried to explore the differences of strength and weakness of environmental characteristics for residential burglary in the real crime hot spot and cold spot that are adjacent to each other. By cross-over data analysis of documentary review, and field study of semi-structure interview and observation, the results show that although the two areas are adjacent and with similar environment characteristics, there are several environmental weaknesses which lead to residential burglary in the crime hot spot, such as ”low mutual attention in communities”, ”and easy-to- hidden or invade firebreaks” and so on. However, there are also several environmental strengths which impede residential burglary in crime cold spot and may affect decision-making processes of potential burglars, such as ”high territoriality of dwellers”, ”high anti-burglary defense spaces” and so on. The study discovered that the factor of opportunity caused by differences in environmental characteristics have a great influence on residential burglary rates. Furthermore, from the concept of crime hot spot, we suggest the government should make crime prevention policies that suit local circumstances, in order to strengthen their effectiveness.
