Abstract

Extensive evidence shows that repeat victimization is common and widespread, but studies on the prevalence of repeat victimization in Asia are limited. This study examines the extent and patterns of repeat and near-repeat burglary victimization in Taiwan using both 2015 Taiwan Area Victimization Survey data and police recorded burglary data. Results indicated that: (1) burglaries against the same household in Taiwan are highly concentrated (with the top 10% most burgled households making up around 30% of reported victimizations), more so than is often found in many Western countries; (2) the risk of (repeat) burglary is not consistently spread over space and time, particularly within the 100-m range of an initial burglary incident; and (3) the levels of near repeat burglaries identified in this study are notably lower than was observed in prior studies both in China and in many western countries. The findings highlight the value of developing prevention strategies specifically targeting repeat burglary victimization.

台湾地区重复和近重复入室盗窃案

大量证据表明，重复受害现象普遍存在，但对亚洲地区重复受害现象的研究有限。本研究利用2015年台湾地区入室盗窃受害调查资料及警方记录的入室盗窃资料，探讨台湾地区入室盗窃受害的程度及模式。结果显示:(1)台湾的入室盗窃案高度集中(入室盗窃案最多的前10%的家庭约占报告受害人数的30%)，比许多西方国家的情况更常见;(2)(重复)入室盗窃的风险在空间和时间上的分布不一致，特别是在首次入室盗窃事件的100米范围内;(3)本研究中发现的近重复盗窃的水平明显低于之前在中国和许多西方国家的研究。研究结果强调了针对重复入室盗窃受害者制定预防策略的价值。
