摘要

目的基于犯罪脚本方法，本研究的主要目的是确定加拿大魁北克省枪支贩运的步骤。我们的分析重点是枪支贩运过程中每个步骤的参与者所采取的行动、有利条件、障碍和错误。方法利用魁北克省警察局提供的 1996 年至 2020 年期间进行的 76 份调查档案进行了演绎式主题分析，以建立枪支贩运脚本。结果枪支贩运包括六个步骤：(1) 准备；(2) 获取枪支；(3) 储存枪支；(4) 寻找客户；(5) 交易；(6) 退出。由于每个步骤都可以通过不同的行动来完成，因此共有 1200 种行动组合可用于贩运枪支。结果还表明，在脚本的不同步骤中涉及多个参与者，如供应商、中间商和销售商。不受管制的工具（如液压机、模具）、材料和部件（如钢板、枪管）为私人枪支的制造提供了便利，而在社交媒体上发布枪支广告则是一些嫌疑人犯下的错误。犯罪脚本分析也被证明是一种有用的方法，可用于预测潜在的犯罪转移、规划计划评估和实施，以及确定涉及多个机构的预防措施的优先次序。

1200 paths and counting: A script analysis of firearms trafficking in the Province of Quebec, Canada

Purpose

Based on the crime script approach, the main objective of this study was to identify steps involved in firearms trafficking in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Our analysis focused on actions performed by actors, facilitating conditions, obstacles and errors for each step of the firearms trafficking process.

Method

A deductive thematic analysis was conducted to build the firearms trafficking script with 76 investigation files, conducted between 1996 and 2020, that were provided by the Quebec State Police.

Results

Firearms trafficking included six steps: (1) preparation; (2) acquisition of firearms; (3) storage of firearms; (4) search for customers; (5) transaction; and (6) exit. Since each step can be completed with different actions, a total 1200 combinations of actions could be used to traffic firearms. Results also indicated that several actors were involved at different steps of the script such as suppliers, middlemen, and vendors. Unregulated tools (e.g., hydraulic press, mold), materials and components (e.g., steel sheets, barrels) facilitated the fabrication of private firearms, while advertising firearms on social media was an error made by some suspects.

Conclusion

The dynamic and sequential nature of firearms trafficking was highlighted by our script analysis. Crime script analysis also proved to be a useful approach to predict potential crime displacement, plan program evaluation and implementation, and prioritize prevention measures involving multiple agencies.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
