This information is the English translation of the key statistical analysis in Taiwan's "2024 Crime Situations and Analyses - Crime Trend Reports". It includes the following articles: 

  1. General crimes handled by the police department.
  2. Crimes investigated by the prosecutorial agencies.
  3. Execution of seizures and community treatment by prosecutorial agencies
  4. Prison Inmates.
  5. Overview of selected crime categories.
  6. Juvenile delinquency and judicial processing.
  7. Criminal Victimization Trends, Protection and Compensation.
  8. Key observations on crime trends:
  • Property crime has increased in recent years in Taiwan, the United States, England and Wales, and Japan, while Sweden has shown a decline.
  • Fraud and money laundering have both shown rising case numbers and increasing female involvement; however, the change in statistical definitions in 2024 caused a sharp rise in case numbers, alongside a drop in “dummy accounts”, a surge in “money mules”, and money-laundering admissions exceeding fraud for the first time.
  • Drug-use offences fell sharply during the diversion and treatment policies, and the proportion of deferred prosecution with addiction treatment increased; however, convictions and prison admissions have risen again in the past three years.
  • Stalking and harassment cases show a high non-prosecution rate; in image-based sexual abuse, male victimization is relatively high.
