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:
- General crimes handled by the police department.
- Crimes investigated by the prosecutorial agencies.
- Execution of seizures and community treatment by prosecutorial agencies
- Prison Inmates.
- Overview of selected crime categories.
- Juvenile delinquency and judicial processing.
- Criminal Victimization Trends, Protection and Compensation.
- 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.
