Research On Child Trafficing Crime In China From The Perspective Of Geography

China has a long history of trafficking in children.It is a serious crime and a complex social phenomenon.It has serious and irreversible harm to abducted children,their own families,or the buyer and even society.However,due to the complexity of trafficking crimes and the serious lack of official data and cases,there have been slow progresses in related research.There is no systematic study on child trafficing Crime in China.Crime geography is a study of crimes from a spatial perspective.By studying the spatial distribution of elements in the process of crimes,the mechanism of the formation of crimes can be clearly defined and the role of comprehensive research can be assumed.Therefore,this paper adopts the concept of combining spatial econometric analysis with qualitative analysis as the basic research orientation.Through the exploration of spatio-temporal information and the multi-faceted interpretation of the textual information of successful cases of abducted children,combined with multi-source data,the temporal and spatial distribution and path network characteristics of the Chinese phenomenon of trafficking in children are analyzed.It also conducted in-depth research on the places where crimes occurred,victims,offenders and buyers,and comprehensively applied "push-pull" theory,daily activities theory,and rational choice theory to explore the space-time behavior pattern and evolution mechanism of kidnapping for children in China.Based on this,put forward specific prevention and control suggestions.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)Time characteristics: On the inter-annual changes,the crime of kidnapping for children in China was subject to fluctuating changes.The rise and fall of crimes was highly related to family planning policies,trafficking laws and policies and public security departments' crackdown.Within two years of change,the occurrence of crime has a certain relationship with the temperature and the season.The amount of crime is significantly higher in the summer and half of the year than in the winter.(2)Spatial distribution: From the outturn point of view,the first and second grades of hotspot provinces are Sichuan,Guizhou,Yunnan,Chongqing,and Guangdong.The first grades of hotspot cities are Guiyang,Chongqing,and Zunyi;from the perspective of the transfer,Fujian,Henan,Hebei is the province of the first ladder buyer;Fujian Province's Quanzhou,Putian,Sanming,Hebei,Hebei,Xinxiang,Henan,etc.are more than a turn into the city.(3)Characteristics of criminal geographic networks: The provincial network and the municipal network are typical core-edge networks.There is asymmetry in the out-of-the-road situation,and the network structure of the city area is looser than that of the province.For provincial connections,the core diffusion nodes are Sichuan,Guizhou,Chongqing and Yunnan.The core agglomeration nodes are Henan,Shandong,Anhui,and Fujian.In terms of city-to-city linkages,the core diffusion nodes are Chongqing,Guiyang,Mianyang,and Zunyi,and the core aggregation nodes are Quanzhou,Putian,Handan,Sanming,and Xuzhou.(4)Spatial structure and crime flow: a.From a nationwide perspective,there are the characteristics of "outflow from the west and turning into the east" and "concentration of abduction,decentralization and transference" and the spatial pattern of "one source and two sinks".b.From the perspective of urban-rural mobility,trafficking criminals are driven by the dual-direction push-pull effect of abduction and abandoning into the land.The main bodies of abducted children flow from the backwardness of the security environment,the lack of child custody,and the pressure on the rural areas to raise the pressure on the law.Weak concept,serious Chongyang ideology,strong adoption of rural needs.c.High-risk path pairs: Between provinces,Guizhou-Fujian sells first-grade routes,Guangdong,Fujian and Henan provinces have severe intra-trafficking;inter-city Guiyang-Putian,Guiyang-Quanzhou and Zunyi-Quanzhou are the first-class routes for trafficking,Chongqing,Quanzhou,and Nanyang had serious internal trafficking.(5)Forming three mechanisms: the macro-transition mechanism under the "push-pull" theoretical perspective,the four types of micro-criminal patterns of abduction from the perspective of daily activity theory,and the crime occurrence mechanism from the perspective of rational choice theory.The irreconcilable tension at the macro level is the direct and decisive force for crimes.It also analyzes the multi-scale analysis of the mechanism of child trafficking crimes in China and proposes measures for prevention and control from the macro,meso,and micro perspectives.
