由於各國對移民、入出境政策以及相關的管制措施，產生合法移民與入出境的人流，也因而產生非法移民及入出境的情形。而在非法移民當中，「人口販運」之情形是一種極端。人蛇集團在整個偷渡的過程更扮演催化劑的角色，他們為謀取販賣與質押人口的暴利，甚至親自經營色情行業，或配合色情業者需求，強迫賣淫和勞動為目的而販運男、女、及兒童，其規模及人數在大陸地區日益擴大，經營方式及走私手法也不斷創新。並且利用各種場合搜尋適當女性，運用各種方法將其運送來台或至他國，本研究主要是藉由蒐集人蛇集團「人口販運」及「人口走私」之具體個案，以瞭解人蛇集團販運人口之現況，探討兩岸人蛇集團形成的因素及其組織結構與販運流程，研擬防制策略，提出具體可行辦法。 / Because of the immigration policies and related management measures of all the countries, human flows including legal and illegal immigrations are created. Among cases of illegal immigration, “human trafficking” cases are at the extreme. Human smugglers play the role of catalysts in processes of stowing away. They sell humans for huge profits. Some of them even run sex-related businesses by themselves or cooperate with the pornography industry to make male, female, and child stowaways into prostitutes. The number of victims and the scale of these businesses have been growing in Mainland China. And there are more and more creative measures to run business and to smuggling humans. They look for suitable women in all kinds of places and send them to Taiwan or other countries through all kinds of channels. This study aimed to explore the current status of human trafficking by human smuggles and discuss the causes of human smugglers, structures of their organizations, and processes of selling humans through the case study of “human trafficking” and “human smuggling” cases, in order to develop prevention strategies and propose possible workable solutions.
