在民國七十六年十一月二日政府正式開放大陸探親後，兩岸人民往來逐漸頻繁，隨著兩岸人民的交流，對一群隨國民政府來臺的老榮民而言，此再回故鄉距離國民政府撤退大陸已經近四十餘年。兩岸從一九七０年代末期以來，在經濟與社會各方面交流日趨密切與頻繁，在開放探親後，雖屬同文同種，但在兩岸間文化、生活、語言上之差異，兩岸通婚人數逐年增加，從以往的偷渡犯罪，漸變為合法入境而產生另一種犯罪模式的轉變，所衍生各種犯罪問題亦日趨增加，其對國內安全議題影響亦逐漸擴大。 當前影響國家安全之因素，主要有國際環境、兩岸關係與國內形勢等三個面向，除傳統性安全的武力威脅外，許多非傳統性威脅亦逐漸增加，例如：大陸地區人民偷渡來臺、假結婚真賣淫、人口販運、毒品、走私、兩岸組織犯罪、傳染病等問題，均實值得做深入探討與研究，這些問題均對國內社會環境造成變化，增加維持社會治安與社會秩序的內政成本。 全球化的趨勢，在不影響國家安全的前提下，建構兩岸合作打擊犯罪之機制，實刻不容緩，臺灣應儘速尋求兩岸合作之可行模式，本文共分為幾部分，先經由政府對大陸政策實施迄今與執行層面做檢視與探討為出發點，並輔以對探親、結婚及近來討論開放觀光等議題和相關法令做全盤、統整性之分析。再來就相關犯罪所衍生之問題，在移民機關及警察機關間之協調聯繫和在執法上遇到之困境做分析，最後，本研究就合法來臺之大陸人民犯罪問題為研究主軸，並就相關問題提出個人之看法與建議，希能提供就國家安全機制上更完整之參考。 / The Republic of China launched an open policy for people to go abroad to China and visit with their relatives on November 2, 1987, thus the relationship between cross-straits becomes closer and closer since then. To those veterans who followed the Kuomintang government’s move to Taiwan in 1949, it has been almost 40-year- separation for them to make a return voyage. Moreover, since the end of 1970s, the interactions between Taiwan and China have become closer and more frequent in all aspects of economics and society. After the said policy, although the cultural, living, and language difference still exists, the numbers of intermarriage mountain up year by year. As a result, the crime pattern has gradually changed from previous illegal immigration to legal entering but crime enhancing. The crime pattern transformation derives more and more homeland security problems. Nowadays, the factors of influence upon homeland security are mainly related to international environment, cross-strait relationship and domestic situation. Except China’s traditional threat of force to Taiwan, gradually, much other kinds of untraditional threat arise, such as human smuggling, prostitution under the disguise of marriage, drug trafficking, cross-strait organization crime, infectious diseases and etc. Not only do the aforementioned issues influence local social environment but also increase the cost both of social security and public order. Under the trend of globalization, accordingly, there is an eager need for Taiwan to establish possible crime-fighting corporate system with China without influencing Taiwan’s homeland security. The purpose of this study is three-fold. First, based on Taiwan’s “China policy”, this study examines and reviews the policy implementation and effects, then further discusses and analyzes comprehensive issues and related regulations, like relatives visiting, intermarriage, and opening Taiwan to mainland tourism which topic has recently been discussed enthusiastically. Second, aiming at criminal derivatives, this study discusses the difficult situation for said policy communication and implementation between the Competent Authority of immigration, National Immigration Agency and Police Department when dealing with related crime. Finally, focusing on the crime issues of people who enter Taiwan legally from China, this study tends to launch a policy suggestion for reference as setting up a well-designed homeland security system.

“Area restriction” is the umbrella term used for this thesis to consider geography-based, individually- assigned orders issued by criminal justice agents to remove and restrict targets from particular city spaces. This research focuses on 13 Canadian cities that use arrest-and-release area restriction strategies to managing street sex work(ers). Despite heavy criticism for their punitive nature, area restrictions have received little academic attention. This project takes an exploratory and descriptive approach to the issue in order to develop a platform for future research. Using qualitative, non-experimental methods it also critically analyzes the implementation, logic and reported impacts of the strategies while drawing implications for how area restrictions relate to citizenship statuses of sex workers by mapping exclusions onto the city. Multiple data sources were included but the most significant and compelling information comes from interviews with police officers and community agency workers. Findings suggest that area restriction strategies contribute to substantial social divides between sex workers and other community members, but also between sex workers and important services, resources and their community. At the same time, the strategy is reported as a “temporary relief” measure that is ineffective at lessening sex trade activity and often leads to displacement and dispersal of sex work(ers). However, collaborative efforts in some cities show promise for achieving goals of ‘helping sex workers off the street.’ Realistic recommendations for area restriction strategies are made that lead to more inclusive approaches that are considerate of needs and concerns of all interest groups linked to the “prostitution problem.”

Ce mémoire vise à explorer les manières dont les discours autour de la sexualité furent créés et comment ils ont circulé dans les médias québécois suite à la décision de la Cour suprême du Canada en décembre 2013 de réviser les articles de loi en matière de prostitution (Canada (Procureur général) c. Bedford, 2013 CSC 72). En mobilisant une analyse de discours tout en puisant dans la théorie féministe afin de conceptualiser la sexualité en ce qui concerne les systèmes de classes sexuelles et de dynamiques sexuelles, l’analyse suivante aborde des discours rivaux dans un cadre temporel qui suit l'invalidation des lois jusqu'au dépôt du projet de loi C-36 présenté par le Parti conservateur. Les discours déployés dans les médias et les systèmes de régulation qu’ils entraînent (voix privilégiées, couverture orientée, débats encadrés etc.) aident à mettre de l’avant certaines idées autour de la sexualité tout en les normalisant. Par l’entremise de nombreux sujets sociaux (des politicien-nes, des groupes de femmes, des universitaires, des femmes prostituées et des avocat-es), les discours rivaux articulés autour de la morale et du choix en matière de sexualité ont nourri un débat public construit sur un antagonisme semblable à celui exprimé lors des sex wars féministes. Ce mémoire comprend ces discours encadrés au sein du débat sur la prostitution comme étant constitutifs dans la compréhension des systèmes actuels de sexualité et de classes sexuelles. / This thesis aims to explore how discourses around sexuality were created and circulated in the Québec media following the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision to strike down the prostitution laws in December 2013 (Canada (Attorney General) v. Bedford, 2013 SCC 72). Using discourse analysis and drawing on feminist theory in order to conceptualize sexuality in regards to sex class systems and sexual dynamics, the thesis addresses rival discourses in a time frame that follows the striking down of the laws up until when Bill C-36 was introduced by the Conservative government. Media discourses and the regulating systems that they entail (privileged voices, oriented coverage, framed debates etc.) all help create certain ideas around sexuality whilst simultaneously normalizing them. With the input of numerous social agents (politicians, women’s groups, academics, prostituted women and lawyers), the rival discourses set around morality and choice in sexuality fed a public debate built on a similar antagonism to that of the feminist “sex wars”. This thesis understands these discourses framed within the debate of prostitution as constitutive of current understandings of sexuality and sex class systems.

The thesis deals with the prostitution and its casual links to both moral and legislation matters. In this context, it focuses on recent efforts to legalize prostitution in the Czech Republic. The thesis starts with a brief treatise concerning an image of the prostitution as a phenomena, including a few possible reasons for getting involved in it. Thereafter, the thesis addresses a human sexuality and standards, which, through their application in practice, have an influence on our perception of this phenomena. This is also linked to the way we are proceeding to regulate prostitution, and why. The following chapter shows linkages to prostitution-related criminality, in which the majority of standards are broken. The point of this chapter lies in the fact that there is a real necessity for action, longed for by society, in order to regulate this field and to ensure both legal- and practice-wise protection to all threatened categories of people. This thesis also includes a chapter on current legal regulation of prostitution and its legalization in the Czech Republic. It covers various matters, e.g. how to take preventive measures against the crime in question; how to protect prostitutes, their clients or even a society; and how to comply with all these three parties' wishes in the most favourable...

When the United States entered World War II, federal officials began planning a war on prostitution and decided to make New Orleans the poster city for reform. New Orleans held a reputation for being a destination for prostitution tin the U.S. A federally appointed group aptly named the Social Protection Division began a repression campaign in militarily dense areas throughout the United States. The goal was to protect soldiers by eliminating the threat from venereal disease carrying prostitutes. The Social Protection Division created a campaign with the New Orleans Health Department and the New Orleans Police Department to repression prostitution. Some in New Orleans, however, tried to undermine these efforts and continue the profitable tradition of prostitution. From 1942-1945, New Orleans became part of the internal war waged by the federal government against women deemed sexually dangerous to protect the patriotic male soldier being sent off to war.
