Theft cases in colleges and universities refer to cases in which college students are targeted and their property is stolen by secret means. Theft is a common crime in colleges and universities, and its harm is self-evident. Today, we focus on the dormitory of college students, and briefly introduce the manifestations, basic characteristics and preventive measures of theft cases in colleges and universities, in order to improve the awareness of prevention of college students, especially freshmen, strengthen the custody of their own property, and not give criminals an opportunity to reduce theft cases and avoid property losses.

(B) the main forms of theft cases in colleges and universities

1, internal theft-refers to the theft committed by criminals against students' internal staff and school internal management service personnel. According to relevant statistics, more than half of the theft cases in colleges and universities are internal theft cases. Criminals often use their familiarity with the theft target to find the best time to commit crimes, so it is easy to succeed. Such cases are concealed and disguised.

2. External theft-as opposed to internal theft, refers to the theft of social personnel outside the school by thieves inside the school. They take advantage of the loopholes in school management, pretend to be school personnel or enter the campus to steal school assets or teachers and students' property in the name of finding someone. Such people often carry tools when committing crimes, such as screwdrivers, pliers and plastic inserts. And ruthless when committing crimes.

3, internal and external collusion theft-that is, the internal staff of the school colluded with the social personnel outside the school to carry out theft in the school. The internal subjects of such cases have complex social relations and have certain interests with external personnel, and often form gangs to form a one-stop train of theft, transportation and sales. For example, Nie Mou, a college student, met Cai Mou, an unemployed young man around the school, and soon became good friends. One day, Cai asked Nie if there was any way to make money. Nie said that bicycles in his school were easy to make and promised to sell bicycles at low prices among his classmates. Cai was certainly happy and reached an agreement soon. Cai also found Guo in another school not far away in the same way. The three of them acted at once. In three days, Nie got eight bicycles and gave them to Cai, who then gave them to Nie. The five bicycles transferred by Guo were sold. Within a few days, two schools were disrupted, which caused the victims to live inconveniently and be extremely excited.

(C) the main characteristics of theft cases in colleges and universities

General theft cases have the following similarities: (1) the spying process with premeditated preparation before theft; The scene of theft usually leaves traces, fingerprints, footprints, physical evidence and so on. Theft means and methods are often habitual; There are stolen money to find. Due to the particularity of objective places and criminal subjects, theft cases in colleges and universities also have the following characteristics:

1, time selectivity. In order to reduce the risk of illegal crimes, perpetrators often fully consider the time of committing crimes, so most of their time of committing crimes is stealing in the open area of the crime site.

Class time. Students focus on learning, and the daily curriculum is very tight. Most students who haven't attended classes also go to the library to study or engage in extracurricular activities. Therefore, during classes, especially during the first and second classes in the morning, the dormitory is generally empty. Thieves are generally very aware of this law and seize this time to commit crimes. So this period is the peak period for foreign thieves to commit crimes.

Rest time. The rest time is only 10 minute. Students usually go out of the classroom after class, and few students go back to the dormitory. Criminals, especially thieves, will take this opportunity to go back to class after the theft, giving people the illusion that they have no time to commit crimes.

After a deep sleep at night. After a day's study and activities, everyone is tired, and the school usually has a prescribed time to turn off the lights, so they fall asleep soon after going to bed. Thieves take advantage of the dead of night when indoor personnel are asleep, especially when students sleep without closing dormitory doors and windows, which creates favorable conditions for thieves.

When freshmen enter school. When freshmen first enter school, because they are unfamiliar with each other and have poor awareness of prevention, occasionally strangers come to the dormitory, thinking that they are acquaintances of fellow villagers or classmates, and they are not questioned, which gives criminals an opportunity.

Others include military training and large-scale activities organized by the school. And there are few students in the dormitory, which is easy to be stolen; When emergencies occur and are handled on campus, people tend to focus on one point and have no time to care about others. Thieves often take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters.

2, the accuracy of the target. In college theft cases, especially internal theft cases, the perpetrator's theft target is more accurate. Because everyone lives and studies in the same space every day, there is no vigilance among classmates, things are left casually, and valuables are not locked in the cupboard, which makes it easy for criminals to steal.

3. Technical information. In the case of theft in colleges and universities, there are many people with special subjects and high IQ, some of whom are college students themselves. In the process of theft, the technology is highly used, and the self-made crime tools are unique and advanced, and their theft skills are obviously higher than those of ordinary thieves.

4. Continuity of crime. After "winning the first battle", criminals often take chances, coupled with the delay in reporting and solving cases, criminals are prone to commit crimes repeatedly, forming a certain continuity.

5. There are various means. Thieves often choose more favorable means of committing crimes according to different environments and places in order to obtain greater benefits.

(1) Theft-refers to criminals who take money and things left on desks, chairs and beds for themselves when people are unprepared.

(2) Take advantage of the situation-refers to the criminals who commit theft while the owner is away and the door and drawer are unlocked. Compared with shoplifting, its means are more vicious, its appetite for stealing is greater and its losses are often heavier.

(3) Fishing outside the window-refers to criminals using bamboo poles, wire and other tools to hook indoor clothes, purses, etc. out of the window or balcony, and some even use the hooked key to open the door for burglary.

(4) Breaking the window into the house-refers to criminals breaking into the house through the window by using facilities such as building water pipes. Perpetrators often leave the gate in public after stealing money and goods.

5] pry open the door and twist the lock-it means that criminals use special tools to pry open the lock on the door or forcibly twist it to break into houses, and then pry open drawers and cabinets in the same way. This is the main method used by foreign thieves. They are ruthless and don't let go of anything of value.

[6] Stealing passwords-refers to the actor deliberately obtaining passwords of others' passbooks and credit cards, waiting for an opportunity to steal bank cash. This technique is more common in internal theft cases, and more roommates or "friends" with good relationships commit crimes. For example, Li, a college student, reported that her 3,800 yuan deposit in China Construction Bank was stolen 3,700 yuan. After investigation, the suspect was identified as Gui. Gui and Li live in the same dormitory and usually have a good relationship. In the process of going to the bank to withdraw money, Gui, who had the heart, remembered Li's credit card password, so he waited for an opportunity to commit a crime and succeeded.

6. Complexity of motivation.

(1) Pursuing pleasure and showing off-this kind of crime accounts for the vast majority of college students' internal theft cases. A few students are influenced by values such as "money first", so that they are greedy for money, forget righteousness, covet vanity and do whatever it takes. Compared with pleasure, I have no worries about food and clothing, spend money like water, and steal with bad ideas over time, so that money can come quickly, save trouble and effort, and I can continue to show off.

(2) There is no source of economic overdraft-a few students have poor economic conditions, plus large expenses and high debts, and there is no new financial support. What do we do? In the end, individual students only commit theft and gradually move towards the abyss of crime.

(3) seeking revenge to vent personal anger-the perpetrators of this theft are only out of revenge for others or for the collective. Some of them are out of abnormal unbalanced psychology, and they don't like rich classmates to spend money to steal generously. Some of them steal his money and things because they have other contradictions with their classmates, which destroys their pleasure.

(4) Psychopathic pervert-this kind of behavior person is psychologically twisted and abnormal, suffering from theft addiction, and stealing is only for psychological satisfaction and addiction.

(D) The main methods of university thieves

The main target of thieves entering the house is cash, including passbook and draft; Followed by high-value portable items such as mobile phones, computer mainframes, walkmen and cameras; Third, high-value clothes. When thieves enter a room, they often open drawers first, then cabinets, and then turn over mattresses and pillows. Sophisticated thieves often search for cash in pillows, mattresses and drawers quickly, carefully and accurately, but they can't escape their "poisonous hands".

Once the thief is found, his main escape tactics are: 1. Deception, saying that he is looking for someone. If the classmates believe it and don't seriously cross-examine, they will muddle through. This situation often happens when freshmen report for duty or students start school or have a holiday. The second is to escape, and only one or two people find that they have not formed an encirclement trend and run away immediately. This situation often happens when the school holds large-scale activities or classes. Third, mix, some criminals can't escape for a while because they steal things in the dormitory. They often escape from the sight of discoverers, hide in toilets, balconies, stair corners, etc., and then leave calmly. This kind of situation often happens when students leave class or a large number of students return to school. The fourth is begging, pretending to be pitiful, and asking him (her) to go. The fifth is fierce and desperate, threatening to take out the murder weapon. Although this kind of situation does not happen often, when catching thieves, students should be prepared for this move to prevent accidents.

(5) Preventive measures for theft cases in colleges and universities.

1, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and improve self-prevention awareness. The general anti-theft methods are manned defense, physical defense and technical defense. Among them, "civil air defense" is the only reliable and effective means to prevent theft. For college students, it is not only a personal matter, but also a major concern of all teachers and students. Only when everyone is involved can theft be effectively controlled and prevented. In fact, most of the theft cases around college students are due to their weak awareness of prevention, and they do not pay attention to keeping their belongings, giving thieves an opportunity. In daily life, college students should strengthen the cultivation of safety awareness from the following links to improve their anti-theft ability. First, don't leave a lot of cash lying around at will. You should deposit it in the nearest bank and handle the encryption business at the same time. Passbooks are stored separately from seals, passwords and ID cards. It is best not to use your birthday, mobile phone or home phone number and student number as the password of passbook or credit card, in case others find it and steal it. Second, valuables, such as mobile phones, instant translators, cameras and so on. It should be locked when not in use to prevent shoplifters from stealing it. Third, don't be afraid of trouble, close the window and lock the door. The fourth is to take care of each other, often ask questions and pay attention to strangers. Fifth, actively participate in safety responsibilities and safeguard collective interests.

2. Abide by discipline and implement school safety regulations. In order to create a safe learning environment, the relevant departments of the school have formulated relevant management systems to regulate everyone's daily behavior. However, for their own personal convenience, some students often disregard school discipline and violate regulations, resulting in property losses for themselves and everyone. First, you can't stay overnight. There are many examples of college students being stolen because they live in dormitories illegally, and we should learn from them. In daily life, it is normal for classmates, fellow villagers and friends to visit, but some students don't know the visitors very well. Out of affection, they would rather violate the relevant regulations of the school than do anything that hurts their friends and fellow villagers. Loyalty in Jianghu is not desirable. Visitors can't leave the school for the time being, and there is a guest house around the school. In case the guests want to live in the dormitory, they should also report to the relevant departments and go through the relevant registration procedures. This should be the normal polite behavior of college students. The second is to take good care of public property and protect doors, windows and indoor facilities in good condition. Some students broke the lock to open the door in order to save trouble, and some students damaged the wardrobe and desk. These public properties were not repaired after being damaged, which made the dormitory doors and cabinets useless and did not play any role in protecting property.

3. Improve self-cultivation and develop good living habits. According to the investigation and study, the thief's desire to steal is generally tempted and stimulated by the object of theft in many cases, and the bad habits in our daily life provide opportunities for thieves. If a large amount of cash appears in front of people intentionally or unintentionally, and expensive jukeboxes, cameras and walkmen are left indoors at will, these are the reasons that are prone to theft, so strengthening the custody of one's own property is an effective way to reduce theft. First, pay attention to unity, get along well with others and form an atmosphere of mutual assistance. Second, make friends carefully, overcome brotherhood, make fewer fair-weather friends, prevent the wolf from entering the room, and even become an accomplice of thieves. Therefore, college students should be extra cautious and polish their eyes in the process of making friends, so as not to leave lifelong regrets.

(six) the way to deal with theft cases.

1, protect the scene and report the case in time. Don't panic in case of theft. You should quickly organize the personnel present to protect the scene and report to the school security department in time. Be sure not to rummage through the closet first to check what you have lost, otherwise it will destroy the relevant trace material evidence at the scene, which is not conducive to investigation and evidence collection.

2, found suspicious circumstances, timely control. If you find suspicious people, you must be calm and take the initiative to ask. Once their answers are found to be in doubt, we should try our best to stabilize them, organize students to contain them when necessary, and report to the relevant departments in time to prevent thieves and dogs from jumping over the wall and hurting people. When you can't catch the thief on the spot, you should remember the characteristics of the thief, including age, gender, height, fat and thin, appearance, clothing, accent, behavior habits, wearing jewelry and so on. Provide clues for the public security department to solve the case.

3. Report the loss in time and cooperate with the investigation. If you find your passbook stolen, you should report it to the bank as soon as possible. Informed personnel should actively cooperate with the investigation and evidence collection work of the public security department, and some people take the attitude of being irrelevant, hanging high and unwilling to talk more about the case; Some people are afraid to provide relevant information when the investigators ask, for fear of retaliation from others, and for fear of affecting the relationship between classmates. These are all wrong, which bring many difficulties to the investigation and solve the case, and often delay the best opportunity to solve the case, so that criminals can continue to go unpunished and harm others.
