Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to study the situation of transnational crimes, call scams the challenges faced in combating it, and potential solutions for its prevention and suppression. The research employed qualitative methods, including documentary research, non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and a focus group discussion, with a total of 40 participants. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the findings based on criminological theories and global cybersecurity frameworks. The study revealed that call scam was influenced by Thailand’s geopolitical position and that of its neighboring countries. Criminals exploited the legal limitations of different jurisdictions and developed their methods continuously. Major obstacles to prevention and suppression included the limited capacity of Royal Thai Police, weaknesses in legal frameworks and enforcement, and inadequate cooperation between domestic and international organizations. The study proposed 11 preventive and suppressive measures, categorized into urgent and long-term solutions, to address structural issues. Key recommendations included updating relevant laws; Immigration Act, B.E.2522 (1979), Emergency Decree on Measures for the Prevention and Suppression of Technological Crimes, B.E.2566(2023) and Directive of the Royal Thai Police No.182/2566 (2023) to keep pace with evolving technological crimes, enhancing the capacity of the Royal Thai Police, and strengthening international cooperation to combat transnational crimes effectively.
