聋哑人,作为社会的一个特殊群体,过去一直很少为世人所了解。但是,近年来,聋哑人犯罪却呈逐年上升的趋势。1991年至1993年,我院仅受理聋哑人犯罪案件1件,1994年到1995年两年中,受理7件,而今年1—5月则已受理了3件。从已受理的11件案件中,可以看出聋哑人犯罪有以下四个特点:一、财产型犯罪占绝大多数。这11件案件全部为盗窃案件,作案的主要目标是针对各类钱财。除1件是被告人骗取受害人钥匙入室盗窃外,均是在商场、火车(汽车)站、公交车等公共场所,人多拥挤时乘人不备扒窃或拎包。二、团伙作案占相当比例。在已受理的11起案件中,团伙作案有4起,其中4人和3人团伙各2起。团伙成员有男有女,主要来自同一地区,具有相对稳定性。作案时有简单分工,多为1至3人掩护,1人下手,得手后迅速逃离现场。三、跨地区流窜作案比例较大。在11起案件涉及的21名被告中,有7名来自徐州地区,其余13名分别 Deaf and mute, as a special group of society, have rarely been known to the world in the past.

Except for 1 case, the defendant cheated the victim’s key to burglary, all in shopping malls, train stations, buses and other public places. Second, the gang committed a considerable proportion of crimes. Among the 11 cases that have been accepted, there have been 4 gang crimes, of which 2 are for 4-person and 3-person gangs.
