Seeing People Experiencing Homelessness in Dummy-Account Fraud Cases ft. Do You A Flavor × Homeless Taiwan Association

After the JRF's dummy-account fraud forum at the end of August, we received a great deal of feedback. The most important reminder was that the persistence of dummy-account fraud is not only a problem of the justice system. To understand people who are deceived into handing over bank accounts-and low-level cash couriers who become involved in fraud-we also have to understand the complex social conditions in which they live.

Dummy-account cases can involve many different groups. People experiencing homelessness are one group that repeatedly encounters these problems in the justice system.

We invited Ho Chia-Hsiang, a social worker with Homeless Taiwan Association, and Wu Yen-Te, a co-founder of Do You A Flavor, an organization working to challenge stigma toward people in poverty. They will share what they have observed about people experiencing homelessness before those individuals enter the justice system through dummy-account cases and help us understand the social conditions they face.

Poverty is one of the oldest subjects of social-work practice. Different periods and communities define, judge, and respond to poverty in different ways and confront different challenges. Poverty is never only about poverty; looking at poverty also reveals the society around it. We invite you to join us in sharing what we have seen.
