精神障礙之預防性羈押【本期企劃】 試閱
Preventive Detention of Mental Disorders
刑事被告如因精神障礙，在符合刑法第19條第1項之要件下，應為無罪判決；復依刑事訴訟法第316條，該無罪判決視為「撤銷羈押」。問題是，若被告因其精神狀態而有危害社會安全的疑慮，刑事程序中的預防性羈押制度於此種情況並無法適用。本文借鑑美國法可對此類被告為「預防性拘留」之設計，提出相關立法建議。
When a criminal defendant with a mental disorder is innocent because he meets the requirements of Article 19 of the Criminal Law. According to the provisions of Article 316 of the Criminal Procedure Law, the acquittal is deemed to be withdrawn from custody. But, if the defendant’s mental status may endanger public security, there is no way for the preventive detention system to be applied in this situation.
Therefore, this article attempts to review the relevant provisions of the United States legal system for the preventive detention of defendants with mental disorders in criminal proceedings. Finally, proceeding from the perspective of comparative law, this article will propose legislative proposals in response to the lack of Taiwan criminal justice system.
