精障犯罪者處遇制度與司法精神病院之設立【本期企劃】 試閱
The Treatment System for Criminals With Mental Disorders and the Establishment of Judicial Mental Hospitals
近期發生數起精神病犯重大暴力犯罪事件，讓刑法精神病犯犯罪處遇及抗制問題又浮上檯面；實務上幾則重大矚目精神病犯案件，歷審裁判結果均存在極大落差，往往在有罪、無罪二極端徘徊，而我國刑法教學、國考乃至實務，長期忽視保安處分及保安處分之執行，相關刑事法制存有嚴重疏漏。本文將指出現行刑法相關法制實務上運作缺失，最後則一併針對法務部及衛福部近期著手興建之高度戒護司法精神病院提出具體建議。
Recent incidents of severe violent crimes committed by individuals with mental illness have brought the issue of criminal liability and measures for mentally ill offenders under the Criminal Code back into focus. In practice, several high-profile cases involving mentally ill offenders have revealed significant discrepancies in judicial outcomes across multiple levels of trial, often oscillating between extremes of guilty and not guilty verdicts. Furthermore, the teaching of criminal law, national examinations, and even practical application in Taiwan have long neglected security measures and their enforcement, resulting in serious gaps in the relevant criminal legal framework. This article will highlight the operational deficiencies in the existing legal and practical frameworks of the Criminal Code. Lastly, it will provide several recommendations concerning the recent initiatives by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Health and Welfare to construct high-security forensic psychiatric hospitals.
