中文摘要 | 目的:了解責任能力判斷中實施精神鑑定的現況。方法:選取民國八十七年到民國八十八年,全國二十六所高等法院與地方法院的全部判決(保密性判決除外),經過電腦初步篩選後,共1545例判決,再由人工閱讀,加以紀錄分析。 結果:在選定的880例、曾對被告進行刑事責任能力判斷的判決中,只有297例實際交付精神鑑定;一旦交付鑑定,279例鑑定完全被採納;111例為保護處分。 結論:曾獲精神鑑定者,僅佔犯罪母群體中的0.18%,犯罪類型與過去診斷亦會影響交付鑑定的比率。若以精神鑑定書為司法精神醫學研究材料,需克服代表性與隨機性不足的問題。 |
英文摘要 | Objective: This study evaluated the use of forensic psychiatric assessment in determining criminal responsibility in the Taiwanese legal system. Method: A computerized screening was used to search for cases with criminal defendants tried in district courts and high courts throughout Taiwan between 1998 and 1999. Results: A total of 880 cases were included in the analysis. Only 297 of these cases involved a criminal responsibility judgement process. Only 279 cases involved referral to a psychiatric expert for forensic psychiatric assessment. Only 111 cases had a judgement requiring rehabilitation. However, once a forensic psychiatric assessment had been performed, the courts accepted the expert testimony in 93.94% of the cases. Conclusion: We found that only a small fraction (0.18%) of the criminal cases had forensic psychiatric assessment performed during the process of determining criminal responsibility. The rate of psychiatrist referral in criminal cases also varied by the types of crime and the presence of past mental disorder in the defendant. Therefore, inclusion of only cases containing a forensic psychiatric assessment in the study of forensic evaluation of mental health in Taiwan may result in a sampling bias. |
