[Father of iron police sorrow and death] Who will comfort the family members of the victim?
In the police killing case at Chiayi Station, police officer Li Chenghan, father Li Zengwen, died of illness on the 4th. Since the case, the couple surnamed Li ran around for the son’s lawsuit, hoping to see the murderer who killed his son get the due sanctions as soon as possible. Knowing the verdict of innocence on April 30, his father reluctantly said "too outrageous!", and he suddenly vomited blood and died after 36 days. With this news, I thought deeply about how the current judicial and social and political systems can comfort the survivors of the criminal victims.
1. Unjust judicial justice
When the murder happened, the family members suddenly heard that the beloved family member was suddenly killed. The shock, disappointment, anxiety, anxiety, helplessness, etc. suffered by his heart, the impact was so great that immediate psychological assistance was urgently needed. Family members often focus on the handling of criminal cases, such as case notification, arrest of suspects, criminal investigation, investigation, trial procedures, and execution of imprisonment, but they often ignore their own psychological needs or have no sense of illness, so that they face In an unfriendly judicial process, when the result of the judgment does not meet the high expectations of the family, the moment of collapse of the heart and the disintegration of the defense will easily lead to a tendency to self-injury or hurt others due to judicial despair.
2. Weak family support system
The current family structure is dominated by small families, with about 3-4 family members. Once a major criminal case is encountered, the family member’s support system is relatively weak, and the family members who are mainly responsible for the follow-up judicial process are middle-aged ( 40-59) Most of them are old; and because the victims are mostly male, women’s families need to provide legal, psychological and economic assistance.
3. Lack of social network connection
Whenever major social attention occurs, there will be a lot of social resources to intervene and assist in the early stage. This phenomenon not only causes family members to be at a loss, but also makes it easier for family members to withstand mental pressure. On the other hand, about half a year after the incident, the number of caring units is gradually decreasing, but it makes family members feel forgotten by the society and feel isolated and helpless. Therefore, social welfare units should have a case management mechanism to provide a grading and care frequency service network, classify and classify the diverse and complex needs of caseworkers, comprehensively assess the needs, set up treatment plans and connect related service networks. To provide timely and long-term service network for family members.
4. Strengthen the positioning of the victim's family in justice
Although, on December 10, 2019, the "criminal victim litigation participation system" was passed, the prosecutor was expressly authorized to transfer the case to mediation during the investigation and the court during the trial; or upon the request of the defendant and the victim, refer to the appropriate agency, Institutions or groups to repair. According to this, is the prosthetic justice currently promoted by the Ministry of Legal Affairs, and can the apology of the perpetrator actually heal the hurt of the victim's family? Its effectiveness is still to be evaluated. However, the role of the victim’s family in the court is not as good as that of a witness. They cannot claim evidence, cannot directly interview witnesses, experts or defendants, and cannot independently appeal. The various restrictions make family members feel powerless, Incompetence, unable to provide justice for the victim, and his inner depression, seriously affecting the physical and mental health.
5. Conclusion
When a criminal victim case occurs, the family members of the criminal victim hope that the police can act immediately, arrest the offender, collect evidence, and find witnesses, etc., and also look forward to the criminal justice system to provide justice, find out the truth, severely punish the perpetrators, and get the due due Damage compensation. Therefore, when the case enters the judicial process, the family members of the crime victims need judicial personnel to provide more information about the case processing situation, progress and follow-up procedures, and hope that the relevant social welfare unit can provide the necessary legal support, information, referral and Continuous assistance, and can strengthen judicial progress to soothe the psychology of the victim's family.
