摘要

智能障礙者為遭受性侵害的高危險群，然而此類型案件卻容易因智能障礙者的認知與溝通功能低下而不易遭到起訴，本研究旨在探討社政、警政、司法、教育各防治體系處遇智能障礙性侵害被害件時在警政與司法工作所面臨的困境與需求。研究方法採用質性研究法的焦點團體訪談針對52位防治工作人員蒐集資料。研究結果發現針對警政與司法工作，目前防治工作的困境為：(1)智能障礙者的證詞反覆特性影響性侵害防治工作的突破；(2)減述作業未加落實；(3)司法偵訊態度存在迷思；(4)司法偵訊用語不適合智能障礙者的溝通能力；以及(5)智能障礙受害者人權未獲尊重。而其因應的工作需求則為：(1)增加瞭解智能障礙特性的在職訓練；(2)增進偵訊智能障礙者的司法人員態度與環境；(3)加強辦理與參與網絡研習；以及(4)改進司法審理智能障礙被害案件之證據形式。最後文中亦探討了對實務工作的建議。

People with intellectual disabilities are at high-risk of being victims of sexual abuse. However, the cases were not easily prosecuted because of the victims' low communicative function. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the challenges and requirements facing with judiciary professionals when working with sexual abuse victims with intellectual disabilities. This study employed a qualitative method of focus group interviews to collect data from fifty-two interviewees. The results showed the judiciary challenges of working with people with intellectual disability included the followings: (1) Their disabilities rendered them unable to provide reliable evidence for prosecution; (2) The statement reduction for victims must be implemented; (3) The investigatory attitude of case investigators was not fair for the disabled victims; (4) The investigatory language was too difficult for the victims to understand; and (5) The right of victims with intellectual disabilities was not concerned all through the process of investigation. In addition, four requirements toward judiciary system were arrived to prevent more people with intellectual disability from sexual victimization: (1) Improve the in-service training for judiciary professionals about the characteristics of people with intellectual disabilities; (2) Improve the attitude toward victims and environment during investigation; (3) Take importance on the transaction and participation of multidisciplinary team meetings; and (4) Improve the evidence-gathering work when dealing with victims with intellectual disability. Finally, the suggestions toward practices were discussed in this paper.
