摘要

偵查中的羈押一直是社會關心的問題，也是司法形象中重要的一環，然羈押的結果往往也造成民眾與司法從業人員間的巨大鴻溝。本文試圖從羈押的意義、目的與功能間的關係，探索其間的關聯性，以及彼此間的融合與衝突，尤其於實務上之法條規定與實務操作中，分別從人權與秩序、個人自由與公共利益的立場出發，以宏觀的角度試圖找尋其中的橋梁與互相容忍的可能範圍，並指出要了解羈押的真正意義，仍須由目的與功能的角度一起著手，不可偏廢，亦不宜囿於一端，藉以拉近民眾與專業間的心靈距離，開拓更寬廣的視野，促進社會的和諧。

Custody during investigation has been one of the significant issues of social concern. Its application and practice represent an important part of the image of Justice system. Many of the court detention cases have created huge gaps in conception between people and justice practitioners. This paper will begin to discuss the meaning of custody, its purpose and the relationship among its functions. The paper will try to further explore their dynamic interrelationship and connectivity, and also to identify the specifics of their mutual acceptance or conflict. Specifically, with respect to dealing with the differences between the previsions of law and actual practice in real life, this paper will address other essential elements such as human rights, social order, individual's freedom and public demands. The discussions will try to use a broad enough view to seek for either a possible bridge or a range within which people and justice practitioners can create better mutual acceptance with the defined reasonable tolerance to further enhance social harmony.
