在婦女團體及專家學者的努力下,我國「家庭暴力防治法」終於在1998年5月28日經立法院三讀通過。當中所規定之保護令款項大都交由警察機關執行,由警察人員執行相關的保護令,是否能讓遭受婚姻暴力之婦女不再受暴及遠離施虐者,殊值深入探討。本研究係採質的研究取向,共訪談20人,其中受暴婦女10人,警察人員10人。研究結論可歸納如下: 1.受暴婦女對保護令的觀點,對理性、有法治觀念的相對人,保護令較能發揮保護的目的。 2.遠離暴力的威脅是受暴婦女對保護令的最大期待。 3.受暴婦女期待法院核發保護令的內容能契合她迫切的需要;延長保護令的時效是受暴婦女普遍的期待。 4.警察人員對執行保護令的觀點,認爲勤務繁重、法令不熟悉,增加工作負擔與執行上的困難。 5.對保護令交由警察人員執行之效果,大多數持正面肯定態度。 根據前述研究結果,作者對保護令制度修法部分、法令宣導教育、相對人輔導、治療提出數項建議,以提供立法者、實務工作者、政策制定者及有關單位參考。
Family violence has been ignored by people for a long time because it usually happened in family. Through long-term endeavor of scholars and women organizations, the law of anti-family violence was enacted in 1998. The protective orders issued by court are executed by police officers to keep women away from family violence. The research adopts the qualitative method to analyze the data collected form 10 women under family violence and 10 police officers. The research develops meaningful findings. The research findings are the following: 1. The more rational the criminals are, the more powerful the protective orders are. 2. The biggest wish of attacked women is to be away from family violence, and that makes them try to get more protection from police officers and court. 3. The attacked women have positive impression on protective order. 4. The heavy case burden of police officers will make the protective order hard to be executed. 5. Police officers have positive attitude toward the effect of protective order executed by them. According to the research findings, We propose some suggestions (included the dimensions of law revision, the law promotion, the special counseling and rehabilitation for criminals.) for law makers, policy decision makers and people who work in this fields.
