摘要

近年來，臺灣精神障礙犯罪或在案件審理時，以精神狀況為由，於法庭抗辯者頻仍；而長期以來，精神障礙犯罪者到底是否仍有教化可能性，是最受爭辯問題之一，尤其是判決死刑之案件衝擊著教化更生的矛盾；綜觀重大刑事犯罪，法院最終判決具精神障礙者之被告，涉犯殺人無罪，但應接受監護宣告之強制治療，此又掀起朝野、社會輿論對國內監護制度妥適性之高度關注；基此，本文從社會重大矚目刑事案件，以判決實證方式探討死刑與教化可能性間之爭議，及是否過於偏重教化可能性之關懷，而間接忽略同等重要之其他考量因素，或有意將其列為次要之量刑參考，無論在刑事政策或刑事實務操作上，均不無再思酌之餘地，值得吾等賡續探討及關注。

In recent years, there have been numerous cases in which mental disorders have committed crimes or defended in court on the grounds of their mental condition during case trials in Taiwan. For a long time, whether persons with mental disorders still have the possibility of rehabilitation has been one of the most controversial questions. Especially in the case of death sentence, it impacts the contradiction of rehabilitation. Looking at major criminal offences, the court finally ruled that a defendant with a mental disorder was not guilty of committing a murder, but he should receive compulsory treatment by custodial protection. This has raised high attention from all parties on the appropriateness of custodial protection. Based on this, this article discusses the controversy between the death penalty and the possibility of rehabilitation from the criminal cases that are of major social concern, and whether it is too focused on the possibility of rehabilitation, and indirectly ignores other equally important considerations, or intentionally listed as a secondary sentencing reference. Regardless of the criminal policy or criminal practice, there are situations for reconsideration, which deserve our continued discussion and attention.
