自2006年刑法修正以來,在新聞傳播媒體幾次新聞事件中,凸顯了刑罰並未達到遏止某些罪刑的再犯,及對社會危害之程度。本研究主要探討短期自由刑受刑人選擇入監服刑、易科罰金或易服社會勞動之影響因素。本文研究樣本為北部地區某監獄,受刑人、受刑人親友以及司法矯正人員,總計有404位受訪人經由網路及紙本問卷進行調查雙軌並進蒐集資料,本研究用敘述統計、獨立樣本t檢定及單因子變異數分析,判別不同背景變數受訪者在面臨選擇入監服刑、易科罰金或易服社會勞動上的差異性。 根據研究結果得到以下結論:受刑人經濟收入高低確實影響選擇易刑處分,因無法選擇以替代處分執行只有入監一途,顯示整體經濟環境活絡收入較高選擇以替代處分執行相對較高,因此得以緩解矯正機關超額收容的問題,而經濟收入高低對於我國主要犯罪類型的累(再)犯率並未呈現正相關。 故本文建議在制度面部分(一)替代處分執行方式應建置完善公開且透明之準則 (二) 仿效國外實施易刑處分前置評估與後續輔導機制。在社會面部分(一) 提升整體經濟環境 (二) 杜絕賦歸社會的不良標籤。在矯正機關執刑面部分(一) 減少矯正機關過多且不必要的活動 (二) 增補矯正管理員額 (三) 各監所專業輔導員額提高(四) 降低各種政治因素干擾。
Since the amendment of criminal law in 2006, through several news events revealing, not only some certain crime recidivism but the harm to the society has not been curbed by the penalty. This study mainly discusses the factors affecting the short-term punishment inmates when choosing the prison imprisonment, the fine or the community service penalty. Sampling a prison in the northern Taiwan, there are a total of 404 respondents including inmates, inmates’ relatives and Judicial Correction officials. The data collection is through Internet and paper questionnaire. Narrative statistics and T-test and ANOVA on the analysis of independent samples are carried out to distinguish the respondents from different backgrounds in facing choices into prison, imprisonment fines or community service. According to the research results, the following conclusions are obtained. An inmate’s financial condition inflences the choice into convert imprisonment. The result being into the prison instead of convert imprisonment, indicates a fact that the better financial condition an inmate is in, the higher rate he/she will choose convert imprisonment. And upon that, the overload of prison is eased. However, an inmate’s financial condition shows no positive correlation to the recidivism rate. Therefore in the system aspect, the following suggestions are proposed: 1.A transparent and comprehensive criteria of the implementation of alternative penalty should be established. 2.A pre-assessment and follow-up counseling mechanism should be set up imitating the implementation of foreign alternative punishment. In the social aspect: 1. The promotion of the overall economic environment should be emphasized. 2. Inferior social label tagged should be curbed. In the aspect of the penalty implementation of correctional institutions: 1. The reduction of unnecessary business should be carried out. 2. The recruitment of correctional administrators should be practiced. 3. The number of professional counsellors in each institution should be increased. 4. Political interference should be excluded.
