婚姻暴力是近年來中外頗為關注的社會問題，美國洛琳娜Lorena的閹夫案，纏訟多時
終獲判無罪的足球明星辛普森Simpson殺妻案，及我國板橋鄧XX殺夫案，都是喧騰一時的
案件，紛紛反映婚姻暴力的嚴重性，也引起社會各界的注意。根據有關的調查與研究，可
以發現我國遭受婚姻暴力的婦女，可能在18％-35％之間；而參閱國內外相關的研究與文
獻，可以發現對於婚姻暴力的防治模式，已由對受暴者和施暴者的個人治療模式，發展為
必須兼顧社會機構處置的社會處遇模式，亦即透過司法、警政、醫療、社會福利等各種資
源解決婚姻暴力。因此，警察與司法系統在婚姻暴力的防治上十分重要，不應受到忽視，
但是國內有關的實證研究卻仍付之闕如。 本研究採用訪談法，共計訪談台北地方法院
、士林法院、板橋法院、桃園地院十五位刑庭與民庭的法官，及台北縣、市警察局所屬分
局與派出所的 四十七位官警。探討警察、司法人員對於婚姻暴力的態度，與警察、司法
系統對於婚姻暴力的回應現況。本研究的結果發現，人口變項的性別、年齡、教育程度等
特質,固然會影響警察與司法人員對婚姻暴力的態度，同時亦受到社會文化和教育訓練兩
個因素的影響。但是執法人員對婚姻暴力的態度並不會直接影響其回應婚姻暴力的行為，
最重要是受到制度因素、機構因素的影響；因此，欲改變警察與司法人員回應婚姻暴力的
作法，應是從制度的改革著手。 最後，根據研究結果提出對法律、司法和警察人員的
建議，作為警察與司法系統回應婚姻暴力的參考。同時提供幾個續後的方向，作為未來相
關研究之參考。
摘要 : Research on the police and Judicial System Respond to Marital Violence Mar
ital violence violence has become an increasingly significant problemwithin ou
r society .Review of marital violence literature has shown that thepolice and
justice system still view marital violence as a civil matter and dolittle to s
top such violence . The intention of this research is to ascertainhow the poli
ce and judicial system respond to conjugal violence. A qualitative design was
implemented using less structured interviews ofpolice officials and judges to
evaulate knowledge of marital violen statutes,atttitudes toward marital viole
nce and methods in handling such cases. It alsorequested the subjects to repor
t his or her demographic characteristicsincluding sex,age ,marital status, len
gth of service and level of education.The sample used to examine this question
consisted of sisty-two participants.Of those, there were forty-seven police o
fficers and fifteeen judges interviewed. Although the study found demographic
variables could explain attitudinaldifference among law enforcement officers,
the social culture, education andtraining in marital violence are the most imp
ortant elements. Stituatioalfactors affecting officers' responses to conjugal
violence but the institutionalcauses such as methods of police and justice org
anization, administrative styleand regulations were most effective police offi
cials' and judges'responses. There were recommendations of three aspects der
ived from the research asfollowing:(1) education and training of judges; (2) e
ducation and training ofpolice officers and (3)legislation should be enacted t
o eliminate the sexualinequality so that the law can fufil in prevention or ab
olition of maritalviolence. A discussion of methodological limtations and futu
