Abstract

Homicide is considered a crime against the state rather than the covictims, which impacts on criminal justice system (CJS) processes and can lead to secondary victimization. This review explores the experience of co-victims (i.e., family members) engaging with the CJS. Thirty studies met the inclusion criteria and were identified through searching six bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, HMIC, CINAHL, ASSIA, IBSS, and SSCI) and supplementary searches. Two reviewers conducted screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal. Thematic synthesis resulted in three themes: (a) information and meaningful inclusion, (b) who is the justice system for?, and (c) relating to victims as people. These themes highlight concerns regarding the marginalization of co-victims within the CJS and suggest ways to enhance processes to avoid further marginalizing and traumatizing co-victims.

驾驭刑事司法系统：关于凶杀案共同受害者经历的定性证据的系统回顾》。

杀人罪被视为针对国家而非共同受害人的犯罪，这对刑事司法系统（CJS）的程序产生了影响，并可能导致二次受害。本综述探讨了共同受害者（即家庭成员）与刑事司法系统接触的经历。通过检索六个书目数据库（MEDLINE、HMIC、CINAHL、ASSIA、IBSS 和 SSCI）和补充检索，有 30 项研究符合纳入标准。两名审稿人进行了筛选、数据提取和质量评估。专题综述产生了三个主题：(a) 信息和有意义的包容，(b) 司法系统为谁服务，(c) 将受害者视为人。这些主题凸显了对共同受害者在刑事司法系统中被边缘化的担忧，并提出了加强程序以避免共同受害者进一步边缘化和受到创伤的方法。
