摘要

摘要:对于儿童性虐待的申诉人来说,在证人席上作证往往令人痛苦。基于技术的特殊措施(如CCTV/AV链接)使投诉人能够在法庭外的某个地点提供证据,从而减少投诉人的恐吓,从而提高了他们的证据质量。尽管在过去几十年中,这些措施的实施率有所上升,但人们对使用特殊措施时出现问题的频率和性质知之甚少。在这项研究中,我们系统地对澳大利亚儿童性侵审判的记录进行了编码,以检查(如果有的话)特殊措施的实施在儿童、青少年和成人投诉人中是如何变化的。我们还探讨了在采取特别措施时出现问题的频率,以及这些问题的性质。我们的调查结果显示,所有年龄组的申诉人都经常使用基于技术的措施,但在大多数审判中都出现了使用这些措施的问题。这些结果突出表明,需要对参与实施特别措施的专业人员进行充分培训,并需要为法院配备适当的设备和设施。

An examination of implementation of special measures in child sexual assault trials and the problems that arise
ABSTRACT Giving evidence from the witness stand is often distressing for complainants of child sexual abuse. Technology-based special measures (eg, CCTV/AV link) enable complainants to give evidence from a location outside the courtroom, making the process less intimidating for complainants, which in turn enhances the quality of their evidence. Although the implementation of these measures has increased in prevalence over the preceding decades, little is known about the frequency and nature of problems that arise when special measures are utilised. In this study, we systematically coded transcripts from Australian child sexual assault trials to examine how (if at all) the implementation of special measures varied across child, adolescent and adult complainants. We also explored how often problems arose when special measures were used, and the nature of these problems. Our findings revealed that technology-based measures were regularly used for complainants in all age groups, but problems using these measures arose in the majority of trials. These results highlight the need for adequate training of professionals who are involved in operating special measures, as well as the need to outfit courts with appropriate equipment and facilities.
