三年前新北市發生校園割頸案,引發社會對於少年事件處理法及被害人權益保障的廣泛討論與批評。
新北市校園割頸案受害學生楊承勳的父母,上月痛批「少年事件處理法」為「惡法」,行政院會今天通過「少年事件處理法」修正草案,增訂重大案件被害人訴訟參與制度,並將重大刑案少年假釋門檻提高至二分之一。楊承勳的父親晚間發表聲明,肯定政府跨出改革第一步,但主張五年以上重大犯罪量刑應重新檢討、前案塗銷應更嚴格,呼籲立院召開公聽會建立完善司法制度。
3年前新北市校園割頸案,引發社會高度關注,行政院院會今天通過司法院會銜之少事法修正草案,增訂重大案件被害人訴訟參與制度,將重大刑案少年假釋門檻提高至二分之一,並針對「成少共犯」補強偵查程序。
對此,楊承勳父親今晚發表聲明指出,歷經五個多月討論,行政院終於通過修正草案,肯定政府願意正視問題、跨出改革第一步,雖與期待仍有差距,但樂見修法有所進展。
他提出四點主張包含,第一、支持被害人訴訟參與權,肯定重大犯罪被害人及家屬有機會在法庭表達意見,不再只有加害人的聲音;第二、支持提高重大犯罪假釋門檻至服刑超過二分之一,並將被害人及遺屬意見納入假釋審查。
第三、對於殺人、性侵等重大犯罪,前案紀錄塗銷應更嚴格,且判處五年以上有期徒刑案件,應重新檢討現行量刑及刑罰執行,不能忽略被害人受到的傷害;第四、呼籲理性修法,希望司法院、法務部主動與家屬代表溝通,並請立委召開公聽會,邀請專家學者、實務工作者與家屬共同討論,建立兼顧保護與公平的長久制度。
長期陪伴家屬的新北市議員石一佑與議員候選人陳俊諺也對此發表回應。石一佑表示,一路陪伴楊爸爸,期待的是讓被害人與家屬的聲音真正被司法聽見;陳俊諺指出,司法改革不可能一蹴可幾,但每一次制度進步都需要有人持續堅持。
石一佑與陳俊諺共同強調,政院通過草案只是改革起點,草案送交立院後,重大犯罪責任、前案塗銷與被害人權益保障等議題仍須透過公聽會充分對話;少年司法保留改過機會的同時,絕不能忽略被害人傷痛,將持續為被害人權益發聲。
