少年保護事件之保護優先原則與被害人保護之衡平

Balancing the Priority Protection of Juveniles and the Protection of Victims in Juvenile Protection Matters

我國少年司法制度為實踐憲法對兒童及少年之特別保護，採行少年保護優先原則，以落實保障少年之健全自我成長。邇近被害人權益在刑事訴訟程序中之保護，在國際間已然成為刑事政策之重要議題。當少年保護與被害人保護同時在刑事程序中需要兼顧時，如何折衝取捨，必須在法價值體系中逐層解析，以探求其衡平之道。

To realize the special protection to children and adolescence bestowed by the Constitution, the Taiwanese juvenile justice system prioritizes the teenagers' protection so as to enforce the concept of safeguarding the sound self-development of the juveniles.
