探究親密伴侶殺人案件之樣貌與民事保護令介入情形

An Exploration of Intimate Partner Homicide Patterns and Civil Protection Order Interventions in Taiwan

本研究從文獻及政府統計資料，檢視臺灣民事保護令制度發展歷程與現況，並以內容分析法分析2015至2018年間90件親密伴侶殺人案件裁判書，以瞭解這類案件的樣貌及民事保護令介入情形。研究結果顯示，臺灣親密伴侶殺人案件以男性殺害女性伴侶為主，其中5成曾有受暴史，顯示這類案件是立基於性別因素的暴力。另男性殺害女性伴侶多與分離或忌妒議題相關，反映傳統華人父權文化之影響；女性殺害男性伴侶則多與不堪受暴反擊相關，並以下藥後殺害為主，兩者呈現不同的暴力樣態與脈絡。在曾有受暴史案件中，約5成被害人曾向正式體系求助並獲核發民事保護令，但核發款項以禁止施暴及騷擾為主，且有10名加害人在保護令核發後3個月內殺害被害人，顯示民事保護令非萬靈丹。考量現行臺灣將親密關係暴力放入家庭脈絡中，淡化性別權力在其中扮演的角色，也影響司法介入強度，故建議未來修法時，應重新檢視傳統華人文化父權思維對法制及服務體系之影響，修正保護對象範疇及責任通報制度，強化警政與司法系統在防治體系的角色。同時，應落實性別暴力專業訓練，並持續推動暴力零容忍及性別平權社會文化，以從根本提升防治效能。

This study explores the development and current implementation of Taiwan’s civil protection order system through a review of relevant literature and government statistics. It also analyzes 90 court verdicts of intimate partner homicide cases from 2015 to 2018 using content analysis to investigate the characteristics of these incidents and the role of civil protection orders.
Findings indicate that most intimate partner homicide cases involved male perpetrators and female victims, with approximately half of all cases having a documented history of prior abuse. Notably, in cases where women killed male partners, around 50% of the women were previously victims of violence, suggesting the gendered nature of intimate partner homicide. Issues related to separation and jealousy accounted for about 40% each of the conflict causes, influenced by traditional patriarchal values in Chinese culture. Among victims with prior abuse histories, roughly half had sought assistance from formal systems and obtained civil protection orders; however, most orders were limited to prohibiting assault and harassment. Alarmingly, ten victims were killed within three months of the order’s issuance, highlighting the limitations of civil protection orders as a standalone intervention.
Given that Taiwan’s legal framework tends to contextualize intimate partner violence within broader family violence, often downplaying the role of gender, this study suggests a critical reassessment of patriarchal cultural influences on existing laws, policies, and services. It further recommends that revising the scope of protected individuals and the mandatory reporting system, strengthening the role of police and judicial systems in the prevention framework, and implementing professional training for personnel on gender-based violence. To fundamentally prevent intimate partner violence, it is also crucial to continue fostering a societal atmosphere of zero tolerance for violence and gender equality.
