為回應近年發生的精神障礙者的殺人與傷害事件，立法者於2022年2月修正了刑法的監護處分，把處分期間改為近乎無期。對此，筆者認為，若5年的監護處分，不能治療精神疾病，後續的處分就已失去意義，反而會使精神障礙者的權利，受到不合理的對待。

另外，為兼顧被告醫療、訴訟權益之保障及社會安全防護之需求，刑事訴訟法於同一時間增訂具有拘束人身自由性質的「暫行安置」。但由於暫行安置，最長可延長至5年，且無論違法的類型輕重，都可以暫行安置。這對精神障礙行為人是雙重的不利，值得大家好好思考。"

In response to the recent killing and injury offenses committed by mentally disordered people, legislators amended the custodial protection of Criminal Code in February 2022, revising its period into nearly indefinite one. In this regard, I believe that if the five-year custodial protection is still unable to cure mental illness, the subsequent custody will be meaningless, and, instead, it will cause unjust treatment to the rights of the mentally disordered.

Besides, in order to take into account the protection of defendants’ medical health and their litigation interests as well as the needs of social security protection, “provisional placement” that will restrict personal freedom is added into Code of Criminal Procedure at the same time. However, provisional placement can be extended to a maximum of five years and implemented regardless of the severity of the offense. This causes double disadvantage to the mentally disordered offender and deserves our consideration.
