近年來，修復式司法在許多國家皆有實踐，然而修復式司法是否可以運用在家庭暴力案件中，向來有很多爭議。我國法務部於2010年開始推動修復式司法試行方案，各地檢署多將家庭暴力案件列入修復式司法試行方案的適用範圍，且在接案類型方面，家暴案件占有極高比例。
為因應家庭暴力問題之多元性及複雜性，發展多元的處理方式，以滿足不同當事人的需求實為必要。惟無論採取任何的處理方式，皆必須以被害人之安全及權益為第一考量。修復式司法要能夠成功運用在家庭暴力案件中，需要有完整的配套措施，如此對弱勢的受暴婦女來說才可能是契機而非帶來更大的危機。
目前臺灣處於方案發展初期，在尚未充分準備的階段，即大量運用在家庭暴力此類敏感、複雜的案件，實為不妥。在修復促進者對於家暴議題之敏感度仍不足，亦無針對家暴案件作特殊程序的設置之情況下，若對具有權控關係之家暴案件進行修復程序，則無法確保被害人在修復程序中免於脅迫，如此有違反家庭暴力防治法第47條規定之虞。本文認為應針對相關人力資源及配置全盤檢討改進，在制度完善之前，當事人權力關係不對等之家庭暴力案件不應進行修復程序，以免危害被害人之安全及權益。
In recent years, Restorative Justice has been practiced in many countries; however, there has been much controversy on whether Restorative Justice can be applied in domestic violence cases. In 2010, the Ministry of Justice began to promote the pilot program of Restorative Justice. Since then, local prosecutor offices have included cases of domestic violence in the application of Restorative Justice pilot program owing to a high proportion of reported domestic violence cases.
In order to address the diversity and complexity of domestic violence, the development of various approaches to meet the needs of different parties is undeniably necessary. Nevertheless, whatever prosecuting approaches may be employed, the safety and interests of the victims must be taken as the first consideration. Whether Restorative Justice can be successfully applied in domestic violence cases replies on a complete coordination plan; vulnerable battered women therefore could turn the circumstances around into a positive opportunity rather than a greater crisis.
At present, Taiwan is at the initial stage of the program development; hence, any means of extensive use on such sensitive and complicated cases of domestic violence is indeed inappropriate. Considering the supports’ inadequate sensitivity on domestic violence issues, and under the circumstances of lacking special prosecuting procedures for domestic violence cases, any Restorative Justice practices in domestic violence cases associated with dominated or controlled relations might jeopardize the full protection on the victims from being coerced. This could result in the potential violation of Article 47 in the Domestic Violence Prevention Act. This paper presents the argument that a comprehensive review and improvement of relevant human resources and allocation should be put into practice. Before the system is well implemented, any Restorative Justice procedures should not be applied in a domestic violence case that the involved party does not have an equal power relation between the batterer so as not to endanger the safety and interests of the victim.
