中文摘要:

家庭是構成社會國家的基本單位，是個人的避風港、心靈的棲身之所，每個人從小到大所賴以生存的環境。上述說明都足以印證家庭對一個人成長的重要性。如果家庭成員間有暴力的情形發生，不僅會造成嚴重的社會問題，對各個成員的心理層面亦造成一定的衝擊。
　 家庭暴力問題在世界各國已經愈來愈受到重視。近年來，世界各國不斷推動婦女人權的運動，美國、英國、紐西蘭、澳洲、香港等地，皆已制定「家庭暴力防治法」以杜絕家庭暴力案件的發生。因此，如果仍抱持「法不入家門」、「家庭暴力是家務事」的觀念，已經不能符合時代的要求，並且不能解決實質的問題。
基於上述理由，立法院在民國八十七年五月二十八日三讀通過「家庭暴力防治法」，於民國八十七年六月二十四日總統令公布施行。另外，為配合實務運作，家庭暴力防治法施行迄今，前後共歷經四次的修正，使整部法律內容更臻完善。
　　家庭暴力防治法的施行，除彰顯防治家庭暴力行為及保護被害人權益的原則外，也象徵我國對於家暴議題的重視。惟該法雖已開始施行，但其功效能否發揮，仍需視司法、警政、醫療、社工、教育等相關單位之執行能否配合與落實。因此，本文將針對我國家庭暴力防治法施行前的相關法律規定，與家庭暴力防治法做比較，進而探討現行家庭暴力防治法實施現況及法律的適用情形。
　　本文共分為六章，以下簡述各章內容：
第一章：說明本文的研究動機、目的與方法。
第二章：探討家庭暴力的意義，並運用心理學、社會學及犯罪學的理論來說明家庭暴力發生的原因。
第三章：透過我國刑法來探討家庭暴力的刑事責任，並指出家庭暴力防治法未施行前的相關規定之缺失。
第四章：針對我國現行家庭暴力防治法的相關規範加以說明，包括保護令制度、刑事程序與加害人處遇計畫，並透過司法院、法務部及內政部的統計資料來分析家庭暴力犯罪的現況。
第五章：挑選家庭暴力防治法施行前、後所發生的典型家暴案例，運用「案例與判決分析法」探討相關法律的適用情形。
第六章：列舉目前實務運作的缺失，並提出相關修法建議以供參考。

英文摘要:

A family, a basic unit of a society, is a personal haven, a shelter for the soul, and an environment that a person needs to rely on throughout his life. Therefore, a family has a close relationship with a person’s growth process. Any violence occurring in a family will not only cause serious social problems but also bring a certain level of psychological impact on every family member.
Domestic violence has become a worldwide issue that has received increasing attention. In recent years, countries around the world have continued to promote the women's human rights movement. The Domestic Violence Prevention Act has been set up to prevent the occurrence of domestic violence. The ideas of “laws are unnecessary in the home” and “domestic violence is a family matter” no longer meet the requirements of the times, and cannot solve substantial problems.
For these reasons, the “Domestic Violence Prevention Act” was approved by the Legislative Yuan on May 28, 1998 and promulgated pursuant to a Presidential Order on June 24, 1998. In addition, in line with practical operations, the Domestic Violence Prevention Act has been amended four times since its establishment to make the overall content of the Act more comprehensive.
The enforcement of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act not only demonstrates the principles of domestic violence prevention and victim rights protection but also signifies that the nation intends to pay attention to the domestic violence issue. Although enforcement of the Act has been initiated, effectiveness depends on cooperation and fulfillment of duties of related units such as judicial, police, medical, social work, and education. This thesis aims to make a comparison between related laws prior to enforcement of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act and the said Act. Furthermore, the current enforcement status of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act and application of the Act are also reviewed in this thesis.
This thesis consists of six chapters. The contents of each chapter are summarized as follows:
Chapter 1: Explanation of motives, purposes, and methods for the thesis.
Chapter 2: Study of the meaning of domestic violence and
explanation of reasons for domestic violence based on the
theories of psychology, sociology, and criminology.
Chapter 3: Study of criminal responsibility of domestic violence through criminal law and deficiencies of related laws prior to enforcement of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act.
Chapter 4: Explanation of related norms in the current Domestic Violence Prevention Act, including protection orders,
judicial procedures, and the Regulation of Domestic Violence Offender Treatment Program; analysis of domestic violence status through statistical data of the Judicial Yuan, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of the Interior.
Chapter 5: Typical individual domestic violence cases that occurred prior to and after enforcement of the Domestic Violence Prevention Act are selected to review application of the related laws using “Analysis of case study and adjudication”.
Chapter 6: Enumeration of current practical operation deficiencies and suggestions for related law amendment for reference.
