2019年6月修正刑事訴訟法部分條文，規定檢察官於「偵查中」、法院於「言詞辯論終結前」，經關係人之同意或依其聲請，將案件轉介適當機關、機構或團體進行修復。另外，與引進「修復式正義」(Restorative Justice)，議題相關的重要修法是，刑事訴訟法增訂第七編之三「被害人訴訟參與」（第455條之38至同條之47），賦予一定犯罪之被害人得請求付與卷宗及證物之影本、就審判中之調查證據陳述意見、辯論證據證明力以及就科刑範圍表示意見等參與訴訟之權利。
依修法理由說明，引進修復式正義「旨在藉由有建設性之參與及對話，在尊重、理解及溝通之氛圍下，尋求彌補被害人之損害、痛苦及不安，以真正滿足被害人之需要，並修復因衝突而破裂之社會關係」。惟關於修復式方案的適用範圍、程序要件、實施方式及修復的效力如何等相關機制或配套，卻均未進一步明文規範。可預見的是，委由偵審實務裁量運作的結果，恐將造成適用標準不一、處遇結果不公等現象，而相當程度影響及於被告及被害人的權益，乃至於司法程序公平性及正確性。因此，在法制化之初，針對被害人的參與訴訟機制的檢討，以及修復式方案如何設計，包括其適用範圍、程序要件、實施方式及修復的效力等課題，均有必要從維護正當法律程序、無罪推定及兼顧被害人權益保護的觀點，進行制度論的比較研究與實務運作狀況的觀察檢討。
In June 2019, some provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law were revised, requiring prosecutors to refer cases to appropriate agencies, institutions or groups "during investigation" and "before the conclusion of oral arguments" by the court with the consent of the parties involved or at their request. Repair. In addition, an important legislative amendment related to the issue of introducing "restorative justice" is the addition of Part 7-3 of the Criminal Procedure Law "Victims' Litigation Participation" (Article 455-38 to Article 47 of the same article), which provides certain Victims of crimes have the right to request copies of files and exhibits, to state their opinions on the investigation evidence during the trial, to debate the probative strength of the evidence, and to express their opinions on the scope of the punishment, etc., and have the right to participate in the proceedings.
According to the reasons for amending the law, the introduction of restorative justice "aims to seek to compensate for the victim's damage, pain and discomfort through constructive participation and dialogue, in an atmosphere of respect, understanding and communication, so as to truly meet the needs of the victim, and Repairing social relations broken by conflict". However, there is no further explicit specification of the relevant mechanisms or supporting facilities such as the scope of application, procedural requirements, implementation methods, and effectiveness of the repair plan. It is foreseeable that the result of entrusting investigation practice discretion to operate may result in inconsistent application standards and unfair treatment results, which will affect the rights and interests of defendants and victims to a considerable extent, and even the fairness and correctness of judicial procedures. sex. Therefore, at the beginning of legalization, it is necessary to review the victim's participation in litigation mechanisms and how to design restorative plans, including their scope of application, procedural requirements, implementation methods, and effectiveness of repairs, etc., from the perspective of maintaining due legal process, From the viewpoint of presumption of innocence and taking into account the protection of the rights and interests of victims, we conduct comparative research on institutional theory and observe and review practical operation conditions.
