There is no substantive enactment in our country to regulate testifier's false statement in the process of investigation under current law. In consideration of such investigation reality, there exist predominant view that the regulations against testifier's untrue statement are necessary to fine actual truth on criminal justice. However, such view is not quite agreeable, for it holds a probability that excessive investigation rights might cause infringement on personal rights. It's because of human rights protection that the criminal justice puts before the finding of actual truth as its biggest principle, and as we see above, any testifiers' untrue statement are already punishable, although restrictive, through interpretation of deceptive scheme under current law such as obstruction of justice, crimes of sheltering or flying a criminal or calumny.

The beginning that the 'Obstruction of Justice' in the United States is commonly known to Korea is through the impeachment of former president W. J. Clinton in 1998. The 'Obstruction of Justice' in the federal law of the United States is comprehensively provided with a general and a particular rule laying emphasis on the obstruction of legal judiciary proceedings. But, according to the Korean Criminal Act and court decisions, there are no such system like the 'Obstruction of Justice' in the United States. In this result, in terms of the criminal-judicial system, some cases even telling a lies has more benefits than revealing the truth and it is discouraged to cooperate the achievement of judicial justice, which make difficulties in investigation and realizing real truth. For this reason, the Ministry of Justice in Korea makes efforts to introduce the 'Obstruction of Justice'. Nevertheless we should examine from all angles that the introduction of 'Obstruction of Justice' is indeed the alternative in our circumstances. Most of the discussions on the introduction of 'Obstruction of Justice' and also the revised bill of the Ministry of Justice are questions of 'False Statement of Suspect and Witness' for investigation of investigative agency, rather than for the introduction of a general rule on the 'Obstruction of Justice'. The introduction of 'False Statement of Suspect and Witness' for investigation of investigative agency needs to consider concern about human rights infringement and witness protection system should be reinforced in the first place. In other words, the introduction of 'False Statement of Suspect and Witness' for investigation process of investigative agency is undesirable now.

경찰은 2015년 '범죄피해자 보호 원년'을 선포하고 전국 경찰서에 피해자전담경찰관을 배치하는 등 지속적인 보호조치를 실시하였고, 2018년에는 경찰법과 경찰관직무집행법의 경찰 임무와 경찰관 직무 범위에 '범죄피해자 보호'를 명시해서 범죄피해자 보호를 강화하고 있지만, 강력사건에 피해자전담경찰관이 현장 출동자와 동행하도록하는 등 현재보다 경찰의 범죄피해자 보호제도가 더 확충되어야 하며, 사건의 가해자에 대한 철저한 수사도 필요하다. 경찰은 범죄가 발생하지 않도록 예방하여야 하고, 범죄가 발생한 경우에는 수사 전과정에서 범죄피해자 보호중심으로 수사하여야 국민의 신뢰도 얻고 실체진실발견에도 도움이 될 것이다.

컴퓨터 시스템을 대상으로 하거나 컴퓨터 시스템을 이용하는 범행의 상당수가 PC방에서 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 불특정 다수의 네티즌들이 이용하는 PC방은 관리상의 용이 등의 이유로 대부분 하드디스크 초기화 프로그램(복원)을 사용하고 있으며, 이와 같은 PC방의 관리 환경은 수사의 직접적인 목적인 증거수집 및 복구을 통하여 실체적 진실발견에 많은 어려움을 초래하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 복원 프로그램의 동작원리를 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 인터넷 접속기록의 효율적인 복원 방법에 대한 논리적인 접근법을 제시하고, 프로그램 구현을 통한 정확한 디지털 증거수집의 실접근법을 제공한다.

The Statement evidence is an important method of proof in the criminal investigation and trial. Under certain conditions set by Korean Criminal Procedure Law, paper records of interrogations are admissible in criminal courts. However, it is shown that distortions are ever-present in paper records. Therefore, this study attempted to examine the effect of the investigator's belief about the veracity of a suspect on distortions of paper records. Ninety police investigators were randomly allocated into one of the three conditions('guilty belief', 'innocent belief', 'neutral belief'), and all the investigators were then asked to document a paper record while watching a prefilmed interrogation interview of the crime. The results showed that (1) the investigator's belief had significant effects on distortions. (2) All groups did more commissions than omissions. (3) matters subject to interrogation also had significant effects on distortions. In the conclusion, implications and limitations of the study were disscussed.

The criminal procedure is based upon two ideal values, or 'speedy trial and economy of litigation' and 'finding truth and guarantee of human rights', which are conflicting each other. The so called summary trial system, a simplified procedure through which a judge handles clearly obvious and minor offences in a quick and efficient manner, has its essential purpose of termination lawsuits promptly and freeing suspects or defendants from criminal procedure at the earliest possible moment. But its excessive emphasis on this purport is very likely to result in insufficient examination and inadequate protection of suspects' or defendants' rights. Therefore, the summary trial system needs a variety of safeguards to prevent these feasible - but undesirable - effects. From this point of view, we should objectively review the current summary trial system. The main object of this study is to investigate what problems the system has both in institution and in practice, and to suggest legal measures, including the abolition of it, to improve the simplified procedure. In conclusion, the summary trial system should be maintained because it has still more merits than faults. And these defects will be able to be overcome by reform measures ; for example, the introduction of the right to opt between the summary procedure and the formal trial, the abolition of detention and so on.
