피의자신문시 변호인이 참여할 수 있도록 명문 규정을 둔 2007년 형사소송법 개정은 진일보한 개정이라 할 수 있다. 그러나, 피의자신문시 변호인 참여 제도는 현재까지도 제대로 활성화되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이 제도를 활성화하기 위해서는 첫째, 피의자에게 국선변호권이 확대되어야 할 것이다. 둘째, '검사의 사법경찰관리에 대한 수사지휘 및 사법경찰관리의 수사준칙에 관한 규정'의 문제점이 개정되어야 할 것이다. 셋째, 수사기관에 대한 교육이 강화되고 변호인에게 수사 일정 등 통지가 제도화 되어야 할 것이다. 이러한 대책을 통해 피의자신문시 변호인 참여 제도가 활겅화되어야 피의자의 인권이 제대로 보장될 것이다.

Right to counsel means a defendant has a right to have the assistance of counsel (i.e., lawyers), and if the defendant cannot afford a lawyer, requires that the government appoint one or pay the defendant's legal expenses. The right to counsel is generally regarded as a constituent of the right to a fair trial. Historically, however, not all countries have always recognized the right to counsel. The right is often included in criminal law and constitutional law etc. First, any person who is arrested or detained shall have the right to prompt assistance of counsel. When a criminal defendant is unable to secure counsel by his own efforts, the State shall assign counsel for the defendant as prescribed by act in article 12(4) of the constitutional law. Second, the defense counsel or a person who desires to be a defense counsel may have an interview with the defendant or the suspect who is placed under physical restraint, deliver or receive any documents or things and have any doctor examine and treat the defendant or the suspect in article 34 of the criminal law. Nonetheless, problems about guarantee of the rights to counsel to the national security violators like spy terrorist and etc will be important for Koreans to consider. That is because national security violators's cases are qualitatively different from general criminal offense's cases and historically, lawyer obstruct a investigation in the process of examination of a suspect for national security violators. Therefore, this study suggest a way that a restriction the rights to counsel with an attorney in cases of the national security violators. To this end, in this paper, I touch on restriction of right to counsel during interrogation in the England and Germany etc in comparison to that of Korea and review Korea's Supreme Court decision and Constitution Court decision to understand the prospective and trends for Korean investigation procedure improvement.

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 most important thing in the trial reveal the truth regardess of civil trial or criminal trial. The criminal procedure should be amended to guarantee victims the right to attend court hearings, to receive information about the progress of their case. But the new Criminal Procedure Law 2007 stipulated merely reading right of investigation records after prosecution while reading and printing rights prior to prosecution were not legislated. All sections of the criminal justice process must ensure that the process of dealing with the offender should not increase the distress or add to the problems of victims of crime in secondary victimisation. Reading and printing rights of prior to prosecution should be stipulated at earliest to protect the criminal victims and to prevent the secondary victimisation, The purpose of this study is to practically protect the right of the victims on the criminal procedures.
