Abstract

This research intended to examine an effect of extralegal factors such as victim's characteristics, etc. except for legal factors necessary for sentencing judgement of sexual violence on jury verdict. Thus, it intended to prepare empirical base to examine possibilities of unfair treatment of justice procedure for victims or the accused. the contents showed by this research are as follows. First, jury reduced determination of punishment of the accused by about the half averagely after they knew that victims of sexual violence have a career of charge withdrawal for previous sexual violence. Second, jury who was suggested by victims' previous work in similar prostitution tended to reduce determination of punishment of the accused in comparison with the time before the suggestion. Fourth, if suggesting a petition of victims of sexual violence, determination of punishment of the accused was significantly increased in comparison with the time before the suggestion. Among the three factors of victims, what makes the most effects on determination of punishment was a condition of charge withdrawal. Next, there were working in similar prostitution and suggestion of victim's petition in order. However, general influence was existing by treatment, but it implies that strength of influence was different by treatment condition among them. It should be necessary to examine verdict of jury for the utilization of victim factors as a ground of jury's determination of punishment through the quantitative analysis in the future. This research showed that there will be possibilities to make an effect on jury's legal judgement if extralegal victim factors are introduced to the court. In the future, we should make an effort to prepare procedural standard which can exclude extralegal factors before the gradually expanded execution of civic participation in criminal trials.
