In addition, because of the limited ability of children’s cognition, memory and language development, it is hard to obtain testimony that is both correct and complete from them, thereby decreases the conviction rate. In some cases, it might lead to wrongful conviction because of false testimony. Traditionally, to respond to the aforementioned pain point, both Taiwan and the United States apply traditional procedural tools including hearsay exception, the deviation from strict confrontation requirements and protection measures in trial proceedings. However, the traditional procedural tools might fail owing to children’s memory loss or the contamination from other people. To improve this situation, the United States introduced two new procedural tools—forensic interviewer and the multidisciplinary team. In Taiwan, many one-stop services have been set up in the past 10 years, and Article 15-1 of the Sexual Assault Prevention Act has gone into effect on January 1st, 2017. Nonetheless, this thesis suggests that there are certain flaws in applying the new procedural tools in Taiwan. This thesis will present the flaws in applying the two new procedural tools in Taiwan and propose solutions to the flaws by introducing the practice of applying the new procedural tools in the United States. We will also discuss whether it is possible to introduce Child Advocacy Center that is similar to that in the United States. Chin, Mong-Hwa 金孟華 2018 學位論文 ; thesis 79 zh-TW
