รัฐธรรมนูญแห่งราชอาณาจักรไทย พุทธศักราช 2540 : ศึกษาเฉพาะกรณี การคุ้มครองผู้เสียหายและพยานที่เป็นเด็กในการสอบสวน / ร้อยตำรวจโทหญิง จิตติมา ธงไชย = Constitution B.E. 2540 : case study protection of child victim and witness during the investigation stage / Pol.Lt. Chittima Thongchai
To study any enforcement problems on the Criminal Procedure Code Amendment Act [No.20] B.E. 2542. To make our child protection measures be up to international standards and correspond with the treaty on Children's Right, the amended Act has adopted procedures which has been used in other foreign countries as guild-line. Those prodedures are special and different from normal criminal investigation and prosecution procedures. In my study, I found that the enforcement of the investigation procedures which originally are foreign is not so effective as it is meant to be. This is due to lacking of suitable places for investigation, equipment, personel, practical measures and budgets. Lacking of suitable organized units which are accountable for the job is also one of the reasons. This makes the Act ineffective and has an effect on child victims and child witness' protection. I suggest that there should be a special unit in each organization concerned which armed with special trained staffs. The preatical measures should be clearly adopted and the safety of child victims and child witnesses should be assured as in the international standards.
