| Research Abstract |
A purpose of the victim's participation in criminal trials is the increase of the victim's welfare to the extent not inconsistent with the original function of the criminal trial. According to the survey results, the operation of the victim's participation system does not inhibit the intrinsic function of the criminal trial. But in the cases that a defendant pleads not guilty, the victim's participation inhibits the defense of the accused. In order to clear this problem, we need dividing criminal procedure in to finding fact and sentencing process.
