ABSTRACT

Given that the criminal justice process first begins with the police investigation, there is a great need to secure accountability and transparency through citizen participation. In this regard, the article focuses on reviewing the current status of citizen participation system in the Korean criminal investigation. Citizen participation schemes that has been recently expanded or under discussion for introducing in the criminal investigation phase since 2018 ― exclusion/recusation of a police investigator and/or avoidance to a investigator, using self-advocacy note during investigation, and criminal public defender in particular ― are considered positive in that they lead citizens to be active and autonomous as ‘parties’ of the criminal investigations and proceedings. For ensuring that citizen participation in the criminal investigation process has an effective meaning, it is recommended to expand the participation of ‘ordinary’ citizens into those schemes, to assess continuously and regularly the schemes' implementation, to gather opinions from the investigation field, and to raise awareness and understanding of the schemes among both police investigators and citizens.
