증거의 증명력 판단에 대한 미디어 효과 연구

Abstract

The jury in the public participation trial selected from the general public is a non-expert in scientific investigation and can feel considerable difficulty in determining the proof of evidence. The general public indirectly experiences the process of proof of facts in criminal proceedings through the media.
 This study attempted to examine the media effect on the judgment of the proof of evidence. To this end, the Forensic Evidence Evaluation Bias(FEEB) scale was introduced and used for analysis. Using data surveyed on 1,000 adult men and women nationwide in 2020, the relationship between media exposure, perception of evidence, and bias in forensic evidence evaluation bias was reviewed.
 As a result of the analysis, no so-called CSI effect was found, and it was confirmed that exposure to non-fiction media partially mediated FEEB and affected the perception of the proof of physical evidence. In addition, the recognition of the proof power of human evidence had an indirect effect by completely mediating it.
 Through this study, the following implications could be derived. ① Given that the media is the primary source of forensic knowledge, the media's careful provision of content, ② The investigative agency's response to the high level of public FEED, ③ The response of investigative agencies to the increase in the value of scientific evidence, ④ Development of a self-purification system for media that provides real-world information This study deals with a more comprehensive topic of media effect rather than verifying the CSI effect, and differs from previous studies in that it divides evidence into scientific evidence and statement evidence. In addition, it is meaningful in that FEEB was introduced for the first time in Korea. In the future, we propose a study on media effect analysis using scenario techniques.
