형사사법기관 간의 합리적 관계의 모색 - 건전한 견제와 균형의 필요 -

To realize the ideals and values of the criminal justice, it is required for the police officers, prosecutors and judges to do the best exercising the functions given to each other fair and reasonably. Inevitably, members of criminal institutions have direct/indirect relations with each other while executing their duties. While the way how these criminal institutions in the criminal process build relationships is very crucial in securing the fairness of criminal law and obtaining public confidence, but the studies to deal with this part have been rare and scarce. Even until present, criminal institutions have come into conflict in view of preserving and enhancing their own powers around several controversial issues. That, of course causes damaging public confidence and interrupting reasonable operation in criminal justice system. On one hand, criminal institutions sometimes have to cooperate to for the aim of ensuring justice and securing safety of society and citizens in it, and on the other hand, it is urgently needed to maintain reasonable relations of checks and balances through each institution’s lessening exclusive exercise of authority and enlarging posteriori test and screening of other ones.
