Abstract

             The purpose of this independent study are: (1) to study concept, theory, background and meaning of Criminal Cases reconciliation taking place              in Thailand. (2) to study the Criminal Cases reconciliation Issues in Thailand and abroad. (3) to study problems and to suggest the solution of the Criminal Cases reconciliation Issues in the Singburi Provincial Court.

            This independent study is the qualitative research type through Thai document and Foreign Language document research, text, law, act, sentence, thesis, articles, journal and Qualitative Research electronic media and In-depth interviews whoever involved.

            The studying of problems and in-depth interviews Criminal Cases Conciliation Issues,  the results showed that (1) inadequate skills among                      the Conciliators or persons who are involved in the conciliation process. (2) limitation of cases getting into conciliation process. (3) inconsistency of the problem-solving procedures in the recent case Conciliation.

             There should be professional conciliators to ensure the smooth running of the system.  I would suggest the following: (1) it is necessary to increase    the Requirements of the President of the Supreme Court about  Conciliation year 2001 section 7 part 1 segment 51 “The mediator or conciliator training program" by adding training hours for each type of training. For example, the contributing conciliator, skilled conciliator, senior conciliator like the USA conciliators; whomever law guaranteed has to attend training program. (2) the Supreme Court may increase the Requirements of the President of the Supreme Court about Conciliation year of 2011 section  1 General part article 4 "Type of Case" to identify the type of case that imprisonment rate of up to          5 years and petty offenses to be categorized as Criminal Cases Conciliation Issues. (3) it would be more useful to apply the  Electronic Media via the internet     in Cases Conciliation, just like in Singapore.
