소년법을 통해서 본 학교폭력예방법의 문제점과 개선방안

Abstract

Korean society is changing very fast causing disputes between the members and even being developed as social issues. The national assembly enacts laws to resolve these issues. Due to enaction of diverse legislations, there are some laws and articles that are redundant with one another. On the contrary, even though certain laws have similar purposes and characteristics, they lack mutual connection between one another. In this sense, examination of laws with similar purpose can contribute to supplementing other laws and improve the quality of legislation. Among them, education laws should be improved consistently because failure in school education could cause great damage to the country. The biggest issue in school education is that students are not safe from school violence. This is because the school violence prevention law is not functioning properly even though it was enacted to resolve school violence. From this perspective, school violence prevention law should be integrated with another legislation to supplement its shortages. Especially, the reason school violence prevention law seems to be insufficient is because school violence has been one of the biggest social issues until recently. The violence by students is becoming tactful and brutal. School violence prevention law that should be the guide to resolve school violence is not sufficient for the resolution. Therefore, juvenile law and school violence prevention law are compared with each other since juvenile law has wider scope of coverage to correct and protect juveniles and can be considered to be adopted to school violence prevention law.
