한국과 영국의 소년사법 교정처우제도의 비교분석에 관한 연구

Abstract

In the UK, the number of people in juvenile detention institutions has rapidly decreased due to the continuous decline in juvenile crime over the past few years, and the performance of the juvenile justice system is also evaluated positively. However, the decline in the number of inmates, the tendency to reduce government financial support, violence in facilities, increased self-harm, and the rising recidivism rate after applying for facilities are raising more complex social problems. To solve this problem, the British government is making efforts to expand and enhance services to set education and welfare as the main tasks of juvenile detention institutions and to solve fundamental risk factors that increase the possibility of crime risk. The biggest problem with the delay in our juvenile justice process and the management gap for juvenile offenders is that there is no educational treatment for boys in the juvenile justice process. This may cause maladjustment or side effects such as psychological anxiety, frustration, fear of disposition, and suspension of school due to insufficient attendance days, and this suspension of school is the biggest cause of a boy who has lost his or her goal. Repeated academic suspension and recidivism have an aspect that intensifies the delinquency tendency of boys and makes it difficult to re-socialize. As an alternative, this study first proposed the development of information education and employment programs using metadata for privatization of juvenile prisons, third, the establishment of a mentor-mentee volunteer organization, and fourth, mental and physical health programs using youth social service projects.
