청소년의 긴장요인이 약물남용에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of strain on drug abuse in juvenile and to propose preventive policies. According to the “White Paper on Drug-related Crimes (2021)” the total number of drug-related crime offenders decreased but the number of offenders under the age of 19 increased. These results shocked society by showing that ordinary citizens and teenagers are no exception to drug abuse crimes that have been recognized as exclusive to a specific group. The research method analyzed the factors of strain and drug abuse through logistic regression analysis in the survey data on juvenile drug behavior. In this study, the effect of the strain factors of juvenile experienced in daily activities on their drug abuse behavior was analyzed according to the GST. As a result, it was analyzed that the more juveniles who feel more stress and loneliness and have more experience of violent crime victimization, the higher the possibility of drug abuse. In order to prevent juvenile drug abuse, first of all, the subject of survey on drugs that were only targeting adults should be expanded to juvenile. For juvenile, drugs have already entered their daily lives, so simple preventive education on drug abuse is not enough. It is possible to cope only by knowing through what process they are exposed to drugs. In addition, juvenile should develop their ability to properly cope with strain in their daily lives.Therefore, various counseling programs such as personal counseling or group counseling, and activities other than subjects that can relieve strain should be prepared.
