일본의 개정 소년법과 우리나라 소년법의 개정방안

Abstract

It is not an overstatement that boys are more exposed to the crime compared with before by a rapid change of social development, the morality loss at schools, development of various mass communications, etc. Moreover, the boys who live in a city by urban centralization of population are exposed to the opportunity to commit more crime. The boys as important human resources to lead the society should be protected in a social community in order not to approach to a crime. A criminal law that targets adult offenders has proactively coped with the development of society through the amendment at the request of the times. However, a juvenile law is indifferent to many people despite an increase including a crime in juvenile crime, a diversity of ways, also despite much dangers than an adult crime. It is a necessary time for juvenile protection to make legislative device. Contrary to Korea, Japan has actively coped with a number of policies and legislations actively to deal with decreasing juvenile crime rate. Juvenile people of Japan affected from the old Western culture are showing high crime rates just as adult prisoners through a variety of ways and cruel methods. Thus, Japan to deal with increasing juvenile crime began the revision of the Juvenile Law in 2007 in 2008 and in 2010. After I consider a revision of the main content of Japanese juvenile law. I will also consider the direction of a juvenile Law of korea to be revised and problems of a revised juvenile law of Japan.
