소년법의 우범소년 규정 폐지와 복지적 개입 활성화

Abstract

Crime-prone Juvenile under the Juvenile Act can receive protective detention, such as transfering to the Juvenile Reformatory. Crime-prone Juvenile means Juveniles who are ten years of age or more, fall under any of the following items and in view of their character or environment, may be prone to commit acts in violation of Acts and subordinate statutes relating to criminal punishment. ①Juveniles who have inclinations to cause uneasy feeling for people around them by roaming in groups. ②Juveniles who stay away from home without any justifiable reason. ③Juveniles who have inclinations to drink alcohol, raise a disturbance or be exposed to harmful environment influences. The theory of the existence or abolition of Crime-prone Juvenile, which had existed since the enactment of the Juvenile Act on July 24, 1958, began on July 31, 1963, and has continued to this day. If the theory of the existence or abolition of Crime-prone Juvenile continues for nearly 60 years without resolving the problem of the unclear concept of Crime-prone Juvenile and judicial intervention, the theory of improvement of Crime-prone Juvenile is not valid. The current law has a system of welfare interventions for children and adolescents that may be considered Crime-prone Juvenile. Let's abolish the rule on Crime-prone Juvenile and actively promote welfare interventions.
