국내 회복적 소년사법에 대한 연구동향 및 과제: 예비적 고찰

Abstract

This study is aimed at suggesting tasks and directions of future studies on the restorative juvenile justice. For the purpose, related studies and discussions conducted for the past 15 years from 2000 to 2014 were systematically organized and objectively evaluated. Studies conducted during the period were selected and analyzed. Studies to be analyzed were limited to academic treatises, theses of doctors and masters and research reports. Efforts were made to find subject headings using Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) of Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS) and to cross search data of Kyobo Bookstore Scholar, e-article, DBpia, KISS and the National Assembly Library in order to prevent repetitions or omissions. According to the study, academic treatises accounted for the highest 60.3%, or 41 out of 66 publications related to the restorative juvenile justice. Regarding the trend of studies following the time passage, there were many studies introducing the restorative juvenile justice during the introduction period from 2000 to 2004 and those studies were mainly led by state-run institutes. During the experiment period from 2005 to 2009, most of studies were conducted by legal scholars and they were focused on applying the restorative juvenile justice in Korea. During the final settlement period from 2010 to 2014, the scope of studies was expanded to school violence and scholars of new fields, including educational studies and social welfare, began to conduct empirical studies, such as case studies. Regarding the domestic restorative juvenile justice, it was easy to make access objects in general, so there were not many empirical studies compared to other fields of research. In order to develop the domestic restorative juvenile justice, empirical studies, including the ongoing evaluation study on the restorative juvenile justice, should be executed. In addition, various programs should be adopted and diverse types of programs should be improved while applying the restorative juvenile justice.
