소년원 출원생의 사회정착을 위한 연계체계에 관한 일본 사례연구

Abstract

The social settlement of those released from the reformatory requires a wide range of resources, including welfare, employment, health care, and education. Japan recognizes this and has attempted an integrated approach for many years. Specifically, for a number of years, related laws have been revised or newly enacted, and policies have been put in place to support juveniles in delinquency and crime. The review of Japan's recidivism prevention and social settlement support system, based on multi-organization cooperation, can provide important implications for Korea's policy making. This is because Korea also has the same problem in supporting social settlement to prevent recidivism of juveniles released from the reformatory. With this in mind, first, this paper outlined the procedures and status of those released from the reformatory in Japan. Next, it looked at the system of supporting the nation's recidivism and social settlement, and examined the system and initiatives of implementation in the region. Based on this, the implications for establishing related legislation and policies in Korea were drawn.
