청소년범죄의 형사법적 대책과 검사의 역할

Criminal Legal Measure of Juvenile Delinquency and Prosecutor s Role

Measures against juvenile crime and deliquency finally show to be effective in prevention and preclusion of repetition of offences. To achieve this what I consider necessary is to concretize the juvenile protection system for children under the age of 14 and the suspension indictment system concerning juvenile crime and thus expand them into efficient system capable of preventing repetitional deliquency and crime. A diverse and efficient interventional diversion program should be considered for youths put under suspension of indictment measure and this program has to be effectively maintained by establishing connections between the youths and civilian volunteers. This would require some groping into a systemic program creation and the applicational organization. At the same time what is to be considered first is not judicial control of juveniles predisposed to committing a crime but instead non-judicial, public-welfare type composite measures for crime prevention should be created by getting in touch with the community starting from school and family. There is need for establishment and maintenance of a systemic program that would activate and support private volunteer action in juvenile prosecution system. For reference, see the latest common policy for proper judicial guidance of juvenile offenders and prevention of deliquency of the Ministry of Justice.
