The operation status and reasonable operation plan of the treatment entrusted institution as an executive agency under the Juvenile Act No. 7

For Protection juvenile with mental illness, it is difficult to expect the effect of improvement or edification of their success except for a therapeutic approach through disposition 7. However, in addition to Daejeon Juvenile Center, there is no dedicated medical institution in juvenile center that executes disposition No. 7 under the Juvenile Act, and the number of hospitals, which are consignment institutions for treatment, is absolutely insufficient. Therefore, the court in charge of juvenile protection cases nationwide is having considerable difficulty in deciding on disposition 7. The subject of disposition No. 7 is not a juvenile with a general mental illness, but a delinquent juvenile who is feared to commit a crime or has reached a certain level of delinquency.

In the end, specialization of treatment based on more individual and professional programs for those subject to disposition No. 7 is understood as an indispensable measure to achieve the ideology of sound development of juveniles, the purpose of the Juvenile Act. As a result, these treatment improvement measures will be expected to have a positive function that leads to the suppression of re-delinquent of protected juvenile.
