The purpose of this study was to compare between two-parent and single-parent families the relationship between perceived parental monitoring/affection and adolescent offline/online delinquency. we analyzed 1,812 cases of high school students (1,628 cases of two-parent families and 184 cases of single-parent families) using the $4^{th}$-and $5^{th}$-year data from the 'Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey'. We used structural equation modeling to understand the correlation between variables, and conducted multi-group analysis to confirm the distinction between family structures. The results of the study were as follows. First, perceived parental monitoring influenced offline adolescent delinquency only among two parent families, while perceived parental affection did not influence either family type. Second, perceived parental affection influenced online adolescent delinquency only among single-parent families, and the path also had a greater negative effect than two-parent families. In the case of perceived parental monitoring, it did not influence online adolescent delinquency regardless of family type, but the path had a greater negative effect on two-parent families than single-parent families. Based on these results-, more concrete social-welfare practical and political implications about adolescent delinquency proposed.

The purpose of this study is to compare with three juvenile delinquency theories on adolescents' status offenses including Hirschi's social bonding theory, Agnew's general strain theory, and Akers' social learning theory. The data derived from a sample of 2,337 middle school students taken from National Youth Policy Institute in 2011-2012. Multiple OLS regression analysis revealed that variables from social learning theory were strongly supported as an explanation for adolescents' status offenses, while variables from general strain theory were not supported. The social learning model explained 12.0% of the variance in adolescents' status offenses. However, general strain variables explained 2.6% of the variance in the dependant variable and 6.2% of the variance in adolescents' status offenses were explained by the social bonding variables. The present research made important contributions the further utilization of social learning in investigating many of the damaging forms of social deviance which exist in our society.

This article aims to explore the possibility of forgiving among serious juvenile offenders placed in correctional facilities, as an alternative to current correctional approaches. The definition, characteristics, and misconceptions of forgiveness were outlined, and the two major models of forgiveness were introduced. The differences between the two concepts of forgiveness in psychological literature and in restorative justice were addressed. Based on the prior studies on the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences in serious juvenile delinquents and a recent forgiveness project conducted in a maximum-security prison, it was argued that it would be possible for a small number of serious juvenile offenders in correctional facilities to forgive someone who did injustice in the past, which would result in an improvement in the outcomes of correctional education and treatment. Some limitations of this article and the need of further studies were pointed out as well.

The purpose of this study is to develop a personality education tea culture therapy program to effectively improve juvenile delinquency prevention and social adaptation. In order to verify the effectiveness of the tea culture therapy program through social intervention, we analyzed whether there were significant differences in the scores of social characteristics such as self-efficacy, self-control, and interpersonal relationships of juvenile detention students before and after participating in the program. Ten juvenile detention students between the ages of 14 and 17 who were accommodated to a juvenile detention center in B city were selected as the experimental group for the study. The tea culture therapy program was conducted 10 times as a social intervention personality education for juvenile delinquents, and as a result, self-efficacy was found to have a pre-mean of 2.37 (SD 0.33) and a post-mean of 2.49 (SD 0.31), showing a significant difference (Z=-5.874. P=.000), self-control showed a significant difference with the pre-mean 2.06 (SD 0.20) and the post-mean of 2.16 (SD 0.19) (Z=-4.743, P=.001). The interpersonal relationship was found to have a significant difference, with a pre-mean of 1.90 (SD 0.32) and a post-mean of 2.15 (SD 0.21) (Z=-5.892, P=.000). The above results show that this program has a significant effect on improving social characteristics such as self-efficacy, self-control, and interpersonal relationships among juvenile detention students. Therefore, the tea culture therapy program developed in this study for personality education for juveniles can be used as a personality education program for various types of adolescents as well as in the field of correctional welfare in the future.

The primary purpose of this study is to design and perform juvenile group program and. to evaluate the effectiveness of that program The group was consisted of 10 fourth-grade elementary school boys who have had such factors that might force themselves to be delinquent, for example, broken family, having delinquent siblings or friends, family violence, and etc. The group had been held once a week and continued for 5 months. The effectiveness of that program is evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively through goal-attainment model. The ultimate goal of this program is reduction of delinquency stimulating factors which are operationalized with overall self-esteem - family related self-esteem, friend related self-esteem, and school related self-esteem. Quantitative evaluation is performed by pre- and post-test with Hare Self-Esteem Scale. Case records, family records, group activities records, and reports from schools are analyzed for the qualitative evaluation. According to paired samples t-test scores, average overall self-esteem scores of experimental group members were escalated from 67.57 to 74.86, and this difference between pre-test and post-test was statistically significant. Difference of experimental group was bigger and more striking than that of control group. These results suggest that designed and performed group program in this study would be effective in preventing juvenile from being delinquent.

There are two categories of online crimes related to children and adolescents: those committed by adolescents and those committed against children and adolescents. While recent trends in criminal law show consensus on strengthening punishment in cases of crimes against children and adolescents, there are mixed stances in cases of juvenile delinquency. One perspective emphasizes strict punishment, whereas the other emphasizes dispositions aligned with human rights. While various forms of online crime share the commonality in that the main part of the criminal act occurs online, they can be categorized into three types: those seeking financial gain, those driven by sexual motives, and those engaged in bullying. Among these, crimes driven by sexual motives are the most serious. Second-hand trading fraud and conditional (sexual) meeting fraud fall under the category of seeking financial gain and occur frequently. Crimes driven by sexual motives include obscenity via telecommunication, filming with discrete cameras, child and adolescent sexual exploitation material, fake video distribution, and blackmail/coercion using intimate images/videos ("sextortion"). These crimes lead to various legal issues such as whether to view vulgar acronyms or body cams that teenagers frequently use as simple subcultures or crimes, what criteria should be applied to judge whether a recorded material induces sexual desire or shame, and at what stage sexual grooming becomes punishable. For example, sniping posts, KakaoTalk prisons, and chat room explosions are tricky issues, as they may or may not be punished depending on the case. Particular caution should be exercised against the indiscriminate application of a strict punishment-oriented approach to the juvenile justice system, which is being discussed in relation to online sexual offenses. In the punishment case of online crime, juvenile offenders with a high potential for future improvement and reform must be treated with special consideration.
