少年非行と家庭裁判所の福祉実践

抄録

Juvenile delinquency is one of the social problems which stem from the contradictions of a capitalistic society. The problem has two dimensions: a social problem throughout the process of rearing children, on the one hand, and a social policy related to social defense, on the other. To achieve healthy development of children in the present society, it is essential that we understand the problem from this comprehensive point of view.
In this thesis, I deal with the present problem of juvenile deinquency as a product of the age of a structural crisis of monopolistic capitalism in the 1960-1970 period. In the first place, I seek to demonstrate that delinquents are those who are deprived of their rights to learn, labour and develop. In the second place, I seek to demonstrate that the present judicial policy is interfering with fulfillment of these children's rights and will ultimately lose effectiveness in solving this social problem. And finally, I submit some proposals in relation to problem-solving by analyzing two functions of judicial social-work; namaly, the functions of educational and material support.
