Taking the perspective of children's welfare, this study aimed at critically analyzing the system of notification disposition which institutionalized children have experienced. Notification disposition is a juvenile justice process that, when a child (10 th 18 years old ) has been delinquent or is at risk for delinquency, is initiated without investigation or prosecution procedures by direct notification to a judge from the caregivers, school principals, chief probation officers, or directors of child care institutions. The data used in the analysis included case records of probation offices, and court sentencing documents of juvenile protective dispositions. Results showed that notification cases were initiated by directors of child shelters/care institutions. The most common reasons of notification were theft, runaway, physical violence, drinking, and smoking. Furthermore, there were more controversial reasons, such as "bad influence on another institutionalized children", "showing no remorse", "no sense of guilt"and "challenge of rearing in institutions" Based on the results, we discussed three problematic aspects of the direct notification system by directors of childcare institutions : (1) too much reliance on the judicature judgment of juvenile court; (2) less stability of the judicial status of notified children, and (3) inadequacies of the notifying eligibility for directors of child care institutions.

There has been no studies that compare services of residential care centers, group homes, and foster homes although out-of-home care services differ from each other depending on the types of out-of-home care. This study compared care satisfaction of 481 children in residential care centers, group homes, and foster homes for five years. Futhermore, factors that predict care satisfaction of the children were identified using multi-level modeling analyses. As results, this study found that care satisfaction of children in group homes was the higher than that in foster homes and residential care centers. In addition, self-esteem, social support, and types of out-of-home services were identified as significant predictors of changes in care satisfaction. Based on the study results, suggestions to help children adapt to out-of-home care and improve out-of-home care satisfaction were made.

최근 맞벌이 및 핵가족화 등으로 보호체계가 취약해짐에 따라 아동들을 대상으로 한 범죄가 늘고 있으며, 현재 아동범죄 처벌 강화 등 아동보호 대책들을 마련하고 있지만 예방을 위한 대책이 절실히 필요하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 RTLS(Real Time Location System)를 이용하여 아동의 이동경로를 실시간으로 파악하여, 아동의 위험 상황을 인지하고 보호할 수 있는 아동보호 시스템을 개발하였다. 제안한 시스템은 보호자로 하여금 아동의 실시간 위치 정보를 확인하여 빠른 대처를 통해 아동을 범죄의 위험으로부터 조금이나마 벗어날 수 있게 해줄 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether single-parent family status affects children's school adjustment through children's self-care and media exposure. In addition, the study investigated the mediating effects of self-protection and media exposure of children by analyzing whether single-parent family status has effects on school adjustment through self-care and media exposure of children. For this purpose, we used data of 1,916 students in the 4th grade who participated in the 4th year of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS). The results of the structural equation modeling showed that single-parent family environment not only had direct effects on the school adjustment, but also had effects on school adjustment through self-care of children. In addition, it was revealed that self-care of children influenced school adjustment through media exposure. One of the covariates, monthly income of households, did not affect the level of children's self-care. This result draws attention to the problems of the structural deficit of single-parent families. Therefore, political measures that correspond to the structural characteristics and special needs of single-parent families, along with their current financial support, are needed to improve the level of school adjustment of children from single-parent families.
