The current juvenile law has to be improved in the following respects: First, there is no clear and objective basis for the process divided into criminal and protective dispositions. Second, the spirit of legislation to protect the boy is understandable, but when reviewing the application process of the juvenile law to actual juvenile crimes, it is hard to find such spirit. Third, in dealing with juvenile protection cases, the outcome and process of disposal should be reflected in the boy's protection ideology. Finally, efforts should be made to shorten the processing period of the case, curb the transfer of violent criminals to juvenile detention center, and integrate the latter part of the first and sixth disposition.
