- Focusing on Middle and High School Students in Daegu area-
The purpose of this study was to study social work implication for prevention of juvenile delinquency by analyzing the influence of self-efficacy and interpersonal relations on delinquency of students who attend middle and high school in Deagu metropolitan area.
The survey was conducted from January 6, 2007 to February 7, 2007. The total number of subjects who participated in the survey was 254. The results of this study can be mainly outlined as below.
1. The degree of juvenile delinquency was 9.37(SD=14.291) in average. The analysis indicated that 52.8% of the subject belong to the 'student degree delinquency behavior' group, 47.2% of the 'juvenile delinquency degree delinquency behavior' group.
2. For the self-efficacy as internal factor. it showed no significant effect on juvenile delinquency.
3. It was found that juvenile delinquency level was significantly associated with the degree of relationshipwith teacher(=-.169, t=-2.402, p<.05), whereas relationship with parents and friends were not significantly associated with juvenile delinquency
4. Finally, it was found that the most influential factor associated with delinquency level was relationship with teacher(=-.169, t=-2.314, p<.05).
With these results, intervention strategies for social work practice can be suggested as follows. Firstly, social welfare service programs are needed for delinquent students in order to decrease and to take care of their delinquency behavior. Secondly, we need institutional support in order to provide social support in school environment for the student. For example, we need the School Welfare Expert in order to make school program for the student.
