유해환경이 청소년 비행에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Many administrators and social workers understand the importance of juvenile delinquency problem among high school students and are introduce its prevention program in the society. However, it seems that environment detrimental to juveniles in contemporary society came to be widely diffused to juveniles by dint of sudden changes in the texture of society from highly industrialized society, which resulted in the destruction of the traditional values and instead brought about luxury, and formed decadent subculture. Furthermore, the reason why may be ascribed to the deterioration of the controllability of home and school, and social indifference, the prevalence of informational pollution of mass media with no right social conscientiousness related to harmful environment, etc. In particular, the recent development of information and communication technologies made it possible for the media of obsceneness to trespass even on student's study room via PC and the Internet.
This environment leads juvenile delinquencies to be on the increase day by day, and came to be spread to younger age, getting more violent. In these contexts, the government proceeds with policy for juvenile protection by revising anew the juvenile protection law, enacted in 1997 in order to protect juveniles from harmful environment.
However little is known about the determinants of the juvenile delinquency behaviors. The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the factors affecting the student's delinquency behaviors and was to apply the comprehensive analysis model developed in the behavior context to understand how these factors affect the juvenile delinquency behaviors. The research model of this study includes various constructs based on anomie theory, differential association theory, labeling theory, and social control theory.
On the ground of comprehensive model and those theories, this research suggests the research model and 9 hypotheses to explain juvenile delinquency behaviors. In order to test the proposed hypotheses, this research developed measurements for each variable. Research constructs are operationalized based on the related literature review and various theories. Items for family, school, and social environment were developed based on the relevant theories and prior studies. Questions to measure three dimensions of the environment media variables detrimental to juvenile were adopted from the previous studies. Items to measure five dimensions of the juvenile delinquency behavior were modified from the previous works to make them relevant to the juvenile delinquency context. The final questionnaire used in main survey (52 items in total) is shown in appendix. The questionnaire is carefully ordered to prevent respondent's common method bias. For the some questionnaires, the multiple-item method is used and each item is measured based on a 5 point Likert scale from 'very rarely' to 'very frequently.'
The main sample consisted of 180 high school students in the Gwangju city. The data were gathered by means of a quota sampling in September of 2004. Overall, of the 200 questionnaires that were distributed, 190 questionnaires were received and 180 were usable. The unit of analysis for this study was the individual student. The hypothesized relationships were tested by the analysis of multiple regression.
The result of this study suggests that the independent variables of family and social environment are important to mediating variable 'environment media detrimental to juvenile' and dependent variable 'juvenile delinquency behavior' than school environment variable does.
The mediating variable 'environment media detrimental to juvenile' are important to dependent variable 'juvenile delinquency behavior,' except for the violence delinquency variable which has no relationship.
In these contexts, the purification of the environment detrimental to juveniles is thought to have the limits in attaining the desired end merely with the regulation and control by police, public prosecutory officials and local autonomous entities. In order for the government policy for juvenile protection to produce satisfactory results, entities such as home, school, and society are required to exert efforts along with common interest, and concurrently with this, legal and institutional mechanisms be established that can support their endeavors. For that purpose, the government first of all needs to recognize the impotance of policy for juveniles, secure specialized manpower, establish and operate an independent department in charge of juvenile affairs.
The purification of environment detrimental to juveniles is deemed to be confronted with its limits in achieving the desired end merely with a certain institution's efforts. In consequence, for the purpose of effectively fostering the pertinent policy, first of all, home, school, and society all should have a deep understanding of such an environment as is detrimental to juveniles and positively take part in purifying the harmful environment with common interest, joint effort, and a sense of social responsibility. Especially, industries related to environment detrimental to juveniles, including mass media, also are expected to reinforce the will of autonomous self-regulation by having a correct understanding of the national emotional standard with a sense of responsibility on the basis of sound ethics and morality.
Even though this research has drawn intellectually and practically meaningful implications, there are a few limitations. First of all, the use of self-reported scales to measure the study variables involves the possibility of the common methods bias for some of the results obtained. In order to pursue further investigation of the conceptual model, it would be appropriate to develop more direct measures for juvenile delinquency behaviors. Secondly, data of this study was collected from the regionally confined high schools. The results might not be generalizable due to the environmental characteristics unique in the region. In order to generalize the results from this study, we need to collect data from various regions.
