Placement and counseling of youth in Juvenile Proceeding Act had been operated for over a decade. During this period, lots of researchers dedicated themselves in this area and did in-depth researches. Nonetheless, most related papers based their arguments on the importance of placement and counseling of youth. The problem is that when Juvenile Proceeding Act enforced placement and counseling of youth, were there firm theoretical footing or empirical support? In reality, Placement and counseling of youth often face challenges such as the lack of resources, the lack of judicial resources needed in welfare fill-in, the lack of supplementary measures, as well as the growth of recidivism rate. Furthermore, many researchers suggest that this system, when in practice, resulted in lots of drawbacks, and thus argued that placement and counseling of youth should be removed from Juvenile Proceeding Act and retreat to its place in social-political domain. This article discusses not only the processing procedure of placement and counseling of youth in Juvenile Proceeding Act at the present day, but also illustrates different opinions regarding whether placement and counseling of youth should still be kept in Juvenile Proceeding Act. In addition, the researcher interviewed 12 first line practitioners and asked them to conclude from their past experience with placement and counseling of youth in their opinions, while proposing useful suggestions at the same time. The findings from this research can be used as references for farther research or the modification of law. |
