Due to the increase in juvenile crimes in South Korea, there has been a rise in voices claiming that the punishment for juveniles should be strengthened. Especially, as crimes committed by young children were shown in various media, some argue that children should get the same sentence that is for adults. This paper identifies the current juvenile justice system in South Korea, compares its problems with those of other countries, and suggests a solution.
