본 연구는 현재까지 국내에서 제시된 제반 아동대상 성범죄 예방대책에도 불구하고 점증하는 아동대상 성범죄에 초점을 두고, 가해자가 아닌 아동을 중심으 로 이들에게 직접적으로 도움을 줄 수 있는 예방 프로그램을 검토하였다. 구체적으로 프로그램, 연령, 형식 및 기간, 목적, 측정도구 및 분석방법, 연구결과를 기준으로 국내에서 이루어진 아동대상 성범죄 예방 프로그램들의 현황, 강점 및 한계점을 비교분석하였다. 이를 기반으로 효과적인 아동대상 성범죄 예방 프로그램 개발을 위한 방안으로서, 부모와 교사의 참여, 프로그램 진행 기간의 현실화와 연속적 서비스 제공, 객관적 평가를 위한 방안, 그리고 추가되어야 할 목적 등을 제언으로 제시하였다.

The purpose of the Act on The Protection of Children Against Sexual Abuse is to prepare procedures for relieving and assisting victimized children and juveniles, and protecting them against sexual abuse and assisting them to become sound members of society. Any person who commits an offense of indecent act against a child or juvenile shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for a limited term of at least two years or by a fine of at least ten million won, but not more than 30 million won. From the perspective of children and juveniles, protection of their sexual autonomy should have special meaning. Understanding of self, will, sex, age, and environment of children must be considered when the court make decision on the relevant cases. Sexual violence against children must have devastated effect on their development towards a man or woman who fully enjoys his or her own self determination of sex. The case reviewed by this essay is on the issue of medical treatment by pediatrist and indecent act against children patients. The court denied victims’ statement on their victimization as a guess or emotional reaction, not real experiences. Investigators and judges should have special understanding on the characteristics of child victim’s statements on his or her experiences. Most of all, the criminal court in sexual violence cases should pay attention not to the consistency of statement by children, but to the special behaviour and mind of their victimization, and further to the social context of sexual violence.

In our criminal law system, rape and forcible sexual abuse are distinguished, and forcible sexual abuse and public obscenity are also different. Forcible sexual abuse is forcing undesired sexual behavior by one person upon another with force or threat. Nowadays, among some cases the meaning of force is interpreted willfully, so that even though one cannot see forcible sexual abuse, it seems to be the case. So it is advisable that the meaning of force is interpreted narrowly. There is no the offence of sexual abuse in public in our criminal law, but in special law(the Special Act of Sexual Assault) there is an offence of sexual abuse in public. But it is not good way to treat this problem, so it is advisable that the offence of sexual abuse without force should be introduced into the Criminal Act. In the Criminal Act even though sexual abuse and public obscenity is distinguished, the meaning of abuse similar to that of obscenity. To this a case said that the meaning of abuse is harm to one’s sexual determination, and obscenity is harm to public sexual morale.
