본 논문은 두 단계의 이민정책으로서 지역특화형 비자 제도를 분석하 며, 그 사례로 부산시의 도입 및 운영을 중심으로 다룬다. 이 제도는 지 역 인구 감소와 경제적 문제에 대응하여 외국인 인재를 특정 지역에 유 치하고 지역 경제 활성화를 도모하기 위해 도입되었다. 본 논문에서는 부산시가 서구, 동구, 영도구를 대상으로 추진한 지역특화형 비자 사업의 성과와 한계를 평가하고, 중앙정부와의 협력 및 지역자치단체의 역할을 중심으로 정책 집행상의 어려움을 분석한다. 연구 결과, 비자 제도가 인 구 및 경제 문제 해결에 긍정적인 가능성을 보이나, 정부 간 협력과 지 역적 역량 부족이 효과를 제한하는 주요 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 분 석을 바탕으로, 지역 자율성과 비자 관리의 효율성을 높이기 위한 정책 개선 방안을 제안하며, 이는 한국 내 지역 맞춤형 이민정책의 발전에 중 요한 시사점을 제공한다.

This article traces the process in which gender-specific approach was emerged to rehabilitate female offenders in the United States and introduces a few promising gender specific programs for female juvenile delinquents. Gender-specific services refer according to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention(OJJDP) the correctional services that are designed to meet the unque needs of female offenders; that value the female perspective; that celebrate and honor the female experience; that respect and take into account female development; that empower girls and young women to reach their full potential; and that work to change established attitudes that prevent or discourage girls and young women from reaching their potential. The emergence of the gender-specific approach can be explained by two factors. empirically, female offenders, especially female delinquents, have been one of the fastest growing criminal population since the 1900s. Correctional personnel recognised the role of gender-sensitive correctional programming to curtail the size of female delinquent population. They realized many current services for juveniles are aimed at the rehabilitation and education of male delinquents. Second, many criminological research based on feminist perspective have found that female offenders are quite different from male offenders in various ways; girls are incarcerated for status offenses that boys; girls develop self-esteem and female identity differently; girls are pressured to conform the traditional gender roles and the gender stereotyping plays a central role in creating female delinquents; girls have gender unique problems such as physical, sexual abuse, domestic violence and adolescent pregnancy. The combination of these two trends resulted in the amendment of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, in which states should review the issue of gender bias in the current juvenile correctional programs before receiving federal

The paper empirically examines the bank-specific determinants of loan growth in the Vietnamese banking system for the period from 2007 to 2019. We approach the CAMELS framework and employ the dynamic panel regression to determine the effects of each CAMELS factor on bank lending. To ensure the robustness of results, we also use alternative definitions of the variables and different specifications with and without full sets of CAMELS components. With these settings, we display multiple important results. (i) We find that a large capital buffer tends to boost bank lending expansion faster. (ii) High asset quality might positively contribute to high loan growth; in other words, banks subject to high credit risk are discouraged from making loans. (iii) Less efficiently managed banks are more likely to adopt an aggressive lending strategy, highlighting the moral hazard incentives of Vietnamese banks. (iv) More profitable banks with excellent competitive advantages could expand their lending activities to a larger extent. (v) Liquidity is positively related to the loan growth of banks. (vi) Perceived interest rate risk tends to suppress loan growth since interest-rate-sensitive banks might be concerned about the adverse effects of unpredictable adverse changes in interest rates in the future.
