아동학대 예방을 위한 아동복지 연구에서 몇 가지 성찰적 논의

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore a new solution model of prevention of child abuse. Child abuse has been one of the most urgent social problem in Korea since beginning of the 21st century. The present study proposed a ‘Safe and Caring’ model for prevention of child abuse and for promotion of related research. Because, the old model, ‘Report and Punishment’ model is not only a way of post management approach but also some considerable limitations for prevention of child abuse. The present study discussed the necessity and rationalization of the ‘Safe and Caring’ model through the review of related theories of personality and moral philosophy. Especially, two moral concepts of Kant, the ‘motive of inclination’ and the ‘motive of duty’ were applied as essential themes to explain and to justify new ‘Safe and Caring’ model. On the basis of above discussions, the present study recommends several further research ideas for the prevention of child abuse and the development of ‘Safe and Caring’ model in the point of child welfare studies.
