Abstract

This study was conducted to find the direction of a sex education program that can be applied to delinquent adolescents based on the results of interviewing 7 delinquent adolescents who were discharged from the facility on sexual knowledge, sexual attitude, and sex education. The delinquent adolescents did not adapt properly to facility life and had experiences of running away and being exposed to delinquency. Their sexual knowledge and attitude were distorted without an opportunity to access correct information because they were approached through an acquaintance or the Internet. In addition, since sexual knowledge from the perspective of adult rights was not established, sexual problems were occurring even in relationships with friends of the opposite sex, and female research participants were placed in the crime of 'grooming'. Regarding sexual attitudes, it was found that they were lonely rather than having an open attitude due to the right to sexual self-determination, and they were dating because there were other children. Based on this sexual knowledge and attitude, the direction of the sex education program was proposed. First, it is necessary to develop and apply it in consideration of the target audience and environment. Second, the contents should be structured so that sexual values and awareness of adult rights can be cultivated. Third, the experience-oriented sex education program is more suitable for the sex education of delinquent adolescents than the knowledge-oriented sex education program. Fourth, it is necessary to regulate the commercialization of digital sex. Fifth, the problem of unsatisfied deprivation in life in facilities must be resolved.
