Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the history of the pre-war reform schools at the time of the 1933 Education and Protection for Juvenile Delinquents and Child Independence Act that were called "Kankain" or "Syonen Kyogoin" .
We forcused on the state of the children and the agencies for them at the time of the enforced "Syonen Kyogo-ho". We found important records and documents which belonged to some of them, such as the prefectural Wakakoma-gakuen and Syutoku-gakuin, plus the national Musashino-gakuin. By analaysis of those documments we clarified their situations and the activities of their support communities (Syonen Kyogoiin) for child protection and the early detection of juvenile delinquency.
