An Ethical Review of Social Work Intervention in Juvenile Judicial Correction

Аннотация

The law provides a rigid framework to regulate the behavior of juveniles involved in crimes, while the participation of social work provides them with flexible services and humanistic care. The principles of social work such as acceptance, individualization, non-judgment, confidentiality, and professional ethics highlight its professional strengths. Social workers provide services to clients within the framework of ethical codes, but sometimes the ethical codes may be affected by real situations. This paper takes the case of the social work agency where I used to work as a research object to find out the ethical dilemmas in juvenile justice social work services and explore the alternative paths of ethical choices.
