Survey Research on Long-term Absent Students Including Assumption of Abused and/or Juvenile Delinquent Cases : Making a Guideline for School Faculty Members

本研究的目的是：1）调查长期缺课学生辍学类型的实际情况（Hoozen，2000年），2）在全国范围内重新审查学龄期受虐待案件的核实情况。存在危险的长期缺席案件，高度怀疑有虐待背景。考虑到法律的规定，最后的讨论如下：1）关于学校教职员如何处理诸如父母拒绝探视等困难案件的指导方针，2）学校和教职员处理方法的限制，以及3）学校何时以及如何与其他机构合作。

This research was carried out 1) to survey the actual situation of dropout type of long-term absent students (Hosaka, 2000) in a certain prefecture, who show tendencies of truancy and/or delinquency caused by poor socio-economic conditions, and 2) to nationally re-examine the verifications of abused cases during school age.As a result, there existed dangerous long-term absent cases with high suspicion of abused backgrounds. Taking legal stipulations into account, the final discussions were as follows: 1) guidelines on how school faculties should approach difficult cases such as those whose parents refuse visits, 2) the limitations of approach made by the school and faculty members, and 3) when and how the school should cooperate with other institutions.
