The book deals with three interconnected themes. The first is the description of main
features of juvenile criminal justice in such diverse countries as Thailand, China, Germany,
France, and England. The second is the argument that education is the essential principle of any
juvenile delinquency justice system, and that the most important part of education must be moral
instruction of young offenders. The third theme of the book is that world religions are
indispensable for carrying out successful educational programs directed towards the formation of
good conscience among young people. Three religious traditions are explored: Buddhism,
Confucianism, and Christianity. The presentation of the educational potential of the world
religions draws upon the experience of the author as a volunteer teacher in a Thai juvenile
correction institution.
