This study examined the effect of notification policy of sexual offenders against adolescents on enhancing the general public's awareness of sexual crimes. In order to prevent sexual exploitations and violences against, Korean government enacted the Juvenile Sex protection Law in 2000. Until March, 2008, there have been thirteen public notifications of sex offender's personal information. In modern state, matter of protecting the youth is not only a value that has to be protected by the constitution, but also a subject that has to be considered preferentially in the field of legal policy, regarding the youth as a next generation leading the future. The constitution is not a means to freedom of adults, but a rule to guarantee the safety of individual rights. The publicity of sex offender can be considered as a part of active policy of nation, which is intending to guarantee the growth and development of the youth, and is also constitutionally acceptable enough. Punishment on sex offender should be strictly applied through law. But if it is perceived, that can protect the youth and futhermore the protect of sexuality, solutions of this issue are far distant.
