18 to provide professional service. Education, Treatment, etc. for Child Abusers 81. Offenders who are not subject to the court's protective disposition, order, or punishment hardly volunteer to complete education or therapy recommended by a child protection agency. While the Child Welfare Act states that child abusers shall conscientiously participate in education and psychological therapy when the head of each child protection agency recommends them to do so, there is no sanctions against those who do not participate. 82. As of 2016, the most frequent service provided to offenders was counseling, 78.1%. Offenders ordered by the court were offered with offender entrusted program, 8.4%, psychological therapy, 6.4%, child family bonding service, 1.4%, medical service, 3.3%, etc. The violated children were provided with counseling, 48.9%, temporary sheltering, 32.5%, psychological therapy, 7.4%, family bonding service, 2.5%, etc. Parents or family of the violated children were provided with counseling, 89.9%, psychological therapy, 4.5%, family bonding service, 2.4%, etc. Counseling tops the list of services with family oriented intervention program and service being insufficient. Public Defender for Child Victims 83. The NHRCK recommended the Minister of Justice in 2016 that a public defender shall be assigned to a victim in the course of criminal procedure as well as for a victim protection order case in order to provide a victim with substantive support. However, the Ministry of Justice has declined to accept the recommendation as it might go against a victim's wish and it would be better to rely on the court's comprehensive judgment. 2) Questions 84.
