This paper concerns a Jacobson-type radical for the near-ring N. This radical, denoted by Js(N) has an external representation on a type-0N-group of a very special kind. Such N-groups are said to be of type-s. The main objective of this paper is to decompose Js(N) as a sum Js(N) = J1/2(N) + A + B for N satisfying the descending chain condition for N-subgroups. In this decomposition J1/2(N) is nilpotent and A is the unique minimal ideal modulo which Js(N) is nilpotent.
