텍스트마이닝을 활용한 성범죄 사건언론보도 헤드라인에 대한 연구

안재경 세명대학교 인문사회과학연구소 2024 人文 社會科學硏究 Vol.32 No.1

· 연구 주제: 2013년 1월 1일부터 2022년 12월 31일까지 주요 종합일간지 11곳에서 보도된 성범죄 관련 기사 7,037건을 대상으로 텍스트마이닝 분석을 통해 성범죄 보도의 경향성을 탐색하였다. · 연구 배경: 성범죄 사건에 대한 언론의 신속하고 반복적인 보도는 범죄의 실체를 대중들에게 전달하는 역할을 할 수 있지만, 동시에 그 피해자에게 2차 피해를 야기할 뿐 아니라 범죄 현상에 대한 대중의 인식과 여론을 형성하는데 잠재적으로 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 성범죄는 강간, 강제추행과 같은 전통적인 성범죄 뿐 아니라 카메라등이용촬영죄와 같은 새로운 방식의 비접촉 성범죄 등을 포함한다는 점에서 다양한 형태의 범죄행위를 포함한다. 이러한 점에서, 언론의 보도는 성범죄의 유형에 따라 다양한 양상을 띨 것으로 보인다. · 선행연구와의 차이점: 국내에서 유형별 성범죄 보도에 대한 경험적 분석을 실시한 연구가 매우 제한적이고, 현존하는 언론보도 분석 연구들은 대다수가 강력범죄에 한하였거나, 이론적 내지 규범적 연구에 그치는 등 경험적 연구가 충분하지 않다. · 연구방법: 언론기사의 분석자료 수집은 뉴스빅데이터 분석시스템 빅카인즈(https://www.bigkinds.or.kr)의 자료를 활용했고, 2013년 1월 1일 부터 2022년 12월 31일까지 총 10년치의 자료를 사용, 텍스트마이닝 분석을 사용해 미디어의 성범죄 보도를 분석했다. · 연구결과: 성범죄 보도에서는 '혐의', '논란', '의혹'과 같은 키워드들이 범죄 가해자에 대한 부정적인 이미지 형성, 편견의 조장, 범죄 행위의 폭력성 및 선정성 강조, 피해자 신분 노출 등을 유발하는 보도 관행에 기여하고 있음이 확인되었다. 이러한 양상은 언론의 책임감 있는 보도와 공정성 유지, 피의자의 무죄 추정 원칙 및 피해자 사생활 보호의 필요성을 대비시킨다. · 공헌점 및 기대효과: 본 연구는 언론의 성범죄 보도의 양상을 그 유형별로 나누어 살펴보고, 일정한 패턴을 발견하였다는 점에서 의의를 가진다. 본 연구는 성범죄 보도가 가지는 복잡성과 다양성을 이해하는 데 기여하며, 언론이 성범죄 보도 시 고려해야 할 윤리적 및 법적 지침에 대한 중요성을 강조한다. 성범죄 보도의 현상을 경험적으로 분석함으로써, 언론보도의 개선점 및 형사정책적 시사점을 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다. · Research topics: This study explored the tendencies in reports on sexual crimes by conducting a text mining analysis of 7,037 articles related to sexual offenses reported by 11 major comprehensive daily newspapers from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022. · Research background: While the media's swift and repetitive reporting on sexual crime cases can play a role in conveying the reality of crimes to the public, it can also cause secondary harm to the victims and potentially have a negative impact on the public's perception and opinion of crime phenomena. Sexual crimes include not only traditional offenses such as rape and sexual assault but also non-contact sexual crimes like illegal filming with cameras, encompassing a variety of criminal acts. From this perspective, media reports are expected to show diverse aspects depending on the type of sexual crime. · Differences from prior research: In Korea, empirical analyses on the reporting of different types of sexual crimes are extremely limited, and the existing studies on media reporting are mostly confined to violent crimes or are theoretical or normative, with insufficient empirical research. · Research method: The analysis of media articles was conducted using data from the news big data analysis system, BigKinds (https://www.bigkinds.or.kr), utilizing data spanning ten years from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022, and analyzed using text mining. · Research results: The study found that in reports on sexual crimes, keywords such as "allegations," "controversy," and "suspicion" contribute to the practice of reporting that fosters a negative image of the perpetrators, encourages prejudice, emphasizes the violence and sensationalism of criminal acts, and exposes the identity of victims. These aspects contrast the need for responsible and fair reporting by the media, the principle of the presumption of innocence for suspects, and the protection of victims' privacy. · Contribution points and expected effects: This study is significant as it examines the patterns in media reporting of sexual crimes by type and discovers certain patterns. It contributes to understanding the complexity and diversity of reporting on sexual crimes and emphasizes the importance of ethical and legal guidelines that the media should consider when reporting on sexual crimes. By empirically analyzing the phenomenon of sexual crime reporting, the study aims to provide improvements for media reporting and implications for criminal policy.

성폭력범죄 피해실태와 개정법상 피해자보호 및 지원방안

이희경(Lee, Heekyung) 한국피해자학회 2013 被害者學硏究 Vol.21 No.2

A series of special criminal law amendments were made this past December 18, 2012 in relation to sexually violent crimes, including the Criminal Act, Special Act on the Punishment, Etc. of Sexually Violent Crimes, and Act on the Protection of Children and Young Adults. The most distinguishing features of the December 2012 amendments include the full abolishment of provisions that make the prosecution of these crimes contingent on the victim’s filing a criminal complaint, and the change of language in the object of sexual crimes from “woman” to “person,” thus recognizing male victims of sexual crimes. In addition, the Special Act on the Punishment, Etc. of Sexually Violent Crimes provided legal basis for the protection and support for the victims of sex crimes, including victim’s counsel to prevent harm to the victim arising from the criminal process and to provide legal aid, witness support officers to protect and support the victims and others who stand witness, and witness assistants to provide assistance to those witnesses who have difficulty communicating. Victims of sexually violent crimes face such a difficult battle to reclaim their normal lives that they are termed “survivors.” The state has too much responsibility in failing to prevent these crimes in the first place to leave victims on their own to survive and overcome. Therefore, in addition to extending all efforts to efficiently implement the new systems in the amendments of December 2012 including victim’s counsel, witness support officers, and witness assistants, both the state and society must strive to discover and mend any deficiency in the preexisting solutions for sexual violence so that victims of sexual violence can reclaim their lives. Most of all, the best means to protect the victims of sexual violence is to prevent sexually violent crimes so there are no victims in the first place. To this end, means are necessary to prevent convicted sex criminals from committing future crimes given the high recidivism rate of these crimes, and also to prevent the victimization of potentially vulnerable groups through prevention education and the preparation and promotion of manuals on dealing with sexual violence. Sexual violence prevention education, far from being a formality to comply with mandatory regulations, should be made into effective tools to prevent sexual violence.

주거침입 성폭력범죄에 관한 소고 -성폭력범죄의 실행의 착수시기를 중심으로

이정덕 사법발전재단 2023 사법 Vol.1 No.66

현행법은 주거침입죄를 범한 경우 “3년 이하의 징역 또는 500만 원 이하의 벌금”에 처하고, 성폭력범죄 중 가장 무거운 강간죄를 범한 경우 “3년 이상의 유기징역”에 처한다고 정하고 있다. 한편 주거침입죄를 범한 사람이 성폭력범죄를 범한 경우 “무기징역 또는 7년 이상의 징역”에 처한다고 정하고 있다. 즉, 주거침입죄를 범한 사람이 성폭력범죄를 범한 경우 주거침입죄와 성폭력범죄를 각각 범한 경우보다 훨씬 무겁게 처벌하는 것이다. 주거침입 성폭력범죄에 있어 주거침입죄와 성폭력범죄의 선후관계에 관하여 보면 주거침입죄가 기수에 이른 후 성폭력범죄의 실행의 착수가 있어야 한다. 성폭력범죄의 실행의 착수가 주거침입 전에 발생한 경우 주거침입 성폭력범죄는 성립하지 않고, 성폭력범죄와 주거침입죄의 실체적 경합범이 성립할 수 있을 뿐이다. 따라서 성폭력범죄의 실행의 착수시기를 검토하여야 하는데, 성폭력범죄의 유형을 ① 강제추행죄, ② 강간죄, 유사강간죄, ③ 준강간죄, 준유사강간죄, 준강제추행죄로 나누어 각 유형별 실행의 착수시기를 검토하고, 강제추행죄에서의 기습추행과 유사강간죄에 있어 기습유사강간 등 실행의 착수시기가 문제 되는 특수한 유형에 대해서도 살펴본다. 그 후 주거침입죄와 성폭력범죄의 선후관계가 문제 되는 구체적인 사례를 ‘신체의 일부를 통한 주거침입과 거의 동시에 또는 그 직후에 유형력이 행사된 경우’와 ‘주거침입 이전에 유형력이 행사된 경우’를 하급심판결과 함께 살펴보고, 주거침입죄와 성폭력범죄 사이에 선후관계를 요구하는 현행법의 태도가 입법론적으로 타당한지에 대하여도 일본의 강도강간죄 관련 형법의 개정과 함께 검토한다. 끝으로 주거침입 후 비로소 성폭력범죄의 고의가 발생한 경우, 주거침입의 피해자와 성폭력범죄의 피해자가 다른 경우, 주거침입 후 상당한 시간이 경과한 후 성폭력범죄를 저지른 경우에 주거침입 성폭력범죄가 성립할 수 있는지에 관하여 살펴본다. The current Korean criminal law stipulates that if a person commits a home invasion crime, he or she will be punished by “imprisonment for not more than 3 years or a fine of not more than 5 million won,” and if he or she commits the crime of rape, which is the most serious offense among sexual violence crimes, he or she will be punished by “imprisonment for a limited period of 3 years or more.” Meanwhile, it is stipulated that if a person who invaded another person’s dwelling committed a sexual assault crime (hereinafter referred to “home invasion sexual violence crime”), he or she will be punished by “life imprisonment or imprisonment for 7 years or more.” In other words, if a person commits a home invasion sexual violence crime, he or she will be punished much more severely than if one who committed a home invasion crime and a sexual assault crime on separate occasions. Regarding the chronological relationship between a home invasion and a sexual violence offense in a home invasion sexual violence crime, the home invasion should be committed and completed prior to the commencement of the sexual violence crime. If the commencement of the sexual violence crime preceded the home invasion, the home invasion sexual violence crime cannot be established, and in that case, sexual violence crimes and home invasion crimes will be in a relationship where different criminal acts constitute multiple criminal offenses. Hence, it is crucial to examine the timing of the commencement of sexual violence conduct. The types of sexual violence crimes are divided into ① indecent assault, ② rape, imitative rape [the term “imitative rape” refers to the rape by means of violence or intimidation, insertion of one’s sexual organ into another’s bodily part (excluding a genital organ), such as mouth or anus, or insertion of one’s finger or other bodily part (excluding a genital organ) or any instrument into another’s genital organ or anus], and ③ quasi-rape, quasi-imitative rape, and quasi-indecent assault (the term “quasi” indicates the act in question was carried out by taking advantage of another’s condition of unconsciousness or inability to resist. This article will review the timing of the commencement of each type of the above acts. Special cases involving sudden indecent assault and sudden imitative rape will also be explored. Subsequently, specific cases that raise questions about the chronological relationship between home invasion crimes and sexual violence crimes are considered. The legislative approach in current Korean criminal law that requires a chronological relationship between home invasion crimes and sexual violence crimes is reviewed along with the revision of Japanese criminal law related to the crime of robbery and rape. Finally, the analysis delves into whether home invasion sexual violence crimes can be established in cases where: (a) the intent of sexual violence emerged only after the home invasion; (b) the victims of home invasion and sexual violence are different; and (c) the commission of a sexual violence crime came after a considerable amount of time has passed since the home invasion took place.

여성 북한이탈주민의 성범죄 취약성이 성폭력 범죄피해두려움에 미치는 영향: 한국 사회 적응을 중심으로

이규범 한국공안행정학회 2024 한국공안행정학회보 Vol.33 No.1

최근 사회적 약자를 대상으로 한 범죄가 끊임없이 발생하고 있다. 특히 여성 그리고 북한이탈주민은 우리 사회가 함께 나아가야 할 대상임에도 불구하고 이들을 대상으로 한 범죄는 계속적으로 발생하고 있다. 북한이탈주민에 대한 범죄피해두려움에 관한 연구는 지속적으로 수행되어지고 있으나, 북한이탈주민의 여성에 대한 성폭력 범죄피해두려움에 관한 연구는 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 북한이탈주민의 여성을 대상으로 한 성폭력 범죄에 있어서 이들이 가지는 범죄피해의 두려움을 연구하고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구의 목적을 달성하고자 북한이탈주민의 여성을 대상으로 온라인 및 오프라인의 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 북한이탈주민의 여성은 성범죄 취약성이 성폭력 범죄피해두려움에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으며, 한국 사회에 대한 적응 역시 성폭력 범죄피해두려움에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 본 연구의 주 목적인 한국사회의 적응이 성범죄 취약성과 성폭력 범죄피해두려움에 있어서 어떠한 조절효과를 가지는 가를 분석한 결과, 성범죄 취약성과 한국 사회 적응은 성폭력 범죄피해두려움에 통계적으로 유의미한 결과로 확인되었다. 즉, 북한이탈주민의 여성은 성범죄에 있어서 취약하다고 인식할수록 그리고 한국 사회에 대한 적응이 높음에도 불구하고 성폭력 범죄에 있어서는 더욱 높은 성폭력 범죄피해두려움을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 북한이탈주민의 여성을 대상으로 한 성폭력 범죄에 있어서 치안정책의 기초자료 토대를 구성하고자 하였다. Recently, crimes targeting socially vulnerable people are constantly occurring. In particular, although women and North Korean defectors are targets that our society must move forward with, crimes against them continue to occur. Research on North Korean defectors' fear of being victimized by crime is continuously conducted, but research on North Korean defectors' fear of being victimized by sexual violence against women is limited. Accordingly, this study sought to study the fear of crime victimization among North Korean defectors in relation to sexual violence crimes against women. Accordingly, to achieve the purpose of this study, an online and offline survey was conducted targeting female North Korean defectors. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the vulnerability of North Korean defector women to sexual crimes affects their fear of being victims of sexual violence crimes, and that their adaptation to Korean society also affects their fear of being victims of sexual violence crimes. In addition, as a result of analyzing the moderating effect that adaptation to Korean society, which is the main purpose of this study, has on vulnerability to sexual crime and fear of sexual violence crime victimization, vulnerability to sexual crime and adaptation to Korean society were confirmed to be statistically significant results in fear of sexual violence crime victimization. It was confirmed that the more North Korean defector women perceived themselves as vulnerable to sexual crimes, the more they had a higher fear of being victimized by sexual violence crimes, despite their high level of adaptation to Korean society. Therefore, this study sought to construct a basic data base for security policy regarding sexual violence crimes targeting female North Korean defectors.

청소년대상 성폭력범죄 처벌규정의 현황과 개선방안

이천현 ( Lee Cheon-hyun ) 한국소년정책학회 2009 少年保護硏究 Vol.12 No.-

The current laws that state the punishment policy on the sexual crimes against juveniles include the following: Criminal Act, Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes and Protection of Victims Thereof, Act on the Prevention of Juveniles from Sexual Abuse, Child Welfare Act, and Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes. However, according to the current system, the punishment policy on the sexual crime against juveniles, basically, is not separated from that against adults. In other words, the penal code of criminal act and criminal special act apply for all of the ages of recipients and do not distinguish adult and juvenile. Special penal code for under 20 year old and 13 year old, exceptionally, are only existed. Act on the Prevention of Juveniles from Sexual Abuse provides a part of aggravated punishment penal code for the "Under 19 year old juveniles" and Child Welfare Act, and Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes provides related penal codes as well. Since those punishment policies on the sexual crimes including the crime against juveniles exist in many laws in various forms, a number of issues have been brought -- for example, an imbalance of statutory penalty, a difficulty of legal applications, unfair punishments, a difficulty of solving a legal conflict between penal code and criminal special act, a decrease of the effect of an incongruity on the punishment policy, a concern of excessive punishments, and etc. Thus, this paper synthetically investigates the contents of the sexual crimes that have lied in many laws in various forms, especially the policy of the sexual crime against juveniles under 20 years old, and provides the solutions of them.

제8회 한,중 형법 국제 학술심포지엄 : 성윤리(性倫理)와 형법(刑法) -성풍속범죄(性風俗犯罪)에 대한 형법적(刑法的) 규제(規制)-

이경재 ( Kyung Jae Lee ) 한국비교형사법학회 2010 비교형사법연구 Vol.12 No.2

This article aims to analyse the statutes and cases as to sexual moral crimes which involve sexual ethics in society and make a proposal of idealistic sexual criminal law. Out current criminal law deals with sexual crimes in the way that divides sexual violent crimes with sexual moral crimes: the former violates the private right of sexual self-determination, and the latter decays the public decency. Of them the sexual moral crimes involve social environment and ethics. Especially the statues and cases of sexual moral crimes reflect social ever-changing ethics after 1990s and the perspectives of the scholars and specialists. And a various of NGO as well as interest groups have deeply involved with the legislation of kinds of sexual criminal laws just like Prostitution Act, Protection of Juvenile sex Act, Sexual Violence Act etc. To regulate sexual moral crimes reasonably, I suggest, needs the following alternative: to extract ethical element from the criminal law, respect the private right of sexual self-determination, keep alert about penal populism, and in the end, it is required that sexual moral crimes must be decriminalized and sex crimes are integrated in terms of the right of sexual self-determination.

일본의 성범죄 처벌규정에 관한 형법개정에 대하여

김잔디(Kim Jan Di) 대검찰청 2018 형사법의 신동향 Vol.0 No.59

2017년 6월 16일 일본에서는 성범죄 처벌규정의 개정을 골자로 하는 ‘형법의 일부를 개정하는 법률’이 성립하여 7월 13일부터 시행되었다. 1907년 일본 형법이 제정된 이후 처음으로 성범죄 처벌규정이 대폭 개정된 것이다. 형법 제정 후 110년 동안 집단에 의한 강간죄 등의 비친고죄화, 성범죄 처벌규정의 인상 등의 개정이 행해졌지만 기본적인 구성요건은 제정 당시와 동일한 틀을 유지하고 있었다. 하지만 이러한 규정들이 현재의 성범죄 실태를 제대로 반영하고 있지 않다고 비판되어 왔고, 이에 처벌상의 불균형을 해소하고 성범죄 피해자를 보호하기 위한 성범죄 처벌규정의 개정을 주장하는 목소리가 높아지게 되어 본 개정이 이루어지게 된 것이다. 주요 개정 내용은 ① 강간죄의 구성요건을 수정하고 법정형을 인상하여 ‘강제성교등(强制性交等)죄’를 신설한 것, ② 감호자음란 및 감호자성교등죄를 신설한 것, ③ 강도강간죄를 수정하여 강도·강제성교등의 죄를 신설한 것, ④ 강제음란죄, 강제성교등죄의 성범죄를 비친고죄로 한 것 등이라고 할 수 있다. 성범죄 처벌규정의 개정을 위한 입안단계, 국회 심의단계에서 실무가, 학자, 정신과의사, 임상심리전문가 뿐만 아니라 성범죄 피해자에 이르기까지 다양한 분야의 사람들의 의견을 반영하였다는 점이 높게 평가할 만하다고 하겠으며, 개정 내용은 우리나라 이론 및 실무에 시사하는 바가 크다고 생각된다. 이번 개정으로 일본의 이론은 물론 실무에도 큰 영향을 줄 것이라고 예측되며 앞으로의 적용이 주목된다. On June 16, 2017, the “Law Amending a Part of the Penal Code,” which mainly addresses the amendment of penalties for sex crimes, was enacted in Japan, and the law went into enforcement on July 13. Thus, the punishment for sexual crimes has been drastically revised for the first time since the enactment of the Japanese Penal Code in 1907, For 110 years after the enactment of the Penal Code, there were amendments such as toughening the penalties for sexual crimes and prescribing sexual crimes such as group rape as offences indictable without complaint. However, the basic constitutional requirements of the Penal Code had remained the same as when it was first enacted in 1907. Based on the criticism that existing penalties do not properly reflect the actual situation of current sexual crimes and in response to the heightened voices claiming for the amendment of penalties for sexual crimes, the amendment of the Penal Code was enacted to solve the imbalance of punishment between sexual crimes and other penal crimes and to protect sex crime victims. The main amendments were: (1) revising the consitutional requirements of rape and raising the statutory penalty to newly establish criminal laws on offences such as forced sexual intercourse; (2) establishing new criminal laws on offences such as obscene act and sexual intercourse of people in custody; (3) revising criminal laws on robbery rape to newly establish criminal laws on offences such as robbery and forced intercourse; (4) and prescribing sexual crimes such as forced obscene act and forced sexual intercourse as offences indictable without complaint. This amendment is highly appreciated in that it reflected the opinions of people from various fields including practitioners, scholars, psychiatrists, and clinical psychologists as well as sex crime victims in the drafting stage and the deliberation stage at the Parliament for revising the penalties for sexual crimes. The contents of the amendment have great implications for legal theories and practices in Korea. It is expected that this amendment will have a great impact on the penal theories and practices in Japan while its future application will be noted by the legal circles as well as the general public in Japan.

미디어 노출 정도에 따른 디지털 성범죄 인식에 미치는 영향

김미선 한국중독범죄학회 2020 한국중독범죄학회보 Vol.10 No.4

디지털 성범죄는 피해자가 주로 여성이고, 성적 영상물이 미디어에 노출되면 영구삭제가 불가능하다는 점에서 심각한 젠더폭력에 해당된다. 하지만 여전히 디지털 성범죄를 장난 혹 은 남성 집단의 놀이문화로 생각하는 등 디지털 성범죄에 대한 낮은 죄의식과 인식 부족이 관 련 범죄를 확산시킨다고 볼 수 있다. 이미 많은 연구에서도 디지털 성범죄를 예방하기 위해 일차적으로 범죄에 대한 정확한 이해와 인식 개선의 필요성을 강조하고 있다. 따라서 이 연구 는 현 시점에서 디지털 성범죄에 대한 국민의 인식 수준이 어느 정도인지 살펴보고자 하였다. 특히 디지털 성범죄의 유포행위는 인터넷 등 미디어 공간을 활용한다는 점에서 미디어 이용 자에 따른 디지털 성범죄에 대한 인식 차이가 있는지 검증하고, 이를 토대로 예방 대책을 마 련하고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 음란물의 접촉 빈도가 높거나 음란물을 타인에게 공유한 경험이 있다고 응답한 사람은 본인 스스로 디지털 성범죄를 잘 알고 있다고 인지하는 것으로 나타났다. 디지털 성범 죄에 대한 정확한 이해는 해당 범죄의 가해 및 피해를 예방할 수 있다. 하지만 음란물 등 유 해매체를 통해 디지털 성범죄를 이해했다면 자칫 왜곡된 정보일 가능성을 배제할 수 없을 것 이다. 디지털 성범죄에 대한 잘못된 개념 정립은 오히려 관련 범죄를 악용하거나 단순한 놀이 문화로 인식될 수 있다는 점을 고려하여 디지털 성범죄에 대한 태도를 형성하는데 있어서 정 보를 주로 어디서부터 얻게 되는지가 무엇보다 중요함을 시사한다. 따라서 미디어의 올바른 이용 촉진을 위한 미디어 리터러시 교육을 강조하였다. Digital sexual crime is a serious gender violence in that the victim is mainly female. Since digital sexual crimes are regarded as a male play culture, it can be seen that the low guilt and lack of awareness about digital sex crimes spreads related crimes. Many studies have already emphasized the need to improve accurate understanding and awareness of crimes in order to prevent digital sexual crimes. Therefore, this study attempted to examine the level of public perception of digital sexual crimes at the present time. In particular, since the dissemination of digital sexual crimes uses media spaces such as the Internet, it was examined whether there was a difference in perception of digital sexual crimes among media users, and based on this, it was intended to prepare preventive measures. As a result, it was found that those who responded that the frequency of contact with pornography was high or that they had experience of sharing pornography with others perceived that they were well aware of digital sexual crimes. Accurate understanding of digital sexual crimes can prevent of sexual crimes. However, if sexual crimes were understood through harmful media such as pornography, the possibility of distorted information could not be excluded. Misunderstanding of digital sexual crimes can be perceived as a simple play culture or abuse of crime. Therefore, media literacy education was emphasized to promote the correct use of media.

노인 성범죄자 현황 및 원인에 관한 연구

이은주(Eun Joo, lee),차시환(Si Hwan, Cha) 한국범죄심리학회 2021 한국범죄심리연구 Vol.17 No.4

과학기술의 발달은 경제적 성장뿐만 아니라 전반적인 사회 환경에 변화를 가져왔다. 특히, AI와 같은 최첨단 의료기술의 발전은 과거 불치병에 대한 인간의 한계를 띄어 넘게 하였으며, 그 결과 평균수명은 매년 증가하고 있다. 미국 워싱턴대학 의과대학 산하 보건계랑분석연구소(IHME)의 연구보고서에 의하면 전 세계적으로 출산율은 떨어지는 것에 반에 기대수명은 증가하여 노인 기준 연령으로 삼는 65세 이상 인구는 23억7000만 명으로 증가해 전 세계 인구의 25%를 차지할 것이라고 설명했다. 과학기술의 발달이 인간의 수명을 연장하였다는 장점을 가지는 반면 노인 인구 증가와 같은 새로운 사회적 문제를 야기하고 있다. 노인 인구의 증가로 인한 노인 자살, 노인 빈곤, 그리고 노인 범죄 등의 증가는 더 이상 간과할 수 없는 사회적 문제로 이슈화되었다. 특히, 신체적으로 젊어지고 건강한 노인인구의 증가로 인한 노인 성범죄 역시 중요한 사회적 문제로 제기되고 있다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 대부분 청소년들에 의해 발생하는 성범죄에 집중하여 그에 대한 연구결과를 제시하고 있으며, 성범죄자들에 대한 교정 및 치료방법의 대부분은 외국의 연구결과를 중심으로 성범죄예방 대책을 제시하고 있다(정민철·조영일, 2015: 89). 이러한 접근은 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 노인 성범죄의 특성을 이해하고 이에 대한 대책을 제시하는 데 한계점을 가진다. 이에 본 연구에서는 증가하고 있는 노인 범죄의 실태를 살펴보고 노인 범죄와 관련된 원인을 파악하고자 한다. 노인 범죄의 원인을 개인적, 심리적, 경제적 그리고 사회관계적 요인으로 구분하여, 이러한 요인이 노인 성범죄와 어떠한 관련이 있는지를 파악함으로써, 노인 성범죄자들의 교정 및 교화 프로그램의 효과성을 증대시키고 노인 성범죄 예방을 위한 대안을 제시하는데 목적을 가진다. 또한 본 연구에서는 급증하고 있는 노인 성범죄를 예방하기 위한 대책을 다음과 같이 제시하고자 한다. 첫째, 노인 성범죄자에 대한 일자리 창출 지원을 통한 노인 삶의 질 향상을 도모해야 한다. 둘째, 노인 성범죄자들의 사회적 고립을 예방하고 사회적 유대를 강화시키기 위한 지방자치단체 및 복지기관 중심의 대책 및 프로그램을 개발하여야 한다. 셋째, 노인 성범죄자들의 욕구를 정확히 파악하고 그에 따른 정책적 제안을 제시할 수 있는 능력을 향상시키기 위한 노인 성범죄자 전담기구 설치해야 한다. Advancement of science and technology brought not only economic growth but also changes in the overall social environment. In particular, advancement of cutting-edge medical technologies such as AI enabled the overcoming of human limitations for incurable diseases of the past. As a result, the average life expectancy of human beings is increasing every year. According to the research report by the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) of the Medical College of Washington State University, USA, while the birth rate is declining, life expectancy is increasing throughout the world. As such, the report explains that the number of people over the age of 65 years, which is used as the threshold for classification as elderly, will increase to 2.37 billion and account for 25% of the total population of the world. Although such scientific advancement has the benefits of having an increased life expectancy of human beings, it is also inducing new social issues, such as an increase in elderly crimes. Increase in the suicide, poverty and crimes among elderlies arising from an increase in the elderly population has become social issues that can no longer be overlooked. In particular, sexual crimes by elderlies arising from the increase in the physically younger and healthier elderly population are also emerging as an important social issue. However, the majority of the existing studies are focusing on sexual crimes committed by adolescents and presenting results of the studies thereof, and a majority of corrective and therapeutic methods for the sexual offenders are proposing means of preventing sexual crimes with a focus on the results of studies conducted in overseas countries(Min chul Jung & Young Il Cho, 2015:89). Such an approach has limitations in understanding the characteristics of and proposing countermeasures for continually increasing sexual crimes by elderlies. Therefore, this study is aimed at the examination of the actual state of and assessment of causes related to elderly crimes that are on the rise. For this purpose, this study will discern the correlation between personal, psychological, economic and social relational factors, and sexual crimes by elderlies in order to enhance the effectiveness of corrective and edification of elderly sexual offenders and to present measures to prevent recurrence of sexual crimes by elderlies. In conclusion, this study proposes the following countermeasures to prevent sexual crimes by elderlies currently undergoing a rapid increase. First, it is necessary to improve the quality of the elderly’s life through the provision of support for the creation of job opportunities for elderly sexual offenders. Second, local autonomous government and welfare institute-centered countermeasures and programs aimed at preventing social isolation and strengthening of the social bond of elderly sexual offenders need to be developed.

Consideration of Policies Designed to Prevent Sexual Assault CRIMES against Children with Disabilities in KOREA

Choi Pan-am,Lee Kwon-ho J-INSTITUTE 2017 Public Value Vol.2 No.1

Korea has strengthened inspection of respective social welfare facilities and schools for handicapped and disabled across the country in response to the emergence of sexual assault crime against children with disabili-ties as a social issue. Children with disabilities often find it painful to live with disabilities, but are unable to pro-tect or defense themselves or are sometimes unaware that they are being victimized due to their mental ill-nesses and physical disabilities, etc. Even if when they want to claim that they have fallen victim to by sexual assault crime, they do not know how to come forward and make their cases. Another problem is that perpetra-tors of sexual assault crime against children with disabilities are not punished and that compensation and treatment are not provided properly to those children, the victims of sexual assault crimes. In addition, sexual assault crimes committed against children with disabilities pose many problems in whole processes until the cases are closed. To resolve such problems, the priority would need to be given to under-standing the specificity of children with disabilities in the process of crime cases. Efforts need to be made con-stantly to establish the system ensuring thorough investigation and imposing strong punishment on perpetra-tors of sexual assault crime against children with disabilities and to improve human rights for persons with dis-abilities. Thus, this study was intended to identify current status and problems of sexual assault crimes perpe-trated against children with disabilities and to propose measures at policy level for prevention of such sexual assault crimes. When the sexual assault crime against children with disabilities was brought up as a social issue, it was pos-sible to see controversies swirling and then subsiding over time. Therefore, long-term policies need to be mapped out constantly for prevention of sexual assault crimes, instead of one-time countermeasure, to funda-mentally resolve the issue of sexual assault crimes perpetrated against children with disabilities. For the purpose, first of all, it is necessary to understand the specificity of children with disabilities and re-flect it in the process where cases of such crimes are handled. Additionally, more stringent punishment and expeditious and precise investigation would be needed in making response to sexual assault crime against chil-dren with disabilities. Moreover, the new government would need to devise comprehensive measures in paral-lel with practical support through amendment of Social Welfare Service Act so as to ensure human right protec-tion for children with disabilities.
