Due to the rapid developments of South Korea, local communities have faced various social pathologies which generated more violent crimes and criminalized younger students. Several horrendous violences, such as a Kangneung Girl assassination assault case in July 2017 and a Busan Girls assault case in September 2017, happened only between young students. This ignited a public uproar and people were more interested in related national policies and voiced for stronger penalties in ways that punish student offenders and abolish the juvenile law. In this respect, various effective policies are needed to prevent the school violence and to eliminate the students' fear of crime. These are expected to create an environment where students could enthusiastically study in a safe environment. Focusing on elementary school students, this study seeks to empirically analyse the effects of their perception of local crime control governance on their fear of crime and, subsequently, to suggest policy implications which could prevent future school violence and juvenile crimes and reduce the students' fear of crime. The results of this study are as follows: First, the analysis of the general fear of local crime control governance and the fear of crime showed that elementary school students' trust in police officers had a significant effect on the general fear. Second, the analysis of the local fear of crime control governance and the fear of crime highlighted that their trust in the police, social ties, intimacy between the police and residents had a significant effect on the specific fear. Therefore, this study is applicable in reality in that it can contribute to the prevention of school violence and reduction of fear of crime by constructing local crime control governance.

This study tests a model for the effect of low self-control on cyber crime and its mediating process. Intervening variables include smartphone addiction, social learning and opportunity variables. Analyzing a data from college students in Seoul, it is shown that the effect of low self-control has a significant effect on smartphone addiction. Results also show that smartphone addiction has a positive significant effect on differential association with illegal peers, illegal definition, and illegal opportunity, and in turn cybercrime. In addition, it is found that low self-control has also a direct effect on differential association with illegal peers, illegal definitions, and illegal opportunity without mediating by smartphone addiction. As a result, it is reveal that the effect of low self-control on cybercrime is indirect and its effect is mediated by smartphone addiction, differential association with illegal peers, illegal definitions, and illegal opportunity.

범죄예방이 무엇보다 중요한 형사정책의 한 축으로 자리매김 하면서 경찰활동도 다양한 변화를 추구하고 있다. 근세 이후 범죄통제경향의 변화에서도 알 수 있듯, 종국적으로는 범죄예방이 범죄통제의 최선이라는 경험을 바탕으로 경찰의 역할에 대한 새로운 시각의 등장과 더불어 나타난 것이 오늘날의 지역사회경찰활동이다. 이와 같은 경찰의 지역사회활동과 관련하여 본 연구는 미국 캘리포니아 북부에 위치한 산마테오카운티 보안관실의 C.A.R.O.N프로그램에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

The increasing trend of the five violent crimes (murder, robbery, rape, violence, theft) in Korea is not independent of social and economic factors. Several social science research have discussed about this issue but most of them do not properly reflect the nature of the time-series data. Based on several time series models, we studied about the endogenous factors (time, seasonal and cycle factors) and exogenous factors (economical, social change and crime control factors) on violent crime occur in Korea. Autocorrelation were also taken into account. Through this study, we want to help to make preventive policy by explaining the cause of violent crime and predicting the future incidence of it.

성인 조직범죄집단은 조직유지와 활발한 조직활동을 위해 청소년 비행집단의 구성원을 포섭하려한다. 그리고 청소년 비행집단의 구성원은 다양한 이유로 인하여 조직범죄집단에 유입된다. 이는 당해 비행청소년은 물론 그 주변의 청소년들에게도 악영향을 미친다. 이러한 양 집단 간의 연계를 통한 유입현상을 통제하기 위하여 우선 청소년을 대상으로 비행행위에 대한 예방목적의 프로그램 활용은 물론 보다 효과적인 제도의 운용을 위한 구체적 논의가 필요하다. 이에 대해 청소년들이 활동하고 서로를 접하는 공간인 학교와 지역사회에서의 통제는 필수적이며 이러한 이유로 경찰과의 협력을 통한 예방활동에 주목할 필요가 있다.

In a recent period, it becomes more and more important to keep the cutting-edge industrial technology secured. This is because competitive technology appears to be a cornerstone of national power. Although the industrial espionage must be an illegal behavior or a kind of white-collar crime, there has been few researches on industrial espionage from a criminological perspective. This study investigates the relationship between industrial espionage, self-control, and organizational commitment. The hypotheses of this study were found to be statistically significant. The hypothesis 1 that the high self-control reduces the possibility of industrial espionage was accepted, and the hypothesis 2 that the high organizational commitment reduces the possibility of industrial espionage was also accepted. This results showed that self-control and organizational commitment were the key factors to prevent industrial espionage, which eventually reinforces industrial security. This study used a convenient sampling, which might be the limits of this study. By using a convenient sampling, the result of the study could not depend on representative sample. Nonetheless, this study was trying to explore the relationship between industrial espionage, self-control, and organizational commitment which was not researched yet. The purpose of this study is to contribute to find out the criminological causes of industrial espionage and eventually to prevent it.

CCTV is widely used as a crime prevention method globally; however, there is insufficient evidence regarding its effectiveness. This study assesses the suitability of CCTV locations and their impact on crime prevention. First, to analyze the appropriateness of the location of CCTVs, we overlaid the locations of crimes and CCTV, and found that there are many cases where CCTV were placed where crime rarely occurred. Using various cases, we verified CCTV's crime prevention effectiveness. The WDQ was applied to comprehensively analyze the impact of CCTV surveillance area and surrounding areas to determine the crime prevention effect. As a result of the analysis, CCTV was found to be effective in preventing crime. In 53.09% of the cases, there was a diffusion effect of crime control benefits in the surrounding area, which was four times more than the cases with a transfer effect. Thus, strategically installing CCTV in appropriate locations enhances crime prevention effectiveness based on spatial analysis.

The Moon Jae-in administration insisted on reforming the prosecution for the reform of power institutions, and also tried to control the power of the prosecution through the establishment of a high-ranking public officials criminal investigation office. Then, what is the direction of the legal prosecution reform? Above all, it is a logic to drastically reduce the power of the prosecution. How to shrink it? First, it is necessary to control or check the power of prosecution and investigation that the prosecution has. Second, the key to the reform of the prosecution is perhaps to separate personnel rights from power. In order to exclude external pressure from the prosecution's personnel rights, there must be no instruction or intervention from the attorney general. To do this, the prosecutor general must go through various personnel evaluations, such as multi-faceted evaluation. Third, the essence of the High-ranking Officials Criminal Investigations Act is to deal with crimes of prosecutors, judges, police, and members of the National Assembly. It is also the core of the institutional mechanism to cover the corruption of one's family members while holding all the right to investigate, prosecution, and warrant claims, and to check the omnipresent prosecutors who have abused their right to investigate for political purposes. Then, what is necessary for the success of the high-ranking officials criminal investigation office? Above all, We think political neutrality is very necessary. The Ministry of Airborne has a very high authority of the Director. This paper intends to examine the functions and roles of the prosecution and high-ranking officials criminal investigation offices to prevent corruption. We analyzed the contents of the prosecution and the public officials criminal investigation office, and examined the limitations and problems, and the measures to control corruption in public offices.

This study tests the effects of differential association, definitions, differential reinforcement and imitation from social learning theory in the explanation of university students' crimes in social network services. In addition, this study tests the interaction effects between social learning factors and other factors such as low self-control, subcultural environment, and crime opportunity for the integrated approach. Using data from 486 university students in Seoul, results show that both definition and imitation have significant influences on crimes, even though differential association and differential reinforcement factors have no significant influences on crimes in social network services. Results also reveal that there are significant interaction effects between definition and subcultural environment, which meana that definition has a strong effect on crimes in high subcultural environment. In addition, it is found that reinforcement has also a strong effect on crimes in high crime opportunity and that interaction effect between imitation and low self-control is significant, which means that imitation has a strong effect on crimes in low self-control students.
