Crime victims have had features of both causing a crime and the object of protection from the society. These contrasting characteristics have led to develop victimology. As the result, the classification of the victim has been generalized. Direct damage caused by the crime victim is grouped into the first damage, and collateral damages caused by the 1st one are could be identified as the 2nd or the 3rd one. In this paper, it is aimed that problems of victim classification in Korea have been studied by comparing foreign countries' classification.

본 연구의 목적은 아동 성폭력 상황 자체와 성폭력 가해자에 대한 간호사의 태도가 상황 판단에 미치는 영향을 규명하는데 초점을 둔다. 503명의 병원 간호사와 526명의 보건교사를 대상으로 vignette 디자인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 아동성폭력 상황 vignettes은 7가지의 특성 (성폭력 행위, 성폭력 빈도, 피해자의 연령, 피해자의 저항, 가해자의 연령, 가해자와 피해자의 교차성별, 가해자와 피해자와의 관계)을 조합하여 구성하였다. 1/4 factorial design의 결과로서 64개의 vignettes 이 도출되었으며 이 중 16개 vignettes을 무작위로 추출하여 그 vignettes에 나타난 각 성폭력 상황들의 심각정도를 표시하도록 하였다. 성폭력 가해자에 대한 문항들은 1) 가해자가 아동 성폭력을 하는 이유 2) 전형적인 성폭력 가해자3) 아동성폭력 가해자의 처벌방법에 관한 간호사의 태도를 묻는 것이었다. 자료분석은 Logistic Regression을 실시하였다. 연구결과에서 간호사들은 아동 성폭력 상황의 심각도를 판단할 때 주로 성폭력 상황에 의해 영향을 받고 아동 성폭력 가해자에 대한 개인적 태도는 거의 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며, 아동 성폭력 상황 특성 중 피해자의 저항, 성폭력 행위, 성폭력 빈도, 가해자의 연령, 가해자와 피해자의 교차성별 순으로 아동 성폭력상황의 심각도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 간호사들은 아동 성폭력 상황에 직면하여 사례를 판단할 때 아동 성폭력 문제에 대한 개인의 태도에 영향을 받기보다는 사례 그 자체에 근거를 두고 판단하는 경향을 나타낸다. 본 연구 결과는 법적, 전문가적 의미에서 아동성폭력 신고자로서의 의무와 사례중재에 개입된 의료인으로서의 역할 수행에 긍정적인 면을 시사한다.

South Korea's socioeconomic status is high enough to support services for the protection of crime victims. Until now, the Ministry of Justice was the only institution to protect and support the victims, but recently the national police is included. This is considered preferable, since the police is the one to contact the victims first- they can provide immediate support after the incident. Several limits in current laws and crime protection system exist. Therefore, given the importance of protecting victims, model of public-private joint forms should be considered. In premise of establishing a new relationship between the public-private joint system of justice and the maintenance, the range of police's involvement with crime supports will be determined. In the case of developed countries, the police and private organizations maintain close cooperation, appearing as substantial care and support for crime victims. Therefore this study reviews the problems in crime victim protection, assistance from the police stage, and suggest the improvements as follows. The first is to redefine the role of the police who first contacted in the crime victims protection support, the second is to establish a permanent cooperation framework, such as victims specialized police, victims protection agency, the third is to develop services for victim protection available from the police stage, and the fourth, opening Victim Support Center functioning as a temporary accommodation or safety zone for the personal protection of victims. The fifth is to regularize solution conference for victims' protection, and the sixth is to divide of roles in state organization government in charge of victim's protection and local government responsible for victim's support.

Objectives : This study analyzed psychological aftereffects and made comparisons between victims who were either sexually assaulted or molested using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2(MMPI-2). Methods : The participants were adult women who visited the Busan Smile Center within 6 months following sexual assault. This study categorized the participants according to types of sexual violence and then identified their social demographic features and characteristics. Student's t-tests were carried out to compare the MMPI-2 results between the sexually assaulted group and sexually molested group. Chi-square tests were also conducted to compare between participants who scored above 65T. Results : Among the 55 participants, 32 were sexually assaulted; 23 were sexually molested. Significant differences between the two groups were found in the following scales: F, F(B), F(P), Pt, Sc, Ma, RC6 and PSYC. Moreover, the number of participants with higher scores in the Pa, Pt, Sc, RC6, and PSYC scales in the sexually assaulted group was significantly higher than in the sexually molested group. Conclusions : Both groups of victims may commonly suffer beyond the moderate level of depression and anxiety in the post-case term. In addition, the sexually assaulted group seems to suffer relatively more from panic and psychological pain than the sexually molested group does.

Identifiable victim effect refers to the tendency of greater sympathy and helping behavior to identifiable victims than to abstract, unidentifiable ones. This research tested whether this tendency also affects third-party's punishment and compensation judgments in jury context for public's legal judgments. In addition, through the Identifiable victim effect in such legal judgment, we intended to explain the effect of 'the bill named for victim', putting the victim's real name and identity at the forefront, which is aimed at strengthening the punishment of related crimes by gaining public attention and support. To do so, we conducted experiments with hypothetical traffic accident scenarios that controlled legal components while manipulating victim's identifying information. In experiment 1, each participant read a scenario of an anonymous victim (unidentifiable condition) or a nonanonymous victim that included personal information such as name and age (identifiable condition) and made judgments on the degree of punishment and compensation. The results showed no effect of identifiability on third-party's punishment and compensation judgments, but moderation effect of BJW was obtained in the identifiable condition. That is, those with higher BJW showed greater tendency of punishment and compensation for identifiable victims. In Experiment 2, we compared an anonymous victim (unidentifiable condition) against a well-conducted victim (positive condition) and ill-conducted victim (negative condition) to test the effects of victim's characteristics on punishment for offender and compensation for victims. The results showed lower compensation for an ill-conducted victim than for an anonymous one. In addition, across all conditions except for negative condition, participants made punishment and compensation judgments higher than the average judicial precedents of 10-point presented in the rating scale. This research showed that victim's characteristics other than legal components affects third-party's legal decision making. Furthermore, we interpreted third-party's tendency to impose higher punishment and compensation with effect of 'the bill named for victim' and proposed social and legal discussion for and future research.

When observing the subjects and seriousness of Korea's Wang-ta, it is urgent that we know the characteristics of Wang-ta and its conditions. In this study, we investigated the definition of Wang-ta, which partly differs from bullying. Also, the phenomenal characteristics of collectivism, the victimization of an individual once stigmatized in the Wang-ta process, the generalization of the Wang-ta process where bullies extend their territory into general students were examined. Moreover, external environment such as Korea's school environment, negative house environment, and collective culture were examined. The three general structures in researching Korea's Wang-ta were presented. The first structure consists of a bully, victim, and a bully-victim. The second structure focuses on the certain groups, which consists of followers, outsider, and the defender. The last structure deals with the psychological characteristics of the participant roles, which are the bully, reinforcer, assistant, defender, victim, and outsider. Wang-ta prevention programs, which reflects the characteristics of Wang-ta, are presented. Implications on future Wang-ta prevention programs are discussed.

This paper is concerned on the reality and the effected factors to the help for the victims of crime in the police. In our society the related enacted law and polices for the victim of crime have been practiced, but it was not easy to be helped or supported in some ways. On the contrary the victims have been used as tool of investigation or just the sources of witness on the crime. These days the issue of the victims of crime is one of the most concerned matters to the public, and it turns to on of core issues in the law enforcement community. According to the filed survey for the study, the female and higher level or longer careers than the male and lower level or shorter careers in the police are more positive on the help for the victims of crime. But if the members in the law enforcement community would be trained up with the organized program to fulfill their duties, they could be in positive on the help for the victimes of crime.

Based on the sexual offenses committed in school, the present study investigated differences between habitual/repeated sexual offenses and one-off sexual offenses in terms of offender characteristics, victim characteristics, and offense characteristics. We examined a total of 218 sexual offense cases committed in school. As a result, we found significant differences in the age, job, and residential area between habitual/repeated and one-off sexual offenders in school. In addition, notable differences were found between habitual/repeated and one-off sexual offense cases in the age and alcohol use of the victim. Moreover, habitual/repeated and one-off sexual offenses in school differed significantly by offense planning, method of approaching the victim, type of sexual behavior, and victim resistance. Furthermore, we conducted regression analyses and identified multiple factors that contributed to lasting of the sexual offense in school. Finally, we discussed limitations of the present study and made suggestions for future research.

This study examined characteristics and judges' judgments regarding sexual violence cases against individuals with intellectual disabilities by analyzing total 716 cases of court decision. Of 716 cases, 6.0% sentenced not guilty, 53.5% imprisonment, 36.7% suspended sentence. More than half of the victims had experienced sexual assault more than one time with the tendency of repeating being higher when the accused were relatives or acquaintances to the victims. In half of the total cases, the victims were not able to specify the time of incidents. Only in 20% of the cases, there was actual compulsion but in the remaining cases, there was no clear coercion used during the crimes. There are three issues regarding court's decision of sexual assault case against individuals with intellectually disabilities; (1) credibility of victims' statement, (2) inability of resist during the crimes, and (3) whether the accused were aware of the victims's disabilities. In the judgment of credibility of statement, consistency of statement was the criterion that was used most frequently, being followed by specificity of statement, motivation for false accusation, cognitive capacity of victim, and reports of statement validity analysis in the order. The most frequently used criterion of inability to resist was the victim's statement and attitude, followed by the statement and attitude of the accused, the victim's knowledge and understanding of sexuality in the order. Regarding to the awareness of disabilities on the part of the accused, the statement and attitude of the accused was most frequently used, the victims' communicative abilities, duration of relationship, and daily life competence in the order. There were no differences in the rulings and issues according to levels of disabilities and gender. When victims were under 13 credibility of statement became more argues but the awareness of disabilities less frequently than the cases of victims who were 13 or older.
