Online games are very popular among adolescents in Korea. They sometimes lead to cyber delinquency. An ethnographic analysis was conducted in this study to address the social significance of online games. The results showed that the adolescents who were addicted to or indulged in the games were likely to commit delinquency online and/or offline. Delinquency in an information society is typically individualistic, whereas deviant behaviors in an industrial society are more social and collective, such as group violence. Parenting style, student-teacher relationship, peer pressure, game environment, and recreational facilities for the adolescents were intertwined with such adolescent delinquency. Finally, some implications of the online games from the perspective of social welfare practice were discussed to prevent online game indulgence and addiction and adolescent delinquency.

본 연구에서는 청소년 비행이 지속적인 사회문제로 대두됨에 따라 청소년의 온·오프라인 비행을 예측하는 주요 요인들을 탐색하고 전통적 비행이론(사회학습이론, 일반긴장이론, 사회통제이론, 일상활동이론, 낙인이론)의 적용 가능성을 살펴보았다. 분석에 활용된 데이터는 한국아동·청소년패널조사 2010(KCYPS 2010)의 초1, 초4, 중1 패널 6차년도 데이터이다(N=4,137). 예측 모형을 구축함에 있어 전통적 통계기반의 회귀모형 대신 랜덤포레스트 머신러닝 기법을 활용함으로써 예측 성능 향상과 더불어 보다 많은 예측요인의 고려 가능성에 초점을 두었다. 랜덤포레스트 분석 결과, 청소년의 온·오프라인 비행을 설명하는 데에 전통적인 비행이론은 여전히 유효하였으며, 온라인 비행은 주로 개인적 요인(일상활동이론, 낙인이론)과, 오프라인 비행은 사회적 요인(사회학습이론, 사회통제이론)과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 일반긴장 이론은 온라인 비행과 오프라인 비행 모두를 예측하는 중요한 이론적 기반임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 머신러닝 기법을 통해 청소년 비행에 영향을 주는 주요 요인을 도출하고, 기존 비행이론의 활용 가능성도 함께 고려했다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 청소년 온·오프라인 비행에 대한 예방 및 개입 방향성을 재고하는 기반을 제공할 것이라 기대된다.

본 연구는 청소년이 인지한 부모 감독 애정과 청소년의 오프라인 온라인 비행과의 관계에 대해 한부모가정과 양부모가정을 비교하였다. 한국청소년정책연구원에서 실시한 한국아동 청소년패널조사의 제4차~5차 데이터를 활용하여 고등학교 1학년, 2학년 학생 총 1,812명(양부모가정: 1,628명, 한부모가정: 184명)을 대상으로 최종 분석하였다. 변수간의 관계를 파악을 위해 구조방정식모형을 활용하였으며, 이 관계가 가정구조 별로 차이가 있는지 확인하기 위해 다중집단 분석을 진행하였다. 그 결과 첫째 부모의 감독은 양부모 가정에서만 청소년 오프라인 비행에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 부모와의 애정은 양부모와 한부모가정 모두 오프라인 비행에 영향을 주지 못하였다. 둘째 부모와의 애정은 한부모가정에서만 온라인 비행에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 그 경로 또한 양부모 가정보다 더 크게 부적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 부모 감독의 경우 모든 가정 구조에서 온라인 비행에 영향을 주지는 못하였으나, 한부모가정보다 양부모가정에서 더 크게 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 청소년비행에 대한 보다 구체적인 사회복지적 실천적, 정책적 방안을 제시하였다.

Playing online games is popular among adolescents and may contribute to such social issues as game addiction and cyber-delinquency. The present study conducted an ethnographic analysis that addressed basic descriptive questions around the social significance of online games. The main findings were that peer pressure plays an important role; that is, adolescents play the games to fulfill their need to occupy higher levels of cyber-status among game players and build special relationships. They like to make money and buy what they want with money earned from game item deals. Game scenarios and mechanisms play an important role in game addiction. Adolescents sometimes exhibit social delinquency in cyberspace or the real world. Thus, adolescents' needs, game addiction and cyber-delinquency are intertwined.

There are two categories of online crimes related to children and adolescents: those committed by adolescents and those committed against children and adolescents. While recent trends in criminal law show consensus on strengthening punishment in cases of crimes against children and adolescents, there are mixed stances in cases of juvenile delinquency. One perspective emphasizes strict punishment, whereas the other emphasizes dispositions aligned with human rights. While various forms of online crime share the commonality in that the main part of the criminal act occurs online, they can be categorized into three types: those seeking financial gain, those driven by sexual motives, and those engaged in bullying. Among these, crimes driven by sexual motives are the most serious. Second-hand trading fraud and conditional (sexual) meeting fraud fall under the category of seeking financial gain and occur frequently. Crimes driven by sexual motives include obscenity via telecommunication, filming with discrete cameras, child and adolescent sexual exploitation material, fake video distribution, and blackmail/coercion using intimate images/videos ("sextortion"). These crimes lead to various legal issues such as whether to view vulgar acronyms or body cams that teenagers frequently use as simple subcultures or crimes, what criteria should be applied to judge whether a recorded material induces sexual desire or shame, and at what stage sexual grooming becomes punishable. For example, sniping posts, KakaoTalk prisons, and chat room explosions are tricky issues, as they may or may not be punished depending on the case. Particular caution should be exercised against the indiscriminate application of a strict punishment-oriented approach to the juvenile justice system, which is being discussed in relation to online sexual offenses. In the punishment case of online crime, juvenile offenders with a high potential for future improvement and reform must be treated with special consideration.
