비행적 생활요인이 남녀 청소년의성범죄 피해경험에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between juveniles’ delinquent lifestyle and the sex crime victimization, and suggest alternatives for juvenile delinquency based on the difference of the gender. A research design was based on the Lifestyle-Exposure Theory and the previous studies. Secondary data, “Korean Survey on the Right of Youth and Children in 2011” which was collected by the National Youth Policy Institute, was used. The subjects were consisted of middle school students and high school students, and elementary school students were excluded since they were not asked about status delinquency or harmful entertainment place visit. Delinquent lifestyle included the experience of run away, status delinquency, and harmful entertainment place visit. Also, sex crime victimization was measured whether juveniles experience sex crime or not. Frequency analysis was conducted to examine socio-demographic characteristics. Also, it was assumed that the relationship of delinquent lifestyle and sex crime victimization would be differenciated by gender. Finally, it was analyzed whether delinquent lifestyle by gender would influence on the victimization of the sex crime using logistic regression. As a result, the experience of run away and the level of harmful entertainment place visit have significant impact on sex crime victimization for boys. On the other hand, only the experience of run away has a strong influence on sex crime victimization for girls. That is, boys who have run away experience and have higher level of harmful entertainment place visit are more likely to be sex crime victim, and girls who have run away experience are subject to sex crime victimization. However, status offenses do not influence on sex crime victimization for both boys and girls. Interestingly, with controlling socio-demographic variables, parents’ neglect has significant effect on sex crime victimization for both boys and girls. In other words, juveniles who experience more parents’ neglect are more likely to be sex crime victim. According to the results, policy alternatives are suggested for the prevention of juvenile sex crime victimization.
