형사미성년자 가담 절도범죄의 양상 및 시사점 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the patterns of crimes of theft in which criminal minors participated and derive implications based on the results. To achieve this purpose, 103 theft cases involving criminal minors were analyzed by collecting criminal judgments sentenced nationwide over the past five years. The analysis results are summarized as follows. Unmanned stores were the most frequently targeted, followed by vehicle-related theft. Looking at the structures of co-offending, the proportion of criminal minors involved in the crimes of adolescents (14 to 19 years old) was significantly higher than that of adults. In terms of the number of people, there were many cases where a small number of people, such as two or three, committed crimes. Regarding the roles in theft, there were far more cases in which criminal minors directly performed theft than in cases where only the role of assistants such as watching was performed. In addition, the former had a higher crime success rate than the latter. A significant number of crimes occurred intensively in the middle of the night (00: 00-02: 59). The most common damage was more than 100,000 won and less than 1 million won. Based on the above analysis results, the following implications could be derived. First, it is evaluated that there is no significant difference between criminal minors and accomplices (over 14 years old) in their ability to perform theft crimes. Second, adult accomplices have a strong tendency to use criminal minors as their means of avoiding punishment (i.e., a kind of shield). Third, the amount of damage per case is more serious than general theft cases. Finally, it shows that the crime level of criminal minors is less mature than that of professional adult thieves in that they target similar places and prefer relatively simple strategies and tools.
