교통범죄군에 대한 사회봉사명령의 효과에 영향을 미치는 요인

Abstract

This study began with the question "How does a community service order imposed on traffic crimes function?" This question has raised the additional question, "Is the community service order a punishment?" And "Is it the mean of returning to society?" and have created a necessity to evaluate the function of the social service order. In order to verify what factors affect successful community service for the traffic offenders, we conducted survey for traffic offenders who have completed the service service asking factors influencing their function in terms of deterrence and reintegration into the society. Purposive sampling was carried out in October 2018 for the traffic crime offenders who completed the community service orders. As a result, 228 questionnaires were used for the final analysis. The dependent variable was divided into the direct effect and the indirect effect of the community service order, and more specifically, the necessity of the community service order, the deterrence of crime due to toughness, the ability to deter crime due to reward, the generation of work consciousness and the interest to the community. Independent variables included demographic factors, and legal factors, and factors conducted from criminological theories such as attachment theory, labeling theory, rational choice theory, and self–control theory. As a result, it was confirmed that the direct effect on the community service orders increased as the attachment to social and probation observers increased. Overall, the subject tended to be more aware of the direct effect of the suppression of recidivism than the indirect effect of social service order (re-socialization). It is an interesting finding that the deterrence effect is due to the reward of service rather than due to hardship and toughness of the community service order. Detailed research findings and policy implications are discussed in the main text.
