노인의 가족 내 차별과 범죄 피해에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify the protection effect of the social network against criminal damage of the elderly. To this end, the moderating effect of whether or not to live alone was verified in the relationship between discrimination in the elderly's family and criminal damage. Furthermore, the moderated moderating effect of satisfaction with non-family relationships was verified. We utilized data from 5,427 people out of the 2020 elderly survey data and analyze using the SPSS 25.0 program and PROCESS Macro 4.2. The results showed experiencing discrimination in the family increased the experience of crime damage of the elderly. This relationship was moderated by whether or not to live alone. Specifically, the relationship between experiencing discrimination in the family and increasing the crime damage of the elderly was greater in non-living alone than in the elderly living alone. In addition, in the relationship between discrimination in the family and crime damage, the moderating effect of whether to live alone was moderated by satisfaction with non-family relationships. Satisfaction with non-family relationships has a greater effect on alleviating the relationship between discrimination and crime damage in the family in the elderly living alone. The results of this study suggest that the elderly can alternatively receive protection from non-family relationships if they are vulnerable to criminal damage because they do not receive protection from their families. Based on the results of the study, policy proposals to prevent criminal damage to the elderly were discussed.
