Abstract

As crime began to be viewed as a social structural problem, away from the perspective of limited in individual propensity, criminology of perspective began to develop to prevent crime at the social level. In the case of these social structural characteristics, they change according to time and environment, and the influencing factors disappear or are newly revealed, so research needs to be continuously conducted according to the temporal and spatial flow. Despite the characteristics of social phenomena that require simultaneous consideration of spatio-temporal characteristics, domestic crime research tends to focus on spatial characteristics. Of course, in recent years, a method of explaining a crime phenomenon by simultaneously considering spatio-temporal characteristics has been attempted, but it is still insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of social disintegration factors on crime occurrence by securing data related to the social structure of the KOSIS and data on crime statistics of the National Police Agency from 2015 to 2020. Furthermore, juvenile crimes often show different influencing factors from adult crimes due to their timing characteristics, so we tried to examine their characteristics compared to all crimes.
 As a result of the study, it was confirmed that housing instability, ethnic heterogeneity, and female householder ratio in Korea affect crime, and in the case of juvenile crime, there was no effect of social dissolution factors, and the ratio of row/multi-family houses had a significant effect.
