Abstract

This study aims at identifying re-victimization (repeated/multiple victimization) that can occur to victims of violent crimes. For this purpose, a total of 61 judgments of juvenile homicide cases were collected from 2012 to 2020, and among them, 68 cases of juvenile defendants, including accomplices, were used as research data in 49 cases excluding the judgments of the appeals court. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that 48.6% of the victims suffered re-victimization out of all cases, and the ratio of re-victimization was particularly high when the victim and the perpetrator had the friend relationship (housemate after running away from home, schoolmate, etc.). Assault and sexual offenses were the most common types of victimization, and as an important key factor, the greater the number of accomplices in a case, the higher the likelihood of re-victimization. Through this, the significance of the study, discussion, and policy proposal were suggested.
