Abstract

This study focuses on identifying the factors affecting fear of crime in public toilets that people may experience through actual crime cases in public toilets and suggesting applicable implications of CPTED.
 In this study, we examined the number of crimes related to public toilets over the past five years through official crime statistics. In addition, we reviewed specific cases of public toilet crimes through Internet articles and legal precedents. Particularly, through the cases, we examined which specific characteristics of toilets such as the location of men’s and women’s entrances and the absence of emergency bells might have led to crimes.
 Lastly, we suggested various elements of the fear of crime in public toilets and CPTED application ways.
