영문 초록

The elderly population of Korea over 65 ages is over 14% in total population in 2017, so Korea has been entered in aging society. Therefore, the crime by the elderly, victimization of the elderly, and fear of crime have been the serious social problem to cope up with. This study aims to examine the reality of elderly crime, to review the criminological theories on the elderly crime, to suggest the countermeasures on elderly crime and victimization of the elderly in Korea. First of all, many criminological theories efforts to explain crimes of the elderly. The Anome/Strain theory try to explain crimes of the elderly by the causes of the social isolation and strain due to the death of the spouse, retirement from the job, deconditioning of the health, and financial decline. Next, the Social Bonding/Control theory seek to the elderly crime by the loose connection with family, friends and other people and social isolation. According to the many research, fear of crime in elderly people is high than the young people, it is paradoxical allowing for the low criminal victimization rate of the elderly compared to that of the young people. This can be explained by many causes from the literature. Some researchers have addressed different components of fear, such as perceived risk, vulnerability, or feeling unsafe; while others have suggested that the victimizing crime determines the existence of fear. Still others have addressed the nature of the environment as a contributing factor in either minimizing or increasing the potential for crime and/or elderly fear. Finally, many social and economical programs have been suggested to reduce the crime of/against the elderly since the 1970s across the Europe and North America. The majority of these programs focus upon the traditional types of criminal offenses. These programs can be categorized according to the four major headings. The first two are intended to reduce the prevalence of crimes against the elderly. The later two are focused on the individual s behaviour tips to prevent crimes against the elderly.
