The Formal and Informal Crime Control Views of South Korean Citizens

• In Event: Public Opinion and Justice System's Views of Sentencing and Social Control Policies

Abstract

There has been a good deal of research on the formal and informal crime control views of citizens in Western nations, particularly the United States. There has been far less research on formal and informal crime control views of people in Asian nations, especially South Korea. The current study is based on a survey of college students and citizens in the general population in South Korea. The findings of our study will be presented and discussed.
