스토킹 피해 경험 영향요인에 관한 연구 : 일상활동이론과 생활양식이론을 중심으로

초록

With the enforcement of the「Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes」 in 2021, stalking was institutionalized as an independent type of crime, but despite the strengthening of institutional responses, the damage continues to occur. This study analyzed the factors influencing lifelong stalking damage experiences based on the theory of daily activities and lifestyle-exposure, starting with the awareness that stalking can violate the daily life and freedom of victims and lead to violent crimes. To this end, a hierarchical binary logistic regression analysis was conducted using questionnaire data on 2,500 residents of Seoul. As a result of the analysis, 33.0% of all respondents experienced stalking damage at least once in their lives, and the target suitability factor of women and fear of stalking were strongly related to the damage experience. On the other hand, protection and exposure factors such as single-person households, unmarried, and age were not significant. In addition, gender equality awareness showed the effect of lowering the experience of damage after controlling fear. These results suggest that although the theory of daily activities is partially useful in explaining stalking damage, it is necessary to consider not only the cause of the damage but also the process by which the victim recognizes and reports a specific behavior as stalking in order to understand stalking damage.
