영문 초록

  This study assesses the theoretical consistency and empirical validity of the environmental approach in relation to residential burglary in the Republic of Korea. A purposive sampling method was used to select the fifty-two burglar subjects interviewed. The majority of the subjects came from the Incheon Metropolitan City area. A central focus of the study was the subjects’ target-selection methodology, and in the study interviews they were queried as to how they went about identifying a suitable residential target for burglary. Special attention was given to the extent to which the subjects in the study sample utilised rational processes to select a potential burglary target, and what situational conditions and features they used as discriminative cues in this target-selection process.
