Sex difference in homicide: comparing male and female violent crimes in Korea
The comparison of the South Korean male and female homicide offendersâ characteristics and crime scene behaviours is presented in this study. A total of 537 cases of homicide offenders prosecuted in Korea between 2006 and 2010 were analyzed in terms of offendersâ characteristics, victimâoffender interaction, places of crime, and crime scene actions. Significant differences between male and female offenders were revealed in prior criminal history, offendersâ personal characteristics, choice of victim, crime scene behaviours during and after the homicide, and choice of weapon. The parallel with the gender differences in homicides found in Western countries is discussed as well as the possible explanations for the gender-related characteristics found in this study.N/
