Recently, the Electronic Monitoring has been expanded and applied as a way to increase the efficiency of correctional administration. Therefore, in order to operate the system more stably and effectively, based on the theory of deterrence and resistance among criminology theories, we would like to explore what factors affect the impulse to damage the Electronic Tagging. This study analyzed statistical data from the “Survey on the Operation of the Electronic Monitoring System of Sexual Offenders, 2013” conducted by the Korean Institute of Criminology and Justice. As a result of analysis, the statistically significant results are as follows. Low awareness of “certainty of punishment” based on the theory of deterrence increased the impulse to damage the Electronic Tagging. In addition, the more 'stigmatized perception of punishment' based on the theory of resistance, the more impulse to damage the Electronic Tagging. And the more 'recognition of shame', the more the impulse to damage the Electronic Tagging increased. Through these research results, it can be confirmed that measures to emphasize 'certainty of punishment' and induce a criminal's responsibility and attitude of reflection should be combined rather than simply strengthening the sentence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
