A study on the analysis of psychological characteristics of female psychopathic criminals : Focusing on the murder case of Jeong Yu-jeong in Busan

This study started from a critical perspective on psychopathy research, which has been conducted with a focus on men, and was conducted with the purpose of theoretically deriving the psychological characteristics of female psychopaths and verifying them through cases. The research method was to derive the characteristics of female psychopaths based on empirical studies and theories conducted to date in advanced foreign countries and compare them with the characteristics of male psychopaths. In addition, we took a method of theoretically verifying the validity of the existing theory by comparing and analyzing the results of previous research on the characteristics of female psychopathic criminals with female psychopathic cases that occurred at home and abroad. Basic data for deriving the characteristics of general psychopathy include psychopathy measurement tools developed overseas: PCL-R, PPI-R, and CAPP, TriPM.
