The Influence of Homicide Offenders’Childhood Family Environment on Criminalization - Mediating Effects of Growing delinquency

This study attempted to examine whether the influence of childhood family environment significantly affects the accumulation of crimes during life among the various factors that caused criminals to commit crimes, focusing on homicide offenders. In addition, by examining the mediating effect of school punishment experience and the age of initial police book in the relationship between childhood family environment and crime, we tried to find out the importance of family environment, the correlation between juvenile delinquency, and even chronic crimes. As a result of the study, a negative family environment during childhood had a positive effect on the experience of punishment during school years and a negative effect on the age of first police book. In addition, it was found that the dependent variables directly affect the total number of crimes, the number of serious crimes, and the period of accommodation in correctional facilities. The mediating effect of the experience of punishment in school and the age of initial police book was found to be significant in the total number of crimes and the period of acceptance of correctional facilities, but not in the number of serious crimes. These findings suggest that the influence of the family environment in childhood is likely to lead to chronic criminals through the experience of delinquendy during the juvenile. Therefore, various measures are needed to block the path to chronic criminals by evoking the importance of the family in the development of the growing season, helping them grow in a stable environment, and improving the social support system of adolescents exposed to delinquency early. In addition, more research should be conducted to identify and solve the various factors that cause delinquency in childhood for individuals.
