AB - The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of recent child abduction and kidnapping incidents in Korean society, and to suggest prevention and countermeasures. In the past five years, crimes of exploitation and inducement for minors have been steadily increasing, and the spread of digital media and the weakening of social care functions are working in combination. This paper comprehensively considered the motives, methods, institutional loopholes, and response systems of child abduction from the legal, social, and psychological perspectives.
As a result of the study, the main causes of kidnapping were social structural factors (double punishment, increase of single parents), criminal motives for sexual purposes, lack of legal punishment, and limitations of preventive education. Accordingly, this paper intends to propose policy alternatives such as strengthening the response system of police and prosecutors, making CCTV mandatory in child protection zones, expanding elementary school safety bells, practical education for parents, and establishing a digital grooming crime response system.
