Traffic crime has a significant impact, accounting for approximately 30-40% of all crimes.
(Still, it has decreased significantly over the past 10 years)
In addition, other things such as ‘business owners and part-time workers who sell cigarettes or alcohol to teenagers’ and ‘unlicensed street vendors’ are also caught.
In fact, more than 10 million people living in South Korea have a criminal record.
Then why are 50% men?
Of course, there is a strong tendency for those who commit it to commit it again and again.
Excluding minors who are not caught in statistics, 10 million of the remaining male and female criminals are criminals, and if male criminals are like that, roughly half of them are.
Of course, traffic-related issues, misdemeanors, and investigations are also included, so they are different from what we think of as ex-convicts.
For reference, the above data is released by the National Police Agency.
