Abstract

This study examined to find more detailed and realistic items about any perceived rewards and costs under the assumption that people had a consider pros and cons from any of their behavioral outcomes, that decision-making process was about benefiting themselves, when people were placed within a specific criminogenic situation. The method in this study was applied a 'subject-generated' technique that was proposed and demonstrated by Bouffard(2002, 2007), presented a hypothetical criminogenic scenario relevant to violence, arson, and homicide to 370(169 male, 201 female) university students, and discovered various detailed items about their own costs and rewards of the criminal conduct. Multiresponse frequency analysis of their response was done. The most frequently responded items were：'self-esteem'(rewards of violence), 'to be bad guys as he'(costs of violence); 'vent one´s anger'(rewards of arson), 'be unchanged'(costs of arson); 'vent one´s anger'(rewards of homicide), 'guilt feeling'(costs of homicide). Also, the logistic regression analysis of frequently responded items were performed to explore the probability of reporting by gender, age, and offending probability level. The probability of reporting of rewards and costs were：'social support'(rewards of violoence) was higher for male than female, 'legal punishment'(costs of violence) decreased as one became older; 'resentment of society'(rewards of arson) decreased as became older; 'protecting one's own life'(rewards of homicide) decreased as subject have a larger the probability of offending, and 'lack of courage to kill'(costs of homicide) was less males than females. In these results, detailed and realistic items were analyzed by perspective of PIC-R. In addition to this, the analyses of the rational choice theory and this study were compared. The limitations of this study, suggestions of future research, and political implications in crime prevention should be discussed.
