강력범죄자의 수사를 지원하기 위해 범죄자 프로파일링 기법이 개발된 이후, 대부분의 연구들은 범죄자의 유형 분류를 위한 기준으로 범죄자의 동기에 초점을 두어왔다. 그러나 범행 동기는 사건 발생 직후 수집된 정보만으로는 확인되기 어려우며 범인이 검거된 이후에 범인조차도 자신의 동기를 명확하게 진술하지 못하는 경우가 많다는 점 등의 한계가 지적되면서 최근의 연구들은 사건발생 직후 파악할 수 있는 정보에 근거한 범죄자의 행동을 통해 범죄자의 유형을 분류하고자 시도해왔다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 방화범죄자의 현장 행동에 근거하여 방화범죄의 유형을 분류하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 첫째, 외국의 연구에서 제시된 방화범죄 유형이 한국의 방화범죄 자료에 의해서도 지지되는가를 검증하고, 둘째로 한국의 방화범죄에 적합한 유형을 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 2006년~2009년 검거된 방화범죄자 127명의 사건 자료를 수집하였으며, 선행연구에서 제시된 41개의 행동변인에 대한 다차원척도 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 선행연구에서 제시된 유형은 한국의 방화범죄 유형 모델로 적합하지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 분석 결과 5개의 유형이 산출되었다.
Recent studies for the criminal profiling have focused on the relation between offenders' behaviors at a crime scene and offender characteristics. For Korean offenders, a study has been performed to search for the model to differentiate the homicide and rape offenders based on criminal acts at the crime scenes, but there were no research attempts to profile the characteristics of Korean arsons. The purpose of this study is finding the framework to understand Korean arsons based on the characteristics of crime scenes and criminal acts. To achieve this goal, actions at the crime scenes drawn from police data were analysed using MDS(N=127). The result did not support the model of the thematic classification proposed by earlier western research but revealed the existence of five themes among Korean arsons. Among these, two themes was dominant; expressive/instrumental actions. Finally, comparison between this model and earlier one was made.
