Abstract

Most cases of child abuse in South Korea are caused by parents in the family home. Currently, these types of incidents are growing. Child abuse creates irreparable damage to a child's development and its effects are prolonged. This damage can create a maladjusted adolescent and adult criminal acts. Because of this damage and the long lasting effects on a person and society as a whole, special attention needs to be paid to this pressing issue. South Korea's rapidly changing social environment has created a variety of new family forms including dual-income families and single-parent families. With the current economic downturn and accompanying employment instability, many families exist in uneasy financial and emotional states. The children in these stressful family environments are the most vulnerable and live in risk of experiencing physical or psychological abuse from their parents. In the context of significant and often difficult social changes, this study identifies the characteristics of child abuse based on family status and parental mental health.

우리나라에서 발생하는 아동학대의 대부분은 가정 내에서 부모에 의해 발생하며 해가 갈수록 증가하는 추세이다. 성장기에 있는 아동을 대상으로 한 학대는 아동의 발달전반에 피해를 주며, 그 영향이 장기화되어 청소년기 부적응, 성인기 범죄로까지 이어지기 쉬우므로, 사회의 각별한 주의가 요구된다. 급변하는 사회 환경 속에서 맞벌이, 한 부모 가족 등 다양한 가족형태가 등장했으며, 취약한 경제구조속에서 가장들의 고용형태의 불안정은 가족들을 더욱 불안하게 만들고 있다. 이러한 환경 속에서 힘이 없는 아동은 무방비 상태로 부모로부터 신체적, 정신적 학대를 경험할 위험에 놓인다. 어려운 사회 경제적 환경 속에서 어떤 형태의 가정에서 아동학대가 많이 발생하는지에 대하여 회귀모형을 통하여 연구하였다.
