The research for victimology in Korea, which had some precedent studies between 1970s and 1990s, has been briskly done in-depth research since 1990s. Victimology which originates from interests on crime itself based on world views and values has become highly important for victims. This research is done for comparing past research trends with current ones and at the same time reflecting some problems for improving current status of victimology. For this research, I used empirical methodologies for analyzing current trends in Korean victimology and also utilized content analysis for some purposes.
