The purpose of this study was, firstly in Korea, to investigate characteristics of corpse-disgracing homicide by looking into the realities of corpse-disgracing homicide. Though official statistics was not complete, fifteen murderers were confirmed to commit corpse-disgracing homicide. All of their documented records were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. According to the definition of subcategories of Necrophilics no pure Necrophilics exist. That is, no one committed murder to be in love with dead body, but there were pseudo-necrophilics stimulated by corpses instantly. Inmates who committed corpse-disgracing homicides were from deprived environment and from low economic status. They used to be physically inferior. Because of such defects, they must have little opportunities to have relationship with women. Based on the MMPI profiles most of the participants who committed corpse-disgracing homicides presented relatively high score of Pd. Additionally murderers who had genital insertion, instead of alien substance insertion showed relatively high score of D. With consideration of MMPI profiles it is inferred that some murderers who committed corpse-disgracing homicides must have psychosis. However, they were institutionalized in a correctional facility instead of psychiatric unit. Although these people desperately needed medical care they were expected to behave like average inmates. If the present capacity of psychiatric units is too small, more metal health professionals should be employed at correctional facilities.

The purpose of this study is to examine female violent crimes in Korea. The topic of female violence has long been neglected and understudied. Because women only represent a small proportion of violent offenders, little scholarly work identifies characteristics or situations that increase women's risks for violent offending. But, female violent criminals has shown an increasing trend. For, this reason, there is a need to examine female violence. Court trial records were used to study the realities of female violent crimes. The important results from court trial records are as follows： Female violent offenders tend to have shorter criminal records than male violent offenders. The most popular reason for committing violent crime among female criminals was 'because of anger', followed by 'because of quarrel'. In 60% of female violent crimes was there a personal relationship between the victim and the offender. 50% of male violent offenders committed violence toward stranger. The actions of the victims in female violent crimes were aggressive. However, the actions of the victims were not as aggressive as those of the female violent offenders. Based on reviewing characteristics of female violent crime, it suggest several ways for effective countermeasures.
