| Research Abstract |
We examine the differences in psychological and emotional characteristics between Japan and South Korea in inmates of correctional facilities by using some standardized questionnaires. More than 400 inmates (including male and female) of correctional facilities were subjected in this study. According obtained data, we confirmed Japanese inmates of correctional facilities had significantly severe ACEs compared to Korean counterparts.In addition, Korean inmates of correctional facilities had significantly higher self -esteem than Japanese counterparts. These results suggested that there were some differences in mechanisms of aggravated delinquency between Japan and South Korea. Additionally, various type of psychiatric and developmental disorders such as ADHD, learning disorders, eating disorders, and mood disorders, were reported in Japanese correctional facilities, on the other hand, there were small number reports in Korean. It is possible to interpret that practitioners in Korean correctional facilities have not recognized these disorders among inmates.
