Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the alcohol on-premises densities and the corresponding local criminal rates including sexual assault rate and violent assault rate in Seoul.
Methods: The number of markets in a given area was drawn from the Korean Statistical Information Service and the criminal rates were drawn from the White Paper on Crime published by Korean Prosecution Service. These information along with the population, average age, and financial independence rate of each Seoul administrative districts were gathered to compare the numbers by mere numbers of on-premises and criminals then by density and rate. One thousand were applied for calculation of rates and densities as a unit. Then using SPSS 21.0, the multiple regression and the correlation of the variables were calculated.
Results: The boroughs that report the higher densities of alcohol on-premises than average density of Seoul city have been shown the higher criminal rate, sexual assault rate and assault rate generally than the boroughs that report the lower densities than average density of Seoul city. On the contrast the boroughs that report the low densities of alcohol on-premises were shown the low criminal rate as well as assault and sexual assault rate across the board. The criminal rate were effected by the restaurant density as well as the bar density. The regression model (model 2) on the restaurant density explains 84.8% of the criminal rate, 80.1% of sexual assault rate, and 86.5% of assault rate. The alcohol on-premises have effect on assault rate and sexual assault rate.
Conclusion: The alcohol on-premises density was shown to have a significant effect on the criminal rate. These results mean as the alcohol on-premises density increases, the criminal rate especially violent assault and sexual assault rate increases.
