Sex crimes are increasingly a social problem, therefore a statistical study was conducted on seventy-three cases of sex-related homicides autopsied in Seoul during ten year period from 1972 to 1981. The data was compared with those from other cities and municipalities and the results are summarized as follows;
1. Sex-related homicides comprised 0.9 percent of all inedicolegal autopsies performed in Seoul during the 10 year period from 1972 to 1981.
2. Most victims of sex-related homicides were in their twenties. This is contrast to reports from other countries where the victims were mostly in their teens.
3. Greater number of sex-related homicides occured in women who were not employed. Both in Korea and abroad, a single woman was more likely to become a victim of a sex crime.
4. Greater number of sex-related homicides occured in autumn and weekends.
5. Greater number of sex-related homicides occured at night and outside buildings.
6. Hymenal injury occured more often on the lower half.
7. The most common cause of death in sex crimes was manual strangulation.
8. A positive test for seminal fluid was obtained in 94. 5 percent of the cases, and spermatozoa was identified in 64.4 percent of the cases.
