한국에서는 54초마다 한 건씩 범죄가 발생하는 것으로 알려졌다.

경찰청이 제출한 국정감사 자료 ‘5대 범죄 범죄시계 발생 현황’에 따르면 올해 1월부터 7월 사이 발생한 5대 범죄는 총 33만 9천 186건이다.

상반기 국내 살인 건수는 545건으로 9시간 20분 24초마다 살인이 1건씩 일어난 셈이고, 강도는 1천 200건으로 6시간 14분 24초마다 일어났다. 강간, 강제추행은 1만2천 234건으로 25분 12초마다 일어났으며, 절도는 총 16만 2천 267건, 1분 53초, 폭력은 16만 2천 940건, 1분 52초마다 일어났다.

경찰청으로부터 보고서를 제출 받은 민주당 김현 의원은 “5대 범죄의 발생 빈도는 국민이 얼마나 위험에 노출됐는지 보여주는 지표”라고 말했다.

Violent crime occurs every minute in S. Korea

How often are major crimes committed in South Korea? Police data shows that one violent crime occurs every 54 seconds.

The National Police Agency released a report titled “Occurrence of the Five Major Crimes,” which said that the number of serious crimes -- murder, robbery, rape, theft and battery -- between January and July this year was 339,186.

During the first half of the year, 545 murders were committed -- or once every nine hours, 20 minutes and 24 seconds.

A robbery took place once every six hours, 14 minutes and 24 seconds (1,200 cases), but sexual assaults happened far more frequently, taking place every 25 minutes and 12 seconds (12,234 cases). Theft (162,267 cases) and battery (162,940 cases) occurred every one minute, 53 seconds and one minute, 52 seconds, respectively.

“The frequency of the five major crimes shows how much South Koreans are exposed to danger,” said lawmaker Kim Hyun of the Democratic Party.
