There have been several investigations of domestic violence, which dealt mainly with
spouse-violence at home or investigated only limited areas or had a few samples as a individual
level. On the other hand, this was the first time on a national basis for the actual condition of
domestic violence including couples and children, and elderly parents.
The investigation was performed on a national household basis on 6,156 adults (male:
3,071, female: 3,085) who have or have been married to examine the actual condition of
spouse-violence, violence against children, and violence against parents per household. The
investigation was performed on a one-to-one individual interview method.
In addition, the actual condition of violence against children was investigated with 1,047
individuals under 18 years of age for the viewpoint of victims to supplement the results from
adult respondents. .

the results of the national survey in Korea, secondly, the processing of the law enactment with
the view of the victim, and finally the indicators of the survey for this meeting,
