The movie "Criminal City" reflects part of the reality. There are many incidents related to Korean crime in the inner city of South Korea. Similar movies such as Huang Hai have all mentioned it. Koreans are of Chinese nationality, but because of the principle of naturalization, many people also have Korean passports, and some of them are North Koreans who passed through China and transferred to South Korea to live. The crime rate of Japanese Koreans in Japan is higher than that of locals, and these Koreans in South Korea also have a higher crime rate due to economic and integration issues. Of course, most people are good, and this probability is just a descriptive comparison.
It can be seen from the movie that these people live in inner-city ethnic gathering places such as Mount Garry. This is understandable. It is the habitual way of living of immigrants. In modern society, ethnic gathering places are basically spontaneous. Once you connect with the Internet, you will naturally live near those who help you. This principle is also called homophily. The universal nature of humans, and race traitors who strive to escape from the self-loathing of their compatriots are metamorphic derivatives. Of course, Koreans, Koreans, and Yanbian Koreans are all compatriots of the same language. How can they be regarded as an ethnic gathering area? This is because different living habits, dialects, ideologies, and religions can create new ethnic groups. Even Hangzhou can have the Wenzhou Gang in Wenzhou Village. Many Han Ji and Han Buddhists are also in reproductive isolation. The Koreans are in South Korea. Because history, customs, and economic community are obviously a separate ethnic group.
So the question is, why are ethnic areas prone to crime? No race is a natural robber, and the traditional culture of manhole cover stealing and fraud is also a process of acquisition. First of all, the crime rate is very low in an ethnic gathering area that is truly isolated from the outside world. The crime rate is high in those areas that are close to or mixed with other ethnic groups. Such areas generally have many ethnic groups. The theory of social disorganization predicts that ethnic diversity and crime are positively correlated. Later, the community process theory further explained that this is because the trust between different groups in diverse places is not high, resulting in grassroots people's reluctance to actively intervene in crime. This is reflected in the movie, the small owners were reluctant to be nosy at first, and just set the protection fee instead. In addition, in diverse gathering areas, strong groups are more willing to monopolize resources for their own people, and disadvantaged groups cannot establish links to the external social world, which will gradually derive subcultures. This subculture is self-preserving and helping each other in the beginning, but it will more or less become a criminal subculture, because all subcultures are anti-mainstream, the anti-mainstream will deviate, and some deviance will turn into crime.
In the context of globalization, immigration is unavoidable, and therefore diverse ethnic gathering areas cannot be avoided. Guangzhou’s current black area, Beijing’s Wenzhou Village and Xinjiang Village in the 1990s, the first Polish area in southern Chicago and later the black area after the Great Migration, and the banlieu of North Africa in Paris are all such ethnic gathering places. More and more movies show crimes in the context of ethnic gathering areas. South Korea is a relatively homogeneous society, but with the internationalization of crime, it has to face this problem. Chinese symbols are constantly interspersed in the film, but it is very clever and has not risen to national sentiment. It can be said that it is very sensible, and it is indeed a film made by a mature society. It is worth mentioning that South Korea has always done a good job in criminology. Of course, we can't talk to the United States independently, but after all, there are quite a lot of people studying. At the ASC annual meeting in Atlanta last year, I didn’t see a few Chinese. Among the Asians, there were Koreans. Of course, it is also possible that Koreans love their compatriots. many. Then I searched the list of participants, including the United States and South Korea, 25 with the last name of Kim, 4 with Kang, 5 with Jung/Chung, 12 with Choi, Kang accounting for 2.2% of South Korea, Kim accounting for 21.6%, Choi 4.7%, and Jung 4.4. %, then using the simple scale up principle, a total of about 140 Koreans participated in ASC18, accounting for 3% of the total number. Play in South Korea is fine, there are many crime-themed movies, and criminology has also developed rapidly. It can be said that both styles have blossomed.
