Because abnormally motivated crimes do not have a specific target and the crimes are brutal, it is easy for the public to fall into fear. In addition, the cause of abnormally motivated crimes is not external, but rather an expression of internal anger, making it difficult to prevent. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly identify abnormally motivated crimes and find appropriate response measures for each type. Abnormally motivated crimes can be divided into mental illness type, reality dissatisfaction type, chronic anger type, addiction type such as drugs and games, and antisocial personality disorder type depending on the cause of anger. In order to deal with these abnormally motivated crimes, first, in the case of mentally ill-type abnormally motivated crimes, treatment and protection at the family and national level for the mentally ill is necessary. In particular, the state should establish a system that can provide treatment at the state's expense by creating specialized personnel and a dedicated organization. Second, in the case of abnormally motivated crimes of the type of dissatisfaction with reality, it is necessary to provide socialization training and a kind of social bond for working life and raising a normal family through cognitive-behavioral therapy programs or mentor programs. Third, in order to prevent chronic anger-type abnormally motivated crimes, it is necessary to strengthen anger management and coping skills. Fourth, prevention education and treatment and protection will be needed rather than crackdown and punishment for addiction crimes such as alcohol or drugs. In addition, in order to prevent people from committing abnormally motivated crimes due to game addiction, etc., it will be necessary to manage them so that they do not become addicted to games, etc. through communication with family or professional interviews. Fifth, in order to deal with abnormally motivated crimes of the antisocial personality disorder type, psychological evaluation and diagnosis are necessary in our country's criminal procedures.
