South Korea Criminals

Local Criminal Rosters (Jun-kwa Kirok)
These criminal rosters identify the names and residences of individuals who are not likely to appear in genealogies or other sources because their antisocial behavior violated Confucian ethics and, thus, required censure. They contain lists of criminals and escapees, including name, residence, and, in some cases, name of custodian of criminal's property arranged by locality. Records exist from 1800 to 1910.

Records are deposited at the Kyujanggak collection, Seoul National University Library. Accessibility is unknown. These records appear not to be easily accessible to the general population.
