Activists scuffle with police at a protest denouncing South Korea's foreign ministry, in front of the ministry headquarters in Seoul, January 19, 2007. South Korean gangsters get more satisfaction from their line of work than the police, according to a survey published on Tuesday. According to the survey conducted among 109 jailed mobsters by the Korean Institute of Criminal Justice, 79.3 percent of gangsters said they were somewhat or very satisfied with their life in organized crime. Some 67 percent of gangsters described their job satisfaction level as "okay" and around 12 percent described it as satisfactory or very satisfactory, Dong-A Ilbo newspaper said. It said only 56 percent of police officers, in a separate survey in 2004, had described their job as okay and around 10 percent called it satisfactory or very satisfactory. South Korean gangsters make on average about $4,255 a month, which is typically higher than the pay for police. The criminal justice survey said crime syndicates in South Korea get most of their money through traditional methods such as extortion, prostitution and gambling. But mobsters have been looking to diversify their operations. The report said films and soap operas which highlight gangsters' loyalty and masculinity -- traits traditionally admired in Korea -- were a major obstacle in cracking down on them. 點(diǎn)擊查看更多雙語(yǔ)新聞 (AFP)

一項(xiàng)于本周二公布的調(diào)查表明，韓國(guó)犯罪分子的“工作滿意度”要比警察高。 這項(xiàng)由韓國(guó)刑事司法研究所開(kāi)展的調(diào)查共對(duì)109名關(guān)押犯進(jìn)行了訪問(wèn)，其中76.3%的匪徒說(shuō)他們對(duì)“有組織的”犯罪生活感到滿意或十分滿意。 據(jù)韓國(guó)《東亞日?qǐng)?bào)》報(bào)道，67%的犯罪分子認(rèn)為自己的“工作”“還不錯(cuò)”，約12%的人覺(jué)得“滿意”或“十分滿意”。 而2004年的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查表明，56%的受訪警察覺(jué)得自己的工作還不錯(cuò)，10%的人覺(jué)得“滿意”或“十分滿意”。 調(diào)查顯示，韓國(guó)犯罪集團(tuán)成員的平均月收入大約為4255美元，比韓國(guó)警察的月工資高得多。 此項(xiàng)調(diào)查表明，韓國(guó)犯罪集團(tuán)的大部分“收入”都是通過(guò)勒索、賣淫和賭博等“傳統(tǒng)”犯罪手段得來(lái)的。 據(jù)報(bào)道，犯罪集團(tuán)的成員一直希望能將作案手段“多樣化”。 報(bào)道中說(shuō)，韓國(guó)一些電影和肥皂劇中常會(huì)對(duì)匪徒的忠心和男子氣概加以突出，而這種精神正是韓國(guó)人歷來(lái)所敬佩的，所以這成為打擊犯罪團(tuán)伙的一個(gè)主要障礙。 （英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津姍姍編輯）
