  • The purpose of this study is to suggest a plan which can minimize and solve criminal injuries of domestic violence that marriage migrant women in multicultural families who live in Korea experience in Korean so-ciety. For this, it concretely analyzed the domestic status of marriage migrant women in multicultural fami-lies, types and causes of criminal injuries of domestic violence that marriage migrant women in multicul-tural families who live in Korea experience in Korean society and examined the police’s responses to solve criminal injuries of domestic violence against them. It examined the criminal injury types of domestic vio-lence that marriage migrant women in multicultural families experience by classifying them into physical violence, psychological violence, economic violence, and sexual violence. And the causes of criminal injuries of domestic violence against them were analyzed to be caused by a false sense of ownership of women, the phenomena that domestic violence which is rampant in society is connived, and rapidly changing social environment. And in order to solve these problems, it examined the police’s responses by classifying them into the institutional level, cooperation with other agencies, and the educational level. For the police’s re-sponses at the institutional level, it suggested improvement of the police’s responsive ways, the vitaliza-tion of police activities, and the vitalization of various social and cultural programs for marriage migrant women in multicultural families. For the police’s responses through cooperation with other agencies, it dis-cussed the creation of institutional devices for participating in crime prevention activities of domestic vio-lence by connecting them to multicultural families, the immigration office, cities, counties, borough offices, multicultural centers, educational institutions, civic organizations, social welfare centers, etc. and active police-centered activities for preventing crimes of domestic violence. For the police’s responses at the edu-cational level, it examined the necessity of requiring the operation and expansion of professional and effec-tive multicultural educational programs targeting police officers.

  • Purpose; Cyber sexual violence is a sexual crime deriving from information and communication technol-ogy such as the Internet and digital devices including camera and has become a serious social issue. The government has enacted various legislations and eradicative measures, yet the spread of cyber sexual crime images and its re-distribution are not eliminated, but constantly increasing. Hence, this study would propose a Webhard Monitoring System. The proposal Webhard Monitoring system stores extracted features from cyber sexual violence images in database, utilize the stored data for various techniques such as Text-based, Content-based and Seman-tic-based retrievals. When any image with high index of similarity with the crime image is retrieved, the image is downloaded and checked, and then notify the webhard. The webhard with the retrieval result re-ception blocks any access to the crime image and transfer the personal information of the image uploader to identification information monitoring system. The system stores and manages the original crime piece and uploader personal information received from the webhard and characteristics of the image for further monitoring processes. This proposes a monitoring system to rapidly and accurately monitor webhards. The proposal webhard monitoring system retrieves and deletes cyber sexual crime image to prevent re-distribution, and even al-lows tracking the first distributor of the crime image in the webhards. Considering the characteristics of cyber sexual violence – unavailability of victims to recognize their damage and time-consuming cost to rec-ognize the damage – immediate blocking and deleting the cyber sexual violence image is urgently neces-sary regardless of the request by victims.

  • Purpose; English, an internationally recognized language, is often used as a Lingua Franca for dealing with the business environment of each country or international affairs. In addition, police officers in each country are increasingly using English to carry out civil affairs and crime-related tasks related to foreigners. As the number of foreigners visiting or residing in Korea gradually increases, police officers are increasingly required to use English in their daily working environment. Due to the nature of the work, the police require high professional ethics and professionalism. For this reason, careful and strict standards and procedures are required for recruiting police officers. This study aims to examine the supplementary point of the situa-tion in which the TOEIC test, the new standard for the adoption of the written test for police recruitment, is used as a universal indicator of the recruitment standard for police officers. It is necessary to examine whether the TOEIC test developed to evaluate English proficiency used in a general everyday business situ-ation is appropriate as a test necessary to recruit talented persons in the police work environment, which has some special purpose. There seems to be a need to discuss a test configuration that can develop into a test that examines the complementary points of the deficiency and devises an alternative that has a role as a better police officer recruitment test, thereby verifying the ability as a potential police officer. This can be seen as a preliminary step to apply the intrinsic characteristics of special-purpose English to universal em-ployment tests. To this end, it can be said to be a necessary discussion to develop a variety of learning cur-riculum and develop a pinpoint learning strategy to develop a police officer exam with reliability and validi-ty. Therefore, this study intends to suggest ways to improve the English test item designs conducted in the recruitment process of police officers.

  • The use of volunteer officers provides numerous benefits for law enforcement agencies, including the ability to increase trust between police and the community, to reduce the workload of a department, and to maintain or extend services without further depleting a budget. The United States and the United Kingdom both employ the use of volunteer officers. However, there has been little comparative work on these two areas of the policing system. This research first discusses the volunteer system of policing in both the United States and United Kingdom, followed by findings on the confidence of officers from both areas as they relate to police duties. While Britain’s form of policing greatly influenced American policing, the two do not have the same policing system. There are a few major differences between these aspects of the policing system for both countries. First, the decentralized system in the United States does not have a standardized recruitment or training procedure. However, there are minimum requirements set forth by the individual state or federal agencies(e.g., the FBI, CIA, DEA, etc.). Within the United Kingdom, the centralized nature sets forth a standardized recruitment and training procedure that, for every department, is overseen by the government. Aside from the nature of the policing system, when compared to reserve deputies in Florida, special con-stables(who are similar in function and power to reserve deputies) receive much less training. Further, special constables echo this reality in their self-reporting, where far fewer special constables believed their training to be adequate in preparation for police duties compared to reserve deputies in Florida(3.2% vs. 37.5%). Additionally, special constables were less confident in their ability to conduct interviews and administrative tasks. Policy implications and limitations of the present study are also discussed.

  • Community-oriented policing(COP) has become a major approach in U.S. contemporary policing. Community relations and problem solving are main elements of COP. In this study, the author attempted to identify preferable values in the era of COP and examine the values of college students pursuing a police occupation as a future career. The examination of value differences across gender and race and the impact of value orientations on college students’ job desirability were also interests in this study. With 200 college students in New York City, the findings provided crucial implications to understand value orientations of U.S. police officers. Police applicants, compared to those pursuing other occupations, tend to be male college students majoring in criminal justice who devalue the importance of “equality” and “wisdom.” The value orientations of these police applicants do not adequately hold preferable values in the era of COP. However, females and minorities tend to have more preferable values than males and whites.

  • Since the number of members who have a variety of langue and cultural backgrounds due to the expansion of exchanges between countries and cultures recently is increased, the Korean society changes to a multicultural society rapidly and the number of multicultural families is increasing. As the Korean society enters into the multicultural society, the number of multicultural background learners with various language and cultural backgrounds is swiftly increasing at school, a problem of Korean education for them is raised as a current issue and the phenomenon of not adjusting school life because of failure of communication, low school performance, identity crisis, and school violence problems, is increasing as well. Recently, efforts to cultivate social adaptability of children from multicultural family through establishments of language education policy, education for understanding multiculture and multicultural alternative school. Yet, children from multicultural family are suffering from adaptation to school and to social lives. To cultivate their social adaptability, their self-esteem and identity should be established. Moreover, broader bond of sympathy to support language and multicultural education should be formed in a community level, and various supports and policies at a social level should be prepared based on the bond. This study aims at exploring measures to have children from multicultural family obtain a sense of be-longing and identity in school and social lives in South Korea and adapt successfully to the community. Therefore, causes of social misfit of children from multicultural family are classified into intrinsic aspects – damaged self-esteem and self-identity confusion and Korean exclusiveness – and extrinsic aspects - academic underachievement and school life misfit from lacking communication capability, economic difficulty, insufficiency of active multiculture education policy and school violence – and are observed. As countermeasures to social misfit of children from multicultural family, bilingual culture education, Korean language education and multicultural education programs in educational aspects, and active response by the police, preparation of institutional measures to prevent crimes, various development and reinforcement of socio-cultural programs and institutional solutions to solve economic difficulty in social aspects are suggested.

  • Purpose; This study focuses on the establishment of an IoT convergence-based police communication skills improvement system for improving police English proficiency. As the number of foreign visitors to Ko-rea increases, the police work environment in Korea also needs to change accordingly. To this end, this study examines the English proficiency that police officers need in the course of their work, and suggests an appropriate English proficiency improvement system and English education improvement plan to improve English proficiency, which is essential for police officers in their working environment. Police officer candidates invest a lot of time and effort to improve their English proficiency to pass the police recruitment test. After the appointment, there are many cases where the working environment can-not be handled without the support of foreign affairs due to the failure to use proper English. Although English tests are being conducted to evaluate candidates' English proficiency in the recruitment process of Korean police officers, the type of test currently being conducted is solely focused on the calculation of successful candidates through discrimination of English scores. However, high scores on the police English test do not verify the English proficiency required in a real work environment. As a result, the effectiveness of English proficiency has been questioned in the police officer's performance. Unlike in the past, the number of foreigners visiting Korea for a short time or long-term stays steadily is increasing and the situation where frontline police officers, such as foreigner-related complaints and incidents have to be carried out by the police work directly against foreigners, is also increasing. In order to solve such complex problems, a system for improving and evaluating English proficiency of front-line police officers is needed. To this end, this study suggests IoT-based convergence police English proficiency improvement contents.

  • The remuneration of police is the monetary reward paid by the government for police officials' service in office. The basic form of the remuneration system consists largely of additional allowances on the basis of basic pay. Police are a state-run agency that conducts the most basic and important tasks of protecting the lives, bodies and property of the people and maintaining the public peace. In reality, however, the po-lice are not paid enough to meet the responsibilities and difficulty of the job, and even in light of the job characteristics, they are paid less than general service and public security officials with lower responsibilities and difficulty than the police. As a result, discussions on improving the police's remuneration system have been made in many preceding studies, but the reflection on this is insufficient. A prior study on police remuneration generally points to problems in the current police remuneration system, and argues for improvements. Therefore, through a previous studies review, I suggested the enactment of the independent police remuneration law and the improvement of police personnel management. This independent remuneration law should reflect the special nature of police officers, and should also require the readjustment of relevant laws. The Act is also considered reasonable in that it can minimize resistance from members of the organization to operate with the addition of position classification elements while maintaining the existing remuneration systems of rank classification. In order to improve the ultimate remuneration system, it is thought that the government should adjust the number of ranks of police, improve the evaluation of performance of service for the linkage with the evaluation of performance of service, improve the promotion system for the linkage with the promotion system, and reform the field-oriented workforce. Therefore, if the overall improvement of the police per-sonnel management system is realized, it will be able to increase police morale. The promotion of police morale could lead to an increase in the benefit of people.

  • The Korean government recently announced a strong motivation to introduction of a local police system. The local police system is within the scope of local self-government and can not be discussed separately from local self-government. In other words, it is necessary to introduction of a local police system to complete the local self-governing system and to promote its system. The local police system should be able to realize the basic ideology of the local self-government of the constitution and the grassroots of democracy. To do so, the local police system needs to be implemented by the basic local government. In addition, the local police office should be able to carry out the tasks required for securing the local security, such as advanced overseas systems. However, the current Korean government has a limit that does not meet the intent of local self-government. In other words, the local police system is set up as a metropolitan government, which has the limitation of violating the rights of the basic local government. In addition, in the case of the local police affairs, it is restricted to the administrative police affairs and simple sexual violence and domestic violence, therefore its limited to per-form the police affairs. Therefore, this study examines whether the local police system announced by the present government meets the local self-governing system.
