탈북청소년에 대한 신변보호경찰관의 효율적인 지원 방안

Abstract

Recently, there have been an influx of North Korean refugees entering into South Korea, leading to changes in the population among the North Korean refugees. There were more male refugees than female in the past between the ages of the 20's and 30's, but the ratio of females, adolescences, and elders have increased in recent years. North Korean refugees who have entered into South Korea have suffered severely from post-traumatic stress disorder caused by the physical and psychological shock that occurred during the escape from North Korea, and making it difficult for them to settle in South Korea society. In addition they suffer from depression and anxiety due to social discrimination and ignorance during the period of adaptation. One of the reasons of social deviation among young North Korean refugees after settlement is a failure of understanding domestic circumstances. Solving a settlement problem of those young North Korean refugees in South Korea is not simply a solution of the current problem but is also a way to prevent future problems by integrating numerous young North Koreans after the unification of Korea. This is a one indicator for the success of social unification between North and South Korea. Security police has a direct effect in the success of resettlement and has an important role to protect and to assist in the resettlement of young North Korean refugees. This study analyzes the current status of adaptation among young North Korean Refugees in South Korea and the protection problem from security police. Furthermore, this article suggests improved protective roles and services of the police and the systemization of bodyguard services and protection from the arrival of young North Korean refugees. This study begins with an introduction in the first chapter, followed by a theoretical background in the second chapter, current status and problems among young North Korean refugees in the third chapter, an improvement of protection for young North Korean refugees in the fourth chapter, and a conclusion in the final chapter.
