Means and methods using in maritime smuggling crimes have become diversified and intelligent though the past 7 year-smuggling by seas and smuggling criminal cases coming out recently. Diverse principals are forming through a variety of smuggling ways and routes by point-organizations. In particular, Chinese smuggling recruiters named snakeheads Snakeheads: (Chinese: 蛇头; pinyin: shé tóu) are Chinese gangs that smuggle people to other countries. from WIKIPEDIA. and smuggling helpers living in Korea cooperate to smuggle people into our country by a variety of skillful and smart ways, such as transferring to Korean fishing ships at high seas, pretend to be employed as crews at cargo ships or colluding with crews, contraband landing using fishing ships, landing directly by small sized ships, and breaking away from Jeju by abusing visa-free entry policy. Therefore, as countermeasures, for example, building ships- recognition systems by making location information transmission mandatory, strengthening the maritime smuggling intelligence, enhancement of the system sharing prior information and cooperating with related agencies, reinforcing punishments of smuggling crimes under Immigration Control Law, complementing and reconsidering no-visa entry policy in Jeju and making the system of information exchange and cooperative investigation with China's maritime borders more effectively were proposed. The basic reason of Chinese maritime smugglers is because of economic interests and making money, so the purpose of their smuggling is clear. Since the smugglers have no legal and normal entry records or almost no evidences remain, it is very difficult to track or arrest them without special evidences at smuggling sites. In particular, it’s not only smuggling people, but smuggling, drug trafficking, guns input, contract killing, terrorism, biological weapons and epidemic virus input, etc. also impossible since smuggling itself is a crime. These things threaten the lives of our people and become powerful crimes. Smuggling might threaten national security and cause the collapse of social orders. Therefore, comprehensive and thorough countermeasures and prevention against maritime smuggling are necessary.
