일본의 실종자 수색제도에 관한 검토

Abstract

There is no single law related to the search for missing persons in Japan. Therefore, the 「Act on the Protection and Support of Missing Children, ETC.」 has not been prepared for missing children like Korea. However, as the basis for the search for missing persons, it is legislated in a way that regulates the missing persons, such as missing adults and children, without distinguishing them. In other words, the 「Rules on Missing Persons Discovery Activities」, a rule of the National Public Safety Commission, directly stipulates the procedures for searching for missing persons, and each local government has enacted and implemented ordinances and ordinances to interpret and operate these rules. In addition, the 「Police Act」, 「Enforcement Decree of the Police Act」, 「Enforcement Rules of the Police Act」, and 「Ordinance of the National Police Agency Organization」 are located as laws based on the 「Enforcement Rules on Missing Persons Discovery Activities」. Japan's missing person search system differs from Korea's missing person search system in the definition of a missing person, the status of the search and investigation for the missing person, registration of information on the missing person information system (profiling), and provision of location information, and at the same time provides implications.
