Second, in the aspect of public order activity expansion and cooperative public order activation, positive answer (70.2%) implies that citizens recognized positively private investigation system introduced, because they judged that reliance on public order will be raised. The result coincides with the question result similar to the one targeted at police officers in Lee Chang Hun (2011a: 472-473)’s study. That is, citizens and police groups expect that private investigation system introduced will make up for public order service blank due to cooperative public order. Third, in the aspect of raising social safety, citizens recognized the introduction to be positive by positive answer (81.2%) generally. It coincides with the highest recognition over citizen’s safety in Choi Hyeon Rak (2008: 85-86)’s study. Fourth, in the aspect of police’s competition enhancement, higher positive answer (71.6%) than negative answer (6.1%) shows citizen’s recognition that private investigation system introduced will make up for insufficient services. It coincides with Jo Seong Gu (2012: 54-55)’s study in which police group have a positive recognition. Fifth, in the aspect of economic activation, somewhat higher positive answer (48.2%) than negative answer (11.1%) shows citizen’s positive recognition over the introduction. Concerning the question, ‘in case private investigation system (detective system) should be legalized, business demand will increase’, citizens made somewhat positive higher answer (59.2%) than negative answer (5.9%). To the question, ‘in case private investigation system should be legalized, private demand will increase’, citizens made higher affirmative answer (65.0%) than negative answer (3.7%). It means that citizens recognize that individual demand (65.0%) will be more than business demand (59.2%). In conclusion, citizens expect that the legalization of a lot of illegal private investigation affairs by existing detective agencies through the introduction of private investigation system will have a positive effect, as a social effect, with citizen right protection, social safety, cooperative public order and economic activation which interacts on each other. This study has a meaning in that it verified the recognition of citizen, real demanders, through experiential study for the purpose of discussing on existing private investigation system introduced. But, for the purpose of grasping introduction effect of private investigation system, the study must be performed in the aspect of economic effect.
