한국과 일본 경비업법의 개요 및 시사점에 관한 연구

Abstract

Private security industry in Korea has grown dramatically in terms of numbers of private security companies and their employees for last several decades. However, if we look at its quality of services, there are many weak points which should be improved in the future. As an attempt to solve dilemma, this study tries to get a lesson from Japan which shares similar environment and history in the development of private security industry. Thus, the purpose of this study is to review and compare main contents of private security laws in Korea and Japan and suggest implications to upgrade services of Korean private security industry. Based on comparative studies of Korean and Japanese private security industry laws, this study points out three implications. First, professional certificate systems in specific fields of private security industry are highly recommended and expanding and diversifying areas of private security industry is needed. Second, systematic and regular education for the employees of private security industry should be emphasized to win public trust. Third, systems to protect and help customers who are not familiar with technical aspects of private security services must be well prepared. These implications are expected to offer good directions for Koeran private security industry to be a reliable social safety industry.
