In other words, this crime indicators are being tools for identification and analysis of specific status that multicultural families faces, measuring its goals and objectives in policy. Thus, these crime indicators are needed to implement predictable government system in establishing its policy and doing an accurate diagnosis as well as improving the quality of life for family members. However, the government's vision on policy suggestion toward multicultural families, though, has been limited to the part of education and social service which do not meet requirements of their families. Each institutional and social support including Ministry of Gender, Employment and Labor, Justice, Culture and Tourism, Education, Science, and Technology, the National Police Agency which are given to them are also redundant or weak in some activities at social risk emergence and criminal victimization. Issues of the social support system are that they are lack of prior information on members of multicultural families and did not formulate policy with reflection of their requirements. In particular, the statistical indicators for them are composed of only as demographic representation on comprehensive indicator despite their social risk factors have the closest relationship with crime occurrence and criminal damage components. This study divides crime indicators for multicultural families into two large and six middle scale classification categories with fifteen index indicators based on the index system of National Statistics Office. For the development of crime indicators, theoretical studies by literature review are carried out with empirical research resulted from surveys. Crime indicators are modified and supplemented to suit for the model of this study, having variables which were dealt with in previous researches at base. Surveys and in-depth interviews were conducted from May 10th to June 10th of 2011, targeting 14 professionals in academics and executives for the verification of index entry's importance and the validity in items that are appeared in crime index for multicultural families. Expert surveys are achieved, largely focused on "the classification of crime indicators for multicultural families, the importance of each items in indicators, and the entry comments on index items". In addition, final draft of crime index for multicultural families is drawn from these analysis results. Further utilization strategies are suggested by the development purposes, related organizations, for the activation of the study and the educational support.
