민간조사제도의 도입에 관한 논의 - 국회 관련법률안을 중심으로 -

Abstract

The private investigation means that the individuals or the corporation(ex. private firms), as private status, investigate the facts or cases requested by ordinary citizens on behalf of national organizations(ex. police etc.). Since the private investigation began in the 19th century, it has been assumed a leading place among private security in most other countries, U.K., France, U.S., Canada and Japan etc. In these countries the private investigation is defined by laws and regulations. However our country don’t have laws and regulations related to the private investigation. So, the private investigation by detective agency or errand center etc. has been going on through the illegal or inappropriate methods and process. Therefore, also in our country, the private investigation system should be introduce to control such illegal or inappropriate private investigation. And we have to immediately enact the law as to the private investigation. I argue about the content of this legislation as follows;First, the scope of the private investigation business be fixed by the legislations. Second, the National Police Agency have to be in charge of the regulatory and supervisory function for the private investigation for the efficiency of the private investigation business. Third, the qualification of a private investigator should be strictly defined by the legislations to improve and enhance the quality of the private investigation. And it should be to make engagement of the experienced workers, the police etc., a breeze. Finally, the private investigation business should be allowed to the individual as well as the corporate body. But whether to enact the Private Investigation Act or revise the Security Service Industry Act for the introduction of the private investigation system is nothing but a problem of the legislative policy.
