Abstract

This study is to analyze and diagnose the private investigation researches in Korea and to examine the shortcomings of the preceding studies. Through such examination, this study seeks to analyze the preceding private investigations for in-depth private investigation research. Private investigation refers to a private person’s activity of offering security service such as investigation by getting pays. As the judicial authorities offer limited security services, increased number of citizens demand better security services. However, although there have been continuous attempts to legalize the private investigation since 1998, private investigation has not been legalized yet. Academic fields have started to research on private investigation since 2000s to legislate acts related to private investigation and to develop new security service. The researches, however, are still in the early stage. The researches on private investigation focused on introduction of private investigation, necessity, overseas examples, and acts related to private investigation. However, the researches have been very limited in the aspects of diversity and empirical study. For development of private investigation system and for profits of private investigator, this study suggests diversity of private investigation and strengthening of empirical study as the corresponding measures.
