Abstract

Traditionally, man who is in the state of drunken is treated rather leniently, because it is hard to charge responsibility to the criminal law. Specially in a view of drinking culture in Korea, it is common that any minor misbehavior under the influence of alcohol can be easily forgiven by others, and people say “how this can be so!” However, Those who are heavily drunken not only can not protect their body and might be victimized by violent robbers, but also might cause not only various health problems but also serious crimes to others and this society. Currently, numbers of crimes by drunken people are increasing and quality of police jobs for crime prevention and civil service is downward due to over-spending of police capacity to treat heavily drunken people. Thus, we should not tolerate current situations and actively seek out reasonable legal system to solve this problem, and it is necessary to create more systematic and efficient systems to protect heavily drunken people and help their safe returning home. Currenttly, the act of heavily drunken people is used of methods of expression of social dissatisfaction, thus this act is easy to disturb public order and to bring about social anxiety. so, Heavy drinking is to cut off not to develop to other crimes. Meanwhile, in the treat of heavily drunken people, medical protection is very important to heavily drunken people, therefore it is necessary to establish the program for effetive treatment to heavily drunken people. In this point, the treatment of heavily drunken people is not only police administrative process but also social welfare administrative process and the latter is more significant. Thus, main administrative organ of heavily drunken people treatment is not police but a local government. Police is in charge of beginning step and a local government and medical agency take follow up measure, this is reasonable system. Additionally, to achieve original goals of the protection act for the treatment of heavily drunken people, fundamental change in acknowledge of drinking culture and education and publicity through various methods are essential.
