사회안전을 위한 경찰 변화 방안

Abstract

The followings are emerged as new social safety-threatening problems; foreign workers and women who immigrate to Korea to find jobs or marry to Korean men whose numbers are increasing under the name of globalization, game industry, and the personal and self-centered trends which tend to pursue their own interests. The more the society concentrates on capitalization, the more its safety network weakens. The society has so far kept its stability by public authority, but it recently shows its limitation in coping swiftly with various social and periodical changes. The police has been enforcing law in the foremost of social security. Recently it, however, keeps showing its limits on maintaining social safety. So, to make sure social safety, the present police system should be reformed. In other words, the current national police system is necessary to be replaced in the one that improves its ability to correspond rapidly to a variety of situations and satisfies the needs of regions throughout the country. Therefore, the national police system should be reformed to the one which centers on regions and offers social safety services in the comprehensive category of social safety, not by exercising its power.
