Abstract

Korea is expected to enter a super-aged society by 2025, with the proportion of the elderly population accounting for 20.3 percent of the total population. In order to prepare for a super-aged society, it is time to discuss how to respond to the safety of the elderly among social countermeasures. In this study, we will consider each hazard field for the safety of the elderly in the field of police activities. The research method analyzes each hazard field of elderly safety in a matrix approach among all risk approaches. The scope of the hazard field was compressed into fields of crime, traffic and abuse directly related to police activities. The results of the hazard fields analysis were as follows: In the criminal field, murder, robbery, rape, arson, and injury were classified as high risk, and violence, theft, and fraud were classified as moderate risk. In the traffic field, whether elderly people are victims or perpetrators, death accidents were classified as extreme risks and in the case of injuries, moderate risks. In the abuse field, physical and sexual abuse was classified as extreme risks, emotional abuse as high risk, and economic abuse as moderate risk. The probability of risk occurrence was the most common in violence, fraud, theft, traffic, physical abuse and sexual abuse, and in the case of violent crime and economic abuse, the probability was not high. The impact of danger was high in violent crime and physical, emotional and sexual abuse factors, indicating that it was the most dangerous factor in the safety of the elderly. To reflect the findings, the following policy suggestions were presented: First, they include the establishment of specific security policies for the safety of the elderly, second, the expansion of social awareness of the safety of the elderly, third, the establishment of a safety education system for the elderly as a countermeasure for each factor, the fourth, the establishment of a forecasting system for risk factors, the fifth, the formation of a consultative body for cooperation and immediate esponse of related agencies, and the sixth, the preparation of specific bills for the safety of the safety of the safety.
