이 연구는 유신체제 이후 대외비 문서로 분류되어 학자들 사이에서도 잘 알려지지 않았던 『경찰통계연보』의 자살 통계를 통해 1953년부터 2015년까지의 자살자수와 자살률의 시계열적 변화, 자살원인과 자살수단의 장기적인 변화의 추세를 분석하였다. 자살률의 장기시계열적인 변화를 살펴봄으로써 이 논문은 통계청 자살통계로만 파악했을 때 알려지지 않았던 한국사회 1960~70년대 개발독재시기의 자살률 추이를 분석하였고 이 시기 자살률이 매우 높았음을 논의하였다. 그리고 통계청 자살 통계와 경찰청 자살 통계의 비교 검토를 통해 1999년~2007년까지의 통계청 자살 통계가 수정 보완된 점을 지적하였다. 2000년대 초반 통계청 자살 통계의 급증과 관련한 기존 연구의 분석을 검토하면서 통계 작성의 행정적 변화가 자살 통계에 미친 영향에 대해 논의하였다.

'Maeul' is a concept connoting a community. As a place where ordinary people's lives are planned and realized, Maeul is the foundation of their daily lives as well as a place where they work, rest and enjoy pastime activities. In Korea, however, most Maeul communities are dismantled while going though the modern period representing colonization and developmental dictatorship. Growth-oriented industrialization and urbanization turned into such adverse effects as individualization, a sense of loss and a sense of alienation. Recently, through innovations from below, Maeuls are restored, and through Maeul communities restored this way, every Maeul and many researchers carry out activities to build a healthy civil society. This study was conducted on such a background. For a healthy restoration of Maeul communities and a sustainable operation of those communities, it is necessary to establish archives where record the trace of Maeul members' daily lives and relations between those members. The archive of Maeul communities is a place that contains each Maeul's local characteristics as well as human relations as well. It is because this place can be space where Maeul members can record their history, communicate with each other and make a better future. The archive of Maeul communities can be made into various different models, which can be operated by reflecting the identity of a community such as main agents and characteristics, objectives and orientation of objects recorded. Rather than when Maeul communities exist as individuals, they can display more important functions and better effect when they form a network. Therefore, it is needed to provide various and creative methodologies different from the existing government-led record management. Not only on the form of archives, but also all over their functions, such as collection, arrangement, classification, evaluation, management and utilization, Maeul and Maeul residents' norms, orientation and realistic conditions should be thoroughly reflected. Starting from a chance to look back at individuals' lives, the archive of Maeul communities will be a new chapter to restore and build a healthy community in our society and overcome social contradictions from below. Moreover, the archive of Maeul communities has a great significance that it will broaden its prospect creatively with a new paradigm, not only mechanically turning the existing public sector-centered record management into a non-governmental sector.
