우리나라는 인구의 고령화가 급속하게 진전되어 총인구 중 65세 이상의 비율이 향후 급증할 것으로 전망되고 있다. 따라서 경찰활동과 관련하여 고령화에 따른 노령인구에 대한 치안서비스의 준비가 논의되어야 할 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 노령인구를 주 대상으로 하여 경찰의 치안서비스 강화에 대해 연구하고자 한다. 고령화에 따른 예상되는 문제점으로 첫째, 노인빈곤과 관련된 생계형 범죄의 증가이다. 이는 생계형 범죄뿐만 아니라 노인자살의 문제를 야기할 수 있는 요소가 된다. 둘째, 사회활동의 증가에 따른 교통사고의 증가이다. 셋째, 노인의 인지능력 저하를 이용한 사기와 같은 재산범죄 증가이다. 이와 같은 현상에 경찰의 사전적 적극적인 시급한 대응이 필요하다. 변화하는 사회적 환경의 변화 속에서 노령인구를 대상으로 한 전문적인 치안서비스가 전개되어야 한다. 노령인구의 범죄피해를 차단할 수 있으며, 또한 노령인구가 범죄의 가해자로서 변질되지 않도록 대안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.

The elderly aged over 50 years old were extracted from the data of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) in 2016. The data was analyzed by descriptive analysis, chi-squared test, and binary logistic regression analysis, using SAS 9.4. As a result, the elderly who were excluded from labor, residence, health, and relationship were found to be associated to depression. In addition, male with resident exclusion were associated with depression compared to non-excluded. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the local community programs in which elderly people can participate in labor and cultural activity. It is necessary to improve labor and culture exclusion by increasing the participation opportunities of various cultural programs.

Due to the aging population and the entry of baby boomers into the elderly, the elderly are recognized as a group with diversity rather than a single group with the same needs. Therefore, it is necessary to try to grasp the factors that the elderly use welfare centers from the perspective of consumers. The results showed that gender, age, education, occupation, economic status, social class, number of friends, number of social activities, number of diseases, and depression were significant. In other words, women than men, older people, highly educated people, elderly people without jobs, elderly people with poor economic status, the elderly belonging to a lower social class, the more friends, the more social activities involved, the more diseases, the higher the depression, the higher the probability of using the welfare center. It was found that heterogeneous elderly groups, such as the elderly with high educational background, many friends, and active participation in society, and the elderly, economically difficult, and poor in health, use the welfare center. Based on these research results, policy and practical suggestions were made to improve the quality of welfare services for the elderly.

This study regards the need for jobs to overcome the poverty of the elderly in an aged society, and as well as researches ways to participate in active economic activities in old age. The results of the study are as follows. First, the legal system needs to be improved. In addition to institutional support for the expansion of jobs for the elderly, improvement of awareness of the elderly and reinforcement of infrastructure such as a delivery system are required, and a legal basis for this is needed. To this end, occupations targeting the elderly must be selected first, and legal procedures must be prepared by the government. Second, there must be social consideration and support for the elderly. Extension of the retirement age plays an important role in enhancing employment for the elderly. Along with the improvement of the legal system, social consideration is required. Therefore, since the elderly policy without social consensus is bound to fail, various support methods that can lead to social support must be devised. Third, the elderly must have a sense of poverty and willingness to rehabilitate themselves. Elderly people should not only ask for their children and social support. The elderly must be able to find a way to become the economic agent themselves. To do this, a basic awareness of the elderly poverty consciousness is needed, and a change of awareness to escape the poverty of the elderly is necessary. Therefore, the elderly need to be self-reliant, and they must choose jobs according to their own abilities. In conclusion, the elderly job program is a part of income increase that solves the poverty of the elderly in the aged society, and the elderly are required to actively participate in economic activities.

고령화사회(aging society)에서 매우 빠른 속도로 고령사회(aged society)에 다가가고 있는 우리나라는 노인에 대한 개념을 새롭게 재정비하고 장수고령사회에 대비한 새로운 문화를 창출하여야 할 때이다. 노화란 개념에 대해서도 불가피하고 비가역적인 생체의 변화를 통한 죽음에 이르는 도정이라는 결정론적 시각을 불식하고, 노화현상은 생명체의 생존을 위한 적응적 반응성 변화라는 사실을 분명하게 하고, 그러한 변화의 요인이 제어가 가능한 생체의 변화임을 인식하여 노화 및 노인 문제에 대하여 새롭게 대처하여야 할 필요가 대두되고 있다. 아울러 노화현상에 대한 새로운 가설인 노화대문설(Gate theory of aging)의 기본을 설명하고 이를 바탕으로 한 기능적 장수(functional longevity)의 개념을 정리해본다.
