Crime prevention strategies are introduced to reduce the loss caused by crimes, and Target hardening against domestic burglary attacks is broadly accepted as one of such physical security strategies. In terms of business and home security, target hardening is one of the suite of protective measures that are included in crime prevention through environmental design(CPTED). This can include ensuring all doors and windows are sourced and fitted in such a way that they can resist forcible and surreptitious from the attack of intruder. Target hardening with certified security doors, security windows and secure locks are revealed to be much more effective to deter burglary attacks than other security devices, such as CCTV, lightings and alarms which have largely psychological and indirect impact. A pilot program of target hardening utilizing certified security window and locks was carried out in Ansan city, South Korea in 2016. This study is based on the quasi-experimental design of this program for a residential area. The researchers tried to verify the crime displacement effect of the target hardening program and the diffusion effects of crime prevention benefits by analysing the crime statistics. The evaluation utilized WDQ(Weighted Displacement Quotient) technique to analyze whether the crime displacement occurred, compared the crime statistics of the experimental area with that of buffer zone and controlled areas. The result showed that the target hardening program was significantly effective in crime prevention. The number of burglary in the experimental site with target hardening intervention reduced by 100%, although the areas without the intervention showed reduction in the burglary. The crime displacement was not found at all, and the number of burlary at the buffer zone also reduced significantly.

Burglary (also called breaking and entering and sometimes housebreaking) is a crime, the essence of which is illegal entry into a building for the purposes of committing an offence. It is one of the most common types of crime and also a serious issue for every society. A house that is left insecure is an accessible and attractive target for burglars and therefore burglary resistance test & certification system for doors and windows has been developed in many countries. This paper explores several advanced foreign burglary resistance test/certifcation cases (the British SBD, the Dutch KOMO SKH/SKG, the Japanese CP mark, the Australian Standard Certification) for security products and domestic test/certification systems for fire safety products as a comparative study so that any improvement points can be gained for South Korea in the field of security product performance. The comparative analysis results show that South Korea is far behind the security product certification system and needs a lot of improvement in the system by benchmarking foreign cases. The domestic test/certification systems for fire safety products also give some insights for burglary-related security products' performance certification system in Korea. Overall, the need for relevant rules and regulations, the establishment of standards regarding testing and certification, including certified security +hardware product in building security certification system, performance testing as well as production testing (i.e. quality management system evaluation), the basic competency of testers, incentive system for certified/high quality security products were suggested in order to make an optimal model for the security production performance testing and certification system in Korea.

현재 방범 시스템은 적외선, 초음파 둥의 I-지기의 신호에 의존하여 외부로부터의 침입을 감지하고 있으나 방범 시스템이 설치된 환경에 따라 이런 감지기의 정확성이 달라지므로 오 동작의 가능성을 포함하며 신뢰성이 저하되고 있다. 실제 외부로부터의 침입을 확인하기 위해서는 화상과 음성 그리고 감지기의 신호를 조합하여 정확한 판단이 가능하지만 화상을 전송하기 위해서는 고가의 회선비용을 부담해야만 한다. 하지만 인터넷을 이용하여 화상을 전송하는 제품들이 출시되면서 Real-time 화상감시가 가능해졌다. 이런 화상감시 제품들은 Netscape, MS Explorer와 같은 표준 Web Browser을 통해 Real-time으르 전세계 어디서나 화상을 감시할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 적용분야는 호텔주변, 관광지의 여러 명소에 설치 후 홈페이지에 링크시켜 홍보용으로 사용하거나 공장 주요시설, 교통상황 둥의 중요지역의 Monitoring에 활용하고 있다. 그러나 방범 시스템에 적용하기에는 감지기의 확장성, 방범 관제센터 시스템과의 연동이 부족하여 본 고에서는 현재 출시된 화상감시 시스템과 기존 방범시스템을 Integration하여 방범의 최종 목표인 화상과 감지기 신호의 조합에 따른 정확한 방범시스템의 구현에 대해서 기술하고자 한다. 화상방범시스템의 구현은 크게 두 가지로 나누어지며 첫째는 화상감시 시스템과 방범시스템간의 통신을 설계하는 것으로 기존 대부분의 방범시스템이 사용하는 RS-485 통신 프로토콜을 재설계하여 화상감시 시스템과의 통신을 설계하였으며 둘째는 화상감시시스템과 관제센터 시스템간의 통신을 설계하는 것으로 현재 화상감시 시스템의 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 이용한 socket 통신으로 관제센터 시스템과의 실시간 데이터 전송을 가능하게 했다. 이 시스템을 활용할 경우 고객들은 반드시 관제센터시스템의 인증을 거쳐야 하므로 고객의 DataBase를 축적할수 있으며 이 정보를 활용하여 인터넷 화상방범 서비스 Potal Site구축이 가능하다는 장점이 있다.

It is quite difficult to actually prove the effectiveness of so-called target-hardening, one of the various strategies used to reduce crime, one of the serious problems in society recently. In particular, three to five minutes is often used as golden time for intruders to give up or stop, which is based on foreign and some indirect research cases in Korea, but there were no studies that more directly identified the average break-in operation time or the abandonment time based on the elapsed time when the shield hardware resists intruders. This study was the first of its kind in Korea to investigate and verify samples of 90 inmates of break-in burglars who were imprisoned in August 2018 by profiling the average criminal experience, education level, age, height and weight of typical Korean professional break-in thieves, and specific criminal methods, average break-in operation time, and the criteria for giving up if not breached. According to the analysis results, in the survey on the number of pre-invasion theft crimes by intruders, many of the respondents who participated in the survey were criminals of professional invasions, and by their physical characteristics, there was not much difference from ordinary adult men. Residential facilities were the highest in the world, followed by commercial and educational facilities. According to the survey on the types of facilities that committed intrusion into residential facilities, it was not safe to say that single-family housing accounted for the largest portion of single-family housing, multi-family housing, apartment high-rise (more than three stories), and apartment low-rise (more than one to three stories) among residential facilities, and that the ratio of apartment high-rise was higher than expected. Based on the average time required to break into a place for an intrusion crime, it is assumed that the psychological time worked in a place where the break-in was difficult, since the break-in was not performed while measuring the time of the break-in operation. In the case of time to give up a crime, more than half of the respondents said they would give up the crime even in less than four minutes, suggesting that a significant number of intrusive crimes can be prevented even if the facility has four minutes of intrusion resistance. This proves that most intruders will give up the break-in if the break-in resistance performance of the security facility is exercised for more than five minutes.
