The current study applied the random forest algorithm to Korean crime victim survey data collected biennially between 2010 and 2018 to explore the relationship between crime/victim characteristics and the victim's criminal damages. A total of 3,080 cases including gender, age (life cycle stage), type of crime, perpetrator acquisition, repeated victimization, psychological damage (depression, isolation, extreme fear, somatic symptoms, interpersonal problems, moving out to avoid people, suicidal impulses, suicide attempts), and emotional changes after victimization (changes in self-protection confidence, self-esteem, confidence in others, confidence in legal institutions, and respect for Korean legal system/law) were analyzed. Considering the features of data that are difficult to apply traditional statistical techniques, this study implemented random forest algorithms to predict crime and victim characteristics using the victim's criminal damages (psychological damage and emotional change) and selected good predictors using VSURF function in VSURF package for R. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the relationship between the type of crime and depression, extreme fear, somatic symptoms, and interpersonal problems, between perpetrator acquisition and somatic symptoms and interpersonal problems, and between repeated victimization and changes in respect for Korean legal system/law. Gender and life cycle stage (youth/adult/elderly) were found to be related to extreme fear and changes in self-protection confidence, respectively. However, more empirical evidence should be aggregated to explain the results as meaningful. The results of this study suggest that it is necessary to enhance the experts' knowledge and educate them on cases about the relationship between crime/victim characteristics and criminal damage. Strengthening their interview strategy and knowledge about law/rules were also needed to increase the effectiveness of the Korean victim assessment system.

현대사회 환경의 변화와 개인생활의 복잡 다양화는 시민의 안전한 삶을 위협하는 요인들로 특히 범죄피해를 당하게 되면 피해당사자는 정신적 물질적으로 회복이 힘들고 피해의식과 두려운 기억에 의한 원만한 대인관계의 불가능이나 가족과 친지에게도 큰 상처를 남기게 된다. 경찰의 국민보호는 기본 임무이며, 주요 임무 중 하나인 수사도 국민보호의 차원에서 이루어지고 있는 활동임에도 이러한 경찰활동은 피해자의 신뢰와 협력 없이는 목적을 이룰 수 없으므로 이들 범죄피해자를 위하여 경찰에서도 적극적인 노력을 기울여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 경찰의 범죄피해자 보호 실태와 문제점의 주된 내용을 살펴보고, 그에 대한 대책을 살펴보도록 한다.

Victim Impact Statement, adopted as a crime victims' right, has been implemented in Korean criminal justice system since 2007, and known that the statement enlarges victims' right in courts and alleviates their suffering resulted from the crime. The statement, however, has raised concerns of infringing on a defendant's procedural rights. Scholars and practitioners had focused more on the legal issue, overlooking psychological effect of the statement to decision-makers in courts. This research reviews fallacy of impact assessment and therapeutic effect from psychological perspective, and also suggests alternatives to assuage the concerns by admission of the statement.

South Korea's socioeconomic status is high enough to support services for the protection of crime victims. Until now, the Ministry of Justice was the only institution to protect and support the victims, but recently the national police is included. This is considered preferable, since the police is the one to contact the victims first- they can provide immediate support after the incident. Several limits in current laws and crime protection system exist. Therefore, given the importance of protecting victims, model of public-private joint forms should be considered. In premise of establishing a new relationship between the public-private joint system of justice and the maintenance, the range of police's involvement with crime supports will be determined. In the case of developed countries, the police and private organizations maintain close cooperation, appearing as substantial care and support for crime victims. Therefore this study reviews the problems in crime victim protection, assistance from the police stage, and suggest the improvements as follows. The first is to redefine the role of the police who first contacted in the crime victims protection support, the second is to establish a permanent cooperation framework, such as victims specialized police, victims protection agency, the third is to develop services for victim protection available from the police stage, and the fourth, opening Victim Support Center functioning as a temporary accommodation or safety zone for the personal protection of victims. The fifth is to regularize solution conference for victims' protection, and the sixth is to divide of roles in state organization government in charge of victim's protection and local government responsible for victim's support.

익명 네트워크 기술에 기반한 다크웹은 일반 표면웹보다 더 강화된 익명성을 제공한다. 최근 이 익명성을 악용하여 다수의 다크웹 사용자들이 다크웹 내에서 범죄 행위를 모의하는 행위가 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 특히, 국내 다크웹 사용자들은 마약 유포를 위한 방법을 공유하거나 성착취물 유포 행위 등에 직간접적으로 가담하고 있다. 이와 같은 범죄 행위들은 수사 기관의 눈을 피해 현재까지도 계속해서 발생하고 있어 국내 다크웹 범죄 동향 파악의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 다크웹 특성상 범죄 행위를 논의하는 게시글을 수집하기가 어렵고, 다크웹 내에서의 언어 사용 특성에 대한 이해 부족으로 그동안 다크웹 사용자들이 어떤 내용의 범죄를 모의하는지 파악하기가 어려웠다. 본 논문에서는 국내 사용자들이 활동하는 다크웹 포럼들을 중심으로 사용자들의 언어 사용 특성을 연구하고, 이를 통해 다크웹에서 다뤄지는 범죄 유형들을 분석한다. 이를 위해, 자연어처리 기반의 분석 방법론을 적용하여 다크웹에서 공유되는 게시글을 수집하고 다크웹 사용자들의 은어와 특정 범죄군에서 선호되는 언어 특성을 파악한다. 특히 현재 다크웹 내에서 사용자들 사이에 관측되는 어휘들에 대한 기술통계 분석과 유의어 관계 분석을 수행하였고, 실제 다크웹 내에서 사용자들이 어떠한 범죄에 관심이 많은지를 분석하였으며, 더 나아가 수사의 효율성을 증대시키기 위한 소셜미디어, URL 인용 빈도에 대한 연구를 진행하였다.

Not much is known about the factors of North Korean refugees willingness to report crime. Based on the survey of 800 North Korean refugees living in the metropolitan area of South Korea, this study examined the theoretical factors influencing North Korean refugees' willingness of reporting crime. Focusing on the legal cynicism, procedural justice, and the behavior of law theory, this research verified that procedural justice model is most important in explaining their willingness to report crime. Variables under procedural justice model(i.e., perceived fairness of the law, confidence in the law, and perceived necessity of the law) were significant in an expected direction. On the other hand, most of the hypotheses based on social conditions derived from the five types of stratification, morphology, culture, organization, and social control presented by Donald Black (1974) showed no significant effects on the intent to report crime among North Korean refugees. Implications for research and policies were discussed based on the findings.

2014년 9월 29일부터 아동학대 가해자에게 무기징역까지 처벌을 강화하고, 친권 제한도 가능케 한 '아동학대범죄의 처벌 등에 관한 특례법(아동학대처벌법)'이 시행되고 있다. 동법의 내용으로는 기존 형법상 '3년 이상의 유기징역'에 집행유예가 가능한 학대치사죄에 대해 법정형을 '무기 또는 5년 이상의 징역'으로 높이고 별도의 감경사유가 없는 한 집행유예가 불가능하도록 했다. 아동학대 가해자가 친권자라는 이유로 피해아동을 격리시키기 힘들었던 점을 개선하기 위해 친권을 제한할 수 있는 길을 터놓았다. 부모(친권자)가 중상해를 입히거나 상습적으로 학대한 경우엔 검사가 법원에 친권상실을 청구해야 하며, 검사가 하지 않으면 아동보호전문기관의 장이 청구를 요청할 수 있도록 했다. 본고에서는 아동학대의 실태를 기초로 하여, 아동학대처벌법의 내용과 문제점을 살펴보기로 한다.

The theft of construction equipments and materials at construction sites is one of the risk factors that may affect to the productivity as well as the progress of the project. However, managers of the construction site have paid little attention to the security measure, therefore the theft loss at construction sites has been occurred repeatedly every year. In this study the situation analysis has been carried out for the present condition of theft loss of construction equipments and materials as well as its prevention measure based on the questionnaire survey targeting field managers, experienced theft loss at the site, as a part of base study to set up a security measure of construction sites. The main content of this study is analyzing characteristics of theft loss and the degree of impact and risk by it at construction sites, then reviewing the direction of the prevention plan establishment for the future through the analysis of the importance and utilization level of prevention measures. The result of this study would give an opportunity to create an awareness against the theft loss at construction sites as well as can be utilized as a basic survey for the systematic development of concerned prevention measures.
