With the development of artificial intelligence(AI), the jobs of many human experts are threatened, and this also applies to the legal profession. This study attempted to investigate whether AI can actually replace humans in the legal profession, especially the role of judges making final judgments. For this purpose, from the perspective of uniqueness neglect, this study was conducted to confirm the effect of involvement and the severity on acceptance of the judgment made by the AI judge (Experiment 1) and the AI jury (Experiment 2). The involvement was manipulated as if the subject who was sentenced for committing a crime was his or her family (mother, father) or stranger, and the severity was manipulated by the extent of the damage, the perception of the crime, and the number of applied crimes. In Experiment 1, the interactive effect of involvement and severity was found. Specifically, when the involvement was low, the acceptance of AI judges was higher in high severity (vs. low severity). Conversely, when the involvement was high, the acceptance of AI judges was higher in low severity (vs. high severity). The same interactions as in Experiment 1 occurred in Experiment 2. Specifically, when the involvement was low, a larger number of AI jury members were allocated in high severity (vs. low severity). On the other hand, when the involvement was high, the number of AI juries increased in low severity (vs. high severity). This study has implications in that it is the first experimental study in Korea on artificial intelligence legal judgment and that it presents the prospects for the jobs of legal experts.

Research on offense judgment differing by victim typicality has usually focused on sexual violence, and studies on victim typicality of dating violence remain scarce. However, the social concern for the recent increase of dating violence cases demands research on social stereotypes of dating violence victims, especially focusing on how they affect judgments of dating violence cases. We examined if judgment of dating violence cases differed by victim typicality. The results based on 160 adults (80 females and 80 males) showed that the higher the level of victim typicality, the more seriously the offense was evaluated. In addition, the level of offense seriousness mediated the relationship between victim typicality and judgment of offender responsibility and victim blame. The higher the level of victim typicality, the more seriously the offense was evaluated, and the bigger the offender responsibility and the less the victim was blamed. Finally, we discussed policy implications of the study for preventing secondary victimization in criminal proceedings and developing education programs for jurors.

Confirmation bias is well known to be the cause of widespread misjudgment in the field of forensic decision-making. In this study, we examined the psychological mechanisms by which confirmation bias affects intentionality judgment in serious injury and death cases that combine the moral characteristics of the perpetrator and victim differently. As a result, participants perceived the case as a more typical criminal case when both the perpetrator and victim were bad people, and gave higher intention to perpetrators' actions in these typical crimes. In particular, it was found that people with a high degree of confirmation bias highly judge the intention of the offenders in a consistent way with the stereotype of criminal cases. However, in serious criminal cases, the moderate effect of confirmation bias has disappeared and only the effect of crime typicality has existed. Finally, we discussed implications of this study and ways to reduce bias in intentionality judgment.

Trend Impact Analysis(: TIA) is an advanced forecasting tool used in futures studies for identifying, understanding and analyzing the consequences of unprecedented events on future trends. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system is a kind of artificial neural network that integrates both neural networks and fuzzy logic principles, It is considered to be a universal estimator. In this paper, we propose an advanced mechanism to generate more justifiable estimates to the probability of occurrence of an unprecedented event as a function of time with different degrees of severity using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System(: ANFIS). The key idea of the paper is to enhance the generic process of reasoning with fuzzy logic and neural network by adding the additional step of attributes simulation, as unprecedented events do not occur all of a sudden but rather their occurrence is affected by change in the values of a set of attributes. An ANFIS approach is used to identify the occurrence and severity of an event, depending on the values of its trigger attributes. The trigger attributes can be calculated by a stochastic dynamic model; then different scenarios are generated using Monte-Carlo simulation. To compare the proposed method, a simple simulation is provided concerning the impact of river basin drought on the annual flow of water into a lake.

Generally, information breach incidents are thought to be caused by external hackers. However, both direct and indirect information breach incidents by insiders are more frequent than by external hackers. It also accounts for more than half of the total information breach, so it should be prepared against insider breach. In this study, based on General Deterrence Theory(GDT) and Rational Choice Theory(RCT), we integrated the risk sensitivity and situational anxiety, which were studied in the field of traffic psychology to construct research model. Result of analysis shows that the impact of risk perceptions on the severity and certainty of perceived punishment was not statistically significant, but perceived benefits, situational anxiety, and severity and certainty of perceived punishment were found to influence the information breach intention.

A critical incident technique(CIT) was employed to show the results of empirical findings regarding hotel services. The major purpose of this study was to describe and analyze service failures from the customers' point of view and thus suggest strategic implications for hotel service providers. Four-hundred sixteen service failure anecdotes from hotel customers were classified using Hoffman et al.'s(1995) approach. The CIT data showed the three major categories and eleven sub-categories and revealed that, in general, tangible recovery(e.g., upgrade, free meal, discount) was more effective than intangible one(e.g., explanation, canned apology, manager's apology). Interestingly, however, sincere apology seemed to be a better recovery strategy than other types of tangible recovery. Furthermore, the results showed that severity of service failure had its own impact on customers' perception regarding hotel's service recovery efforts. In particular, irrespective of service recovery, severity of service problem was negatively related to intention to repurchase. Managerial implications and future research agenda was also discussed.

박근혜 대통령은 지난 11월 12일 열린 소방의 날 기념식 행사에서 최근의 사고현황에 심각한 우려를 표명하며, 이를 개선하기 위해 전력을 다하겠다고 천명했다. 당시 박 대통령은 "최근 빈발하고 있는 유해화학물질 누출사고를 비롯해 각종 재해에서 보듯이, 현대사회의 재난은 한 번 발생하면 피해규모가 매우 크고 돌이키기 힘든 고통을 초래하는 경우가 많다"면서 "국민 안전을 더욱 튼튼하게 지키는 안전관리 시스템을 구축해 나갈 것이라고 밝혔다. 이처럼 아직도 우리나라의 안전수준은 대통령이 우려를 표명할 정도로 심각성을 드러내고 있다. 해가 지나면서 조금씩 개선되는 양상을 보이고는 있지만, 선진국 수준의 안전문화는 여전히 우리에게 먼 얘기라고 할 수 있다. 올해 발생했던 수많은 재해와 사건사고가 이를 증명한다. 희망찬 기대를 안고 시작했던 2013년이었지만, 다양한 사건사고로 인해 연일 '안전불감증'이라는 단어가 끊임없이 회자됐다. 우리 안전문화의 현주소를 되짚어보고, 이것이 안전 선진국으로 가는 계기가 되길 바라면서 부실한 안전관리, 미흡한 안전의식이 원인이 되어 발생했던 2013년도의 주요 재해를 모아봤다.

여객선 관련 해양사고는 발생 가능한 빈도는 낮지만 사고 발생 시 심각성은 대단히 큰 것이 특징이다. 이에, 여객선 안전에 관해서는 대규모 사고 발생 후 사건의 심각성을 인식하는 경향이 크다. 코스타 콘코디아 사고와 세월호 사고 이후 전세계는 여객선 안전에 관해서 새로운 인식을 갖게 되었으나 근본적인 위기 제거나 감소 방안이 미흡하여 아직도 동남아시아에서는 크고 작은 사고가 지속 발생하고 있다. 사전에 발생 가능한 위기를 식별하여 이에 대한 대응방안을 선제적으로 마련하는 것이 최적으로 고려된다. 본 연구의 목적은 현재까지 인식되었으나 이에 대한 대응방안이 수립되지 않았거나 아직까지 인식하지 못한 위기를 식별한 후 이에 대한 해결 방안으로 RCO(Risk Control Option)을 마련하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 국내외 자료를 통해 위기를 식별하고 이에 대한 분석 평가 방법을 수립하고자 한다. 연구 검토결과, 해양사고 연계 체인을 바탕으로 위기를 식별하고 이에 대한 시나리오를 구축하여 베이지안 네트워크(Bayesian Network, BN)를 이용해서 확률적으로 위기를 분석 및 평가할 수 있음을 알았다. 향후 BN을 이용한 위기 순위 결정과 RCO 구축을 진행할 예정이다.

The present study investigated the characteristics of perpetrators/victims of verbal abuse in childhood, and analyzed sociopsychological factors affecting verbal abuse. Based on child abuse cases between 2010 and 2015 collected from Public Prosecutors' Offices nationwide, we investigated 154 cases with verbal abuse of children and compared them with 398 cases without verbal abuse. Perpetrators of verbal abuse of children were more likely to be male, alcoholic, and with previous criminal convictions than those without verbal abuse. Additionally, perpetrators of verbal abuse of children were more likely to be hostile and controlling toward children, discriminate amongst siblings, and favor one child over another than those without verbal abuse. Finally, we discussed practical applications for prevention of child abuse and verbal abuse in particular and limitations of the study, and made suggestions for future research.

Sex offense by medical practitioners has been occurring continuously in Korea leading to not only patients but the general public expressing anxiety and increased distrust in the medical field. The government has been pushing ahead with the legislation or revision of law to increase the penalties on sexual offenders in response to requests for a stricter legal framework to address sex offense cases and has expressed a strong commitment to actively resorting to administrative corrective measures towards sexually offending medical practitioners. Unlike such an overall social atmosphere, the Judiciary that is in charge of applying the law seems not to perceive the seriousness of sex offense cases committed by medical practitioners. A doctor who had sexually assaulted a middle school female student during medical treatment at a pediatric hospital was found innocent by the supreme court, which was a ruling in direct contrast to overall public sentiment. As such, this study seeks to analyze the precedent on cases involving sex offense by medical practitioners with a focus on the above-mentioned case and present implications. The study seeks to dispel distrust in the overall medical field by addressing the gap in legal interpretation towards sex offense committed by medical practitioners and thus provide basic data that can help the general public receive quality medical services in a safer environment.
