A stalking is becoming more diverse and the methods are developing over time as the society has changed over time due to the advancement of information technology but an initial countermeasure seems to be difficult as there is no sufficient legislations against such crimes as stalking. Our country passed laws regulating such stalking at 1999 and four more additional bills were proposed until the 18th National Assembly but they failed to become legalized. Two more additional bills were proposed during 19th National Assembly which are still pending. Crimes such as stalking violates and invades physical and psychological freedom of the victims and the crimes are severely inveterate and intentional. Advanced countries such as the United States, the Great Britain, Germany, and Japan enacted legislations that strictly regulates stalking and also appropriate responses. As these exemplary cases show, it is essential that our country also requires an effective legislations against crime of stalking and protecting a victim of the crime.

2023년 8월 3일 다중이용시설과 운송시설이 맞닿아 있는 서현역 부근의 다중이 밀집한 장소에서 차량돌진 및 흉기난동의 묻지마 범죄가 발생하였다. 차량을 인도로 몰아 보행자를 들이받은 뒤 백화점 내부로 들어가 흉기를 휘둘러 차량돌진으로 5명, 흉기난동으로 9명의 피해자가 발생하였다(리차드김, 2023). 서현역의 묻지마 범죄 이후, '살인예고 지도' 서비스의 등장하면서 많은 이용객이 상시 붐비는 번화가 및 백화점 등의 다중이용시설을 이용하는 시민들의 불안감이 전국적으로 크게 확산하고 있다(김잔디 & 최윤선, 2023). 급격히 늘어나는 국민의 불안감으로 정부에서는 '묻지마 범죄'를 '이상동기범죄'로 명명하고 근절을 위해, 사실상 테러와 비슷한 수준의 강력한 대책을 추진하고 있다(강은민, 2023). 이상동기범죄에 따른 강력한 대책으로 국무조정실(대테러센터), 경찰청 등 관계부처의 다중이용시설 대한 안전대책들이 강구되어지고 실정에서 「경비업법」에 따라 시설의 위험발생을 방지하는 업무를 담당하고 있는 민간 경비원에게 이용객의 안전을 보호하고 피해를 최소화하기 위한 일선 역할이 중요해졌다. 하지만, 이상동기범죄에 대한 일선의 초동대응이 인력과 장비, 정당방위에 대한 법제도의 뒷받침 미흡 등으로 인해 민간 경비원의 실질적인 대응이 어려운 실정이다. 많은 사람의 왕래가 있는 다중이용시설에서의 민간 경비원 최소 경력배치 기준, 현행범 제압을 위한 무기사용 기준, 이용객 보호를 위한 경비원 위력 사용 기준 등의 제도적으로 마련되어 있지 않아 민간 경비원이 범죄로부터 시설 이용객을 보호하는 것은 쉽지 않은 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다중이용시설 묻지마 범죄 등의 위험성과 민간 경비원의 무기사용과 관련한 법제도적 한계점을 고찰하여, 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Purpose: This study aimed to verify the impact of Habitat for Humanity Korea's disaster risk reduction intervention on the mental health and satisfaction with life among residents of southern Bangladesh who had constantly suffered from disaster stress due to perennial flooding. Method: The target group was 138 residents who were pre-surveyed in August 2020 and post-surveyed in November 2021. The interventions consisted of individual incremental housing, public facilities for evacuation, and disaster response training for capacity development. The data were analysed using paired sample t-tests for pre-post changes and one-way analysis of variance to identify differences between treatment groups. Result: The results showed significant improvements in residents' depression, anxiety, somatisation and satisfaction with life after the intervention, with significant differences in mental health levels between the intervention treatments. Specifically, relatively higher disaster mitigation effects were found for individual infrastructure improvements and employment facilities compared to disaster response drills. Conclusion: These results demonstrate the positive role of Habitat for Humanity Korea's disaster risk reduction interventions on the mental health recovery of disaster victims and suggest practical approaches that can be applied in disaster risk areas.

The primary source of disaster information for victims as well as ordinary people is mass media. In spite of their importance, the media often inaccurately portrays reality, which has stimulated academic debates. In Korea, however, media reporting patters of disaster have been hardly addressed. Therefore, the paper analyzes how newspaper and television news have reported typhoon Rusa between August 29 and October 1 in 2002 by using KINDS(Korean Integrated News Database System). The results show that television news tend to present more soft news stories emphasizing human interest stories than newspaper articles, relying on victims as primary interviewees. It is also pointed out that the Korean media do not play a significant role in providing disaster information to public regarding how to lessen the effects of impact through preparation. Disaster mythology representing wrong beliefs about human behavior in disaster is found in Korean media reporting, too. Unlike their western counterparts, however, Korean media seem to use the dependency image of helpless victims in order to stimulate donations. Analyses of disaster reporting patterns suggest that, in make disaster warning messages associated with behavioral responses, credible and official sources should provide clear and precise warning messages to the media, and the media also need to stress individual responsibilities in protecting his or her own properties not to make victims heavily dependent on public supports, while inducing donations.

Employee's workplace satisfaction of claim adjusting company, who assesses the loss of catastrophe, have a direct influence on the loss evaluation job. Eventually their satisfaction would affect the compensation satisfaction of victims, therefore it is one of important factors for victims's compensation satisfaction. This paper analyzes empirically the determinants of employee's satisfaction to their firm for a claim adjusting company. As a result of the empirical research, it is found that the statistically significant determinant are the psychological factor, the organizational factor, and the individual factor. Among the significant factors, the psychological factor has the biggest positive factor. And the organizational factor and the individual factor is next with similar positive measurement. But the cognitive factor is not statistically significant. A claim adjusting company may use the research result for the improvement of employee's workplace satisfaction.

최근 기상이변의 가속화로 인해 홍수피해는 더욱 증가되고 있으며, 도시화로 인해 불투수면적이 급격히 늘어남에 따라 기존 관개수로의 통수능력 부족으로 도시침수피해가 증가되고 있다. 재난 연감과 재해연보를 바탕으로 비교한 결과, 홍수를 비롯한 각종 재난 발생 시 일반적으로 남성들에 비해 여성들의 피해자 수가 많으며 피해의 정도는 상대적으로 심각하였다. 그러나 국내외적으로 홍수에 대한 피해를 줄이고자 홍수 취약성에 대한 많은 연구들이 수행되었지만 아직 젠더를 고려한 취약성 분석은 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 대상지역을 우리나라의 인구밀집도가 가장 높은 서울시 25개구로 선정하였고, 엔트로피 이론을 활용해 25개 구의 홍수 취약성 지수를 계산하였다. 홍수 취약성 지수 계산 시 고려요인으로는 여성인구비율, 고령화비율 및 인구밀도 등과 같은 사회적 요인과 연 홍수 피해액, 복구금액 등 경제적 요인 그리고 일일 최대 강수량 및 80mm 이상의 강수량, 홍수 피해 횟수 등과 같은 환경적 요인을 고려하였다. 그 결과 각각의 요인에 따라서 서울시 25개구의 홍수취약성 지수가 상이하게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 취약성지수가 높은 자치구들의 경우 지역특성을 고려한 별도의 홍수대책 가이드라인이 필요 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과물을 바탕으로 향후 홍수 대책이나, 홍수대비 관련 정책을 수립할 정부 및 지자체에서 사회, 경제, 환경적 요인을 고려한 합리적인 정책 수립 결정에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

SNS is a useful tool to quickly deliver information in an emergency given their speed and expandability. Especially, SNS in the event of a disaster or an accident can offer on-site, accurate and detailed updates about essential information such as the safety of victims and the development of the situation, served as a valuable complement to the conventional media. This study aims to perform a comparative analysis on how social media are currently used by emergency management authorities in South Korea and other countries. Based on the results, this study proposed more effective ways to exploit SNS and improve efficiency of disaster management. To accomplish the goals, this study collected tweet information from various sources including the FEMA of the U. S., the FDMA and the Central Disaster Council of Japan, and the MPSS of Korea. The collected tweet information was analyzed by feedback, time series, and information types. The feedback analysis aims to quantify the number of monthly user feedback in order to assess user satisfaction about the tweet information. The time series analysis identifies the number of tweet information, feedback index and keywords by country for certain duration, examining why certain messages showed high feedback indices and what kind of contents should be offered by the authorities. Finally, the analysis of information type reviews the type of information contained in the tweet information that drew users' attention to identify the information type in which the authorities should deliver information to users. Based on these analyses, this study proposed improvement methods to use Tweeter in MPSS.

This study is an experiential case study of cybercrime fraud that combines pharming and voice phishing in April 2017. Research on victims who have actually suffered in the study of crime or disaster is a very useful field in establishing crime prevention measures. This study is significant in that Korea is relatively poor in this kind of research. I got cyber fraud as a consequence of my loss of reasonable judgment due to mental confusion when a companion dog who was raised for 8 years was in a very dangerous situation with cystitis. Fortunately, I received all the damages in a quick report, but the period was eight months. It took too much time to get back all the damages, so I had to suffer another pain. Based on my experience, I suggest damage prevention measures. First, when a certain condition and a certain amount are transferred, the transaction is automatically stopped or a more strict confirmation procedure is added. Secondly, trafficking means to arrest the perpetrator without any harm to the victim is sought. Third, the victims of crime should be promptly reimbursed for damages or a system for lending their living funds to zero or lower interest rate.

As forest fires' scale has increased, they have become disasters that destroy not only forests but also property, human psychological balance, and even human lives. As a result, governmental support has become a crucial part of the forest fire restoration process. Quickly restoring victims' quality of life (QOL) from not only an ecological perspective but also from their human perspective has become an important goal. Therefore, through structural equation modeling, this study analyzed effects of government support, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and resilience on 195 Uljin and Samcheok forest fire victims' QOL. In the final research model, the total standardized effect on QOL of government support to PTSD and resilience was found to have significant effect (0.417). By path, the effect of government support on QOL through resilience was verified as 0.172. Examination of the path between latent variables revealed that resilience had the greatest influence on QOL, and government support had a significant effect, thus confirming that they were the main factors affecting QOL.
