This research aimed to examine the public's perception of the "rate of sentence reduction for reasons of mental and physical weakness" and investigate if it aligns with the actual practice. Various sources, such as the Supreme Court's Courtnet search system, the number of mental evaluation requests, and the number of articles and comments related to "mental weakness" on Naver News were utilized for the analysis. The findings indicate that the public has a negative opinion on reducing sentences due to mental and physical weakness, and they are dissatisfied with the vagueness of the standards. However, this study also confirms that the court strictly applies the reduction of responsibility for individuals with mental disabilities specified in Article 10 of the Criminal Act based on the analysis of actual judgments and the number of requests for psychiatric evaluation. In other words, even though the recognition of perpetrators' mental disorders is declining, the public does not seem to recognize this trend. This creates a negative impact on the public's trust in state institutions. Therefore, law enforcement agencies, such as the police and prosecutors, need to enforce the law according to clear standards to gain public trust. The judiciary also needs to make a firm decision on commuting sentences for mentally and physically infirm individuals and inform the public of the outcomes of its application.

This paper suggests that the Internet is not free through analysis of U.S. Internet history and lawsuits related to the Charter merger in 2016. Generally speaking, the players in internet connectivity market agree to Non-Disclosure Agreement, when connecting their facilities and networks each other. So, I adopted the case study & analysis as research methodologies due to limitation of collecting the transaction data between them. The former finds that Internet access has never been free in U.S Internet history. As we know, some including Content Providers(CPs) argue that the Internet is a free network and there are many cases to use the internet for free, so they came to conclusion that ISPs have no right to charge the users like CPs. This study refutes these arguments in two ways. One is that using the internet has never been free. From ARPANET, known as the beginning of the U.S. Internet, to the commercialization of backbone, no Internet has been considered or implemented for free since the early Internet network was devised. Also, the U.S government was paying subsidies or institutions were paying fees to secure network operations for the NSFNET backbone. the other is that "free peering" refers to barter transactions between ISPs, not to free access to counterpart internet networks. Second, this study analyze the FCC' executive order of conditioned merger approval and the court's related ruling and verify that using the internet is not free. According to the analysis, this study finds that it's real situation to make paid settlements between ISP-CPs (including OTTs) in the US Internet market at the moment. This study concludes that the Internet has never been free in terms of its technical characteristics, network structure, network operation, and system. Also it proposes how to improve the domestic settlement system between ISPs-CPs in terms of policy and regulation.

This study examined characteristics and judges' judgments regarding sexual violence cases against individuals with intellectual disabilities by analyzing total 716 cases of court decision. Of 716 cases, 6.0% sentenced not guilty, 53.5% imprisonment, 36.7% suspended sentence. More than half of the victims had experienced sexual assault more than one time with the tendency of repeating being higher when the accused were relatives or acquaintances to the victims. In half of the total cases, the victims were not able to specify the time of incidents. Only in 20% of the cases, there was actual compulsion but in the remaining cases, there was no clear coercion used during the crimes. There are three issues regarding court's decision of sexual assault case against individuals with intellectually disabilities; (1) credibility of victims' statement, (2) inability of resist during the crimes, and (3) whether the accused were aware of the victims's disabilities. In the judgment of credibility of statement, consistency of statement was the criterion that was used most frequently, being followed by specificity of statement, motivation for false accusation, cognitive capacity of victim, and reports of statement validity analysis in the order. The most frequently used criterion of inability to resist was the victim's statement and attitude, followed by the statement and attitude of the accused, the victim's knowledge and understanding of sexuality in the order. Regarding to the awareness of disabilities on the part of the accused, the statement and attitude of the accused was most frequently used, the victims' communicative abilities, duration of relationship, and daily life competence in the order. There were no differences in the rulings and issues according to levels of disabilities and gender. When victims were under 13 credibility of statement became more argues but the awareness of disabilities less frequently than the cases of victims who were 13 or older.

This study aimed to examine how strictly child-related sexual crimes were sentenced in Korea. The target cases of the study included eight cases that were appealed to the Supreme Court between 2000 and 2015. The main findings of the assessment of the eight cases indicated that there were sentences with lower terms than laws regarding sexual crimes against children. While laws should be strictly applied to cases of sexual crimes against children, the level of penalty was found to be relatively generous compared to the applicable laws. In particular, the reason for the crimes, the lack of any history of sexual crimes by the perpetrator, the perpetrator's relationship with the child victim, forgiveness from the children, and regret of the perpetrator were found to reduce sentences. Comparatively, the exploitation of parent status, the accusation of the perpetrator, and the lack of mutual consent were factored in consideration of harsher sentences. The findings suggest that it is necessary to reexamine the levels of sentences related to sexual crimes against children.

This study aims to analyze the court ruling on "Inter-Korean Summit Meeting Minutes Deletion," identify how the established requirements, concept, and scope for the records prescribed in the Public Records Management Act are applied in actual cases, and summarize the future tasks. It analyzes the "approval theory" as the point of establishment for records by the ruling means and how the meaning of approval is determined, and examines the difference between the e-jiwon System and the On-Nara System to understand the meaning of ruling clearly. Moreover, it analyzes how the "Invalidity of Public Documents Crime" in Article 141 in the Criminal Act influences record management. Based on such comprehensive case analyses, the study proposes what tasks the administrative agencies such as the National Archives of Korea and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety should perform.

2011년 1월 약 5년에 걸쳐 공방을 이어오던 서울시와 한국수자원공사(수공)와의 물값 분쟁 사례에 대한 대법원의 판결이 내려졌다. 서울시는 댐용수 사용료로 지불한 약 677억에 대한 부당이득금 반환 청구소송을 제기하였고, 이에 대하여 수공은 한강 취수장 물값 114억원을 청구하는 소송을 제기하였다. 결론적으로 대법원은 수공의 손을 들어줌으로서 기나긴 물값 분쟁 사례의 종지부를 찍었다. 본 사례는 대법원이 하천점용허가의 본질을 언급하는 등 향후 물값 관련 분쟁이 발생하는 경우 중요한 선례로 기능하게 될 것이다. 본 연구는 기득수리권 물량의 허용범위에 대하여 2011년 대법원 판결을 중심으로 분석하였다. 기득수리물량의 총합으로 용수료를 계산하고자 한 서울시의 주장에 대하여 각 취수장별 계약량 산정을 주장한 한국수자원공사의 논리에 대하여 대전지방법원 및 대법원의 판결을 중심으로 법적인 분석을 시도하였다. 특히, "민법" 제104조에서 규정하고 있는 '불공정한 법률행위'를 통하여 서울시와 수자원공사 간의 계약상의 하자에 대하여 분석하였다. 수리권과 관련하여 물값 분쟁에 대한 명확한 지침을 제시하는 판례를 찾기는 쉽지 않다. 민법 상의 기득수리권 규정과 하천법 상의 허가수리권 규정이 충돌하면서 명확한 법적인 해석이 곤란한 실정이다. 선서례구속의 의미에서도 본 대법원 판결은 중요한 의미를 가진다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 사례에 대한 상세하고 지석적인 분석을 통하여 우리나라 수리권 제도를 재 규명하기 위한 이론적인 토대로 삼는 것이 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 판결문을 중심으로 사례연구를 수행한 본 연구는 다음 두 가지 점에서 의의를 가진다. 첫째는 '공익성'이 높은 물값에 대한 객관적인 판단을 가능하게 하였다는 점, 그리고 둘째는 실질적인 물값 제도개선을 위한 중요한 선행연구로서의 가치를 가진다는 점이다.

This study is to develop a named entity recognition model specialized in criminal investigation domains using deep learning techniques. Through this study, we propose a system that can contribute to analysis of crime for prevention and investigation using data analysis techniques in the future by automatically extracting and categorizing crime-related information from text-based data such as criminal judgments and investigation documents. For this study, the criminal investigation domain text was collected and the required entity name was newly defined from the perspective of criminal analysis. In addition, the proposed model applying KoELECTRA, a pre-trained language model that has recently shown high performance in natural language processing, shows performance of micro average(referred to as micro avg) F1-score 98% and macro average(referred to as macro avg) F1-score 95% in 9 main categories of crime domain NER experiment data, and micro avg F1-score 98% and macro avg F1-score 62% in 56 sub categories. The proposed model is analyzed from the perspective of future improvement and utilization.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the characteristics of patient safety incidents (PSIs) related to nursing and to provide primary data for preventing the recurrence of similar incidents. Methods: This secondary analysis study included damage claims rulings filed for clinical negligence from 2014 to 2018 that contained the keyword 'nurse'. It excluded judgments irrelevant to nursing care and in which clinical negligence or causal damages were overruled. A total of 93 cases were analyzed. The characteristics of PSIs were derived through descriptive statistics, and two instances of nursing-related PSIs were examined by qualitative content analysis focusing on root causes. Results: The analysis of PSIs related to nursing suggested that the medical institutions where the PSIs occurred most frequently were hospitals, and the most common types of PSIs were medication, surgery, and treatment/procedure, in that order. In addition, it indicated that nursing-related PSIs occurred most frequently in general wards during the day shift, with the most common related nursing practice being managing potential risk factors. The qualitative analysis showed that careless monitoring and institutional inertia were causes of PSIs. Conclusion: To prevent nursing-related PSIs, nurses need to individually monitor and assess patient conditions. In addition, support should be accompanied by the improvement in the systems in place aimed at preventing the recurrence of nursing-related PSIs at the institutional and national level, such as securing appropriate nursing personnel and improving labor conditions.

This study aims (1) to identify whether real terms of imprisonment for sexual offenders against children are different between the first trial and appeal trial in 16 cases and (2) to assess which sentencing factors such as history of sexual crime of perpetrator, forgiveness of children, regretfulness of perpetrator, power of perpetrator, and relationship of perpetrator and victim influence sentencing period of imprisonment in the first and appeal trials, respectively. This study used cases which were prosecuted for sexual crimes against children since the protection act on the children and juveniles from sexual abuse was enacted in 2000. The target cases of the study include 8 first trials and 8 appeal cases which were appealed to the Supreme Court between 2000 and 2015. Result condition is the real term of imprisonment. Cause conditions include sentencing factors such as history of sexual crime, regretfulness, and power of perpetrator, forgiveness of child, and relationship between offender and victim. We employed Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) for data analysis. We found that there are sentences in the first trial with lower terms than appeal trial regarding child sexual crimes. In addition, we found that (1) power of perpetrator and forgiveness of victim significantly influenced sentencing periods of imprisonment at levels of courts; (2) cause condition considered as comparatively more important in the first trial was regretfulness of perpetrator(but not in the appeal trial); and (3) relationship of perpetrator and child was not important in sentencing for sexual crime at both levels of trials.
