The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the amount of media coverage related to drug crimes and the actual number of drug-related arrests. It aims to determine the implications of this relationship for the formulation of police policies in response to drug crimes. To achieve this, we collected and analyzed 50,355 domestic online media coverage data from 2001 to 2022 and drug crime arrest data compiled by the National Police Agency. The analysis confirmed a significant causal relationship between the amount of online media coverage of drug crimes and the actual number of drug crime arrests. This relationship was found to be influenced by the existence of dominant issues and the relevance of famous incidents. It was determined that media coverage was also influenced by public interest beyond drug crime arrest numbers. Based on these research findings, the police have proposed the need to monitor the amount of crime-related media coverage and enhance security capabilities for crimes that receive public attention in order to gain the trust of the citizens.

This study suggests a variety of ways to prevent narcotic crimes, recurrence of such crimes, rehabilitation, and improve the public awareness of using the narcotics by adopting cultural contents, highlighting how dangerous, harmful and they are easily accessible, as well as the reality in Korea nowadays, where it cannot any longer be seen as a drug-free state. Precedent research, the actual case studies, and interviews followed by the "Musical Mission" explain that anyone can easily become a criminal or family to the criminals, and the adolescent is the age group that experience the most rapid increase in initiating such illicit drugs by using cultural content to help prevent and improve awareness among the public to expose the deadly effect of the substances. More efforts are required to remove the frame of criminals off the active drug users, as they are those who only need to be cared and are the same members of our society after all by demonstrating new ways to change such perspectives. I wish that it will become a social mandatory for those who produce the social contents to urge more support for the drug users through TV advertisements, dramas, movies, documentaries, and musicals etc.

The purpose of this study is to find out what discourse the newspaper's articles produce and distribute about 'drug addiction' and to reveal the topography and meaning of the discourse. Data were collected by searching 'drug' 'drug addiction' as keywords for news articles in four daily newspapers in Korea. As a result of analyzing using Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, first, the 'crime-punishment' discourse was dominant in textual analysis. Drug addiction is a social evil and a serious crime such as sex crimes, child crimes, and violence, so it should be strictly punished. Second, in the discourse practice analysis, drug addiction is a mental disease that needs treatment, so systematic management by the state is required. Third, in the socio-cultural practice analysis, drug addiction is a means of making money for economic benefit, is related to corruption of political power, and is an object that should be strongly controlled to prevent drug crimes from threatening the foundation of the state. Culturally, drug addiction stems from the motivation of pleasure seeking, and is the result of moral degradation. Through this analysis, the conversion to the 'disease-treatment' discourse and drug policies centered on treatment and rehabilitation were suggested as alternatives.

소셜미디어를 통한 마약 유통이 증가하면서 젊은 연령층의 마약 문제가 사회 문제로 대두되고 있다. 소셜미디어 상의 마약 유통을 차단하고자 유해 키워드 차단 정책이 마련되고 있지만, 사용자들은 차단 정책을 우회할 수 있는 마약 관련 은어 및 변형어를 사용하여 검색을 시도하기 때문에 다양한 은어 및 변형어를 수집하여 차단 정책에 반영하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 마약 유통 및 구매에 빈번하게 사용되는 일반어, 은어, 그리고 일반어와 은어의 각 변형어를 수집하고, 이를 페이스북, 인스타그램, 카카오톡, 트위터, 텔레그램을 통해 검색하여 소셜미디어 유형별로 수집되는 마약 관련 게시글을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 5종의 소셜미디어 중, 트위터에서 마약 관련 은어 및 변형어를 포함하는 게시글이 가장 많이 검색되는 것을 확인하였다.

In Korea, all investigations of maritime crime such as murder, robbery, drug trafficking, and illegal fishing that have been committed at sea are under the jurisdiction of maritime police. As maritime crimes tend to have more unique cases, cause damage on a larger scale, and be limited to evidence that is possibly contaminated, compared to non-maritime crimes, the cases demand maritime police investigators with a higher level of expertise. However, there is currently a lack of competent investigators in the maritime police, leading to the training of maritime police investigators in training agencies. so many of maritime investigators goes to land police training agency including Korean Police Investigation Academy. Therefore, in order to improve the capabilities of maritime crime investigation we must first gather information and data in relation to maritime crimes to foster more investigation specialists, and establish specialized training agencies offering a training course more focused on maritime crimes.

This study reviewed the important preceding studies of prevention and treatment of the crimes and therapies on the characteristics of mental illness, trying to investigate and identify more effective ways to prevent, decrease the crimes of the mentally ill and treat them. The main results were as follows. First, relationships between mental illness and crimes have been inconsistently reported, to investigate environmental stresses and triggers of the mentally ill additionally. Second, the term 'mentally illness' was to be defined more specifically, such as severe psychiatric disabled, antisocial personality disorder, intellectual disability, anger·impulse control disorder, and drug abuse. If medication and psychosocial treatments were properly treated to the severe psychiatric disabled, their crime incidence and recidivism will be decrease enough to live with their neighbors in community. But the ways and processes of treating antisocial personality disorder, intellectual disability, anger·impulse control disorder, and drug abuse were very different from it, requiring more intense psychological, medical and biological interventions and social seclusion. The national campaigns and projects for their human rights and community care will be needed to promote the therapeutic effects for them. The limitation and future tasks were discussed.
