  • Crime committed by civilians and criminals using legal and illegal firearms and conversion of legal firearms into illegal ones has become a common practice around the world. As a result, policies to control civilian gun ownership have been debated in several countries. The issue arose because the linkages between firearm-related mortality, weapon accessibility, and violent crime data can imply diverse options for addressing criminality. In this paper, we have projected a mathematical model in terms of the Caputo fractional derivative to address the issues viz. input of legal guns, crime committed by legal and illegal guns, and strict government policies to monitor the license of legal guns, strict action against violent crime. The boundedness, existence and uniqueness of solutions and the stability of points of equilibrium are examined. It is observed that violent crime increases with the increase of crime committed by illegal guns, crime committed by legal guns and, decreases with the increase of legal guns, the deterrent effect of civilian gun ownership, and action of law against crime. Further, legal guns increase with the increase of the limitation of trade of illegal guns and decrease with the increase of conversion of legal guns into illegal guns and increase of the growth rate of illegal guns. Again, as crime is committed by legal guns also, the policy of illegal gun control does not assure a crime-free society. Weak gun control can lead to a society with less crime. Theoretical aspects are numerically verified in the present work.

  • The object of this research is to inform readers of the chronikal change of Military Uniform in wars how the features and colors of uniforms have been changed along with the innovations of firearms. Military uniforms can be put into two differ-ent categories which are 'Battle wear' and 'Rank wear' A battle wear features of protec-tion and user fiendliness, These features of a battle wear can possibly minimize injuries and help increase the level of battling perform-ance. On the other hand a rank wear help dis-tinguish soldiers from their ranks and posi-tions. A rank wear symbolizs the pride that soldiers take n their unit and by wearing a rank wear soldiers feel more attached to their collegues and unit. Concrete process of military uniforms is as follows. 1. As firearms were innovated corres-pondant innovation of military uniforms were also needed this innovation were in the formstructure design color etc. 2. In the beginning features of military uniforms changed toward protection and then after social status of solders rised features changed forward show-off Finally as firearms became more fortal camouflage became the most significant feature of the military uniforms. 3. During war colors of military uniforms tended to be a means of show -off and camou- flage and while not in war they functioned as symbol which represent froops and the unit is tradition. 4. Other accessaries support the perforance and the symbolical function of uniforms.

  • One of the missions of active-duty units in charge of managing reserve forces is providing combat supplies to reserve forces to exercise their combat capabilities quickly when declaring a mobilization order. Rear area active-duty units must support large local reserve forces. On the other hand, military units have difficulties due to a lack of forces and the storage of large quantities of firearms and ammunition. For this reason, local reserve forces should move to an integrated storing place and receive their firearms and ammunition. The existing distribution plan (existing plan) is a first-in-first-out plan that can produce inconsistent distribution orders. The inconsistent distribution orders can increase the complete distribution time, which will affect the combat power of local reserve forces. Therefore, firearms and ammunition should be distributed quickly. Accordingly, this paper proposes the priority selection of firearms and ammunition for local reserve forces with a minimum complete distribution time using Dynamic Programming. To verify the proposed model, the existing plan was compared with the proposed model using real data, and the result showed that the proposed model outperformed the existing plan.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze similarity on types of illegal weapon self-report such as firearms, swords, shells, bullets, explosives in 16 regions of Korea in 2011, 2015. The results of this study were as follows. First, the types of illegal weapon self-report in 2011 were divided into two clusters, such as (1) 'cluster 1' including firearms, swords, shells and explosives, (2) 'cluster 2' including bullets. Second, the multidimensional scales on the types of illegal weapon self-report in 2011 were firearms located in the lower right corner(4/4), swords located in the lower right corner(4/4), shells located in the lower right corner(4/4), bullets located in the center left corner(3/4), explosives located in the higher right corner(1/4). Third, the types of illegal weapon self-report in 2015 were divided into two clusters, such as (1) 'cluster 1' including firearms, swords, shells and explosives, (2) 'cluster 2' including bullets. Forth, the multidimensional scales on the types of illegal weapon self-report in 2015 were firearms located in the lower right corner(4/4), swords located in the higher right corner(1/4), shells located in the higher right corner(1/4), bullets located in the center left corner(2/4), explosives located in the center right corner(4/4).

  • When treating firearms injuries, knowledge of the proper management is important because these injuries have high morbidity and mortality. However, due to strict gun safety regulations, surgeons in Asia often have limited experiences with gunshot wound management. Recently, the authors had the experience of removing a bullet that did not cause hemopneumothorax, but remained in the lung parenchyma. Due to the risk of complications that could occur if the bullet was not removed, surgical treatment was eventually performed to remove the bullet. A literature review was needed to determine whether this treatment was appropriate. We concluded that removing the bullet could prevent incidental complications. In this regard, the authors report a case along with a review of the relevant literature to suggest appropriate treatment directions for surgeons who do not have experience with gunshot wounds.

  • The ROK military conluded that the dead of a young soldier, walking back to his unit was caused by a ricochet after carrying our some construction work near firing range in Gangwon Province in last Septemebr. But when it was revealed that he was hit by a stray bullet cause, this fact caused public fury. To solve these problems, we will analyze the individual fire shooting range of our military units from a safe perspective and propose ways to improve it by applying the cases of the United States, which are both permanent and scientific.

  • As an extreme-type crime caused by social anxiety and economic hardship, firearm accidents recently rising as a serious social problem are gradually increasing the national anxiety as people start realizing that Korea is no more a safety zone for firearm accidents. In order to improve it, the police and academia are presenting measures through the suggestion of diverse policies and also change of system. However, there are not sufficient researches in the aspect of technology while some people argue that they cannot become fundamental alternatives on top of its effectiveness issue. Thus, this study has suggested a more effective firearms safety control system in the aspect of technology.

  • Korea's police force has successfully performed its difficult mission of maintaining public order while overcoming difficulties at home and abroad during the past half century. However, the environment in which the forces of law a nd order operate has exponentially increased the demand for, and difficulties faced by, the agents of law enforcement in recent years because of the country's rapid globalization, as well as the move to democracy and localization, and the extensive developments in industrialization and information technology diffusion. This study also intends to investigate the appropriate limits of law enforcement and the use of force by policemen, and the general public's perception of the police as they fulfill their duty of protecting citizens' rights.
