다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The policy of crime victim support in Korea have made a significant progress for the last few years. It is also true, however, that despite various support systems crime victims do not feel that they are supported sufficiently. In the present situation that the police is establishing a collaborative relation with civil support organizations, this study purposed to identify problems in current crime victim support policies and look for solutions for the problems. The police is most closely related to criminal victims, and its fundamental duty is to protect the victims’ rights and freedom through resolving the situation of damage, reducing losses, and preventing the expansion of damage. Thus, the role of the police is extremely critical in promoting crime victim support policies. However, the duty of maintaining peaceful and stable community is not attributed only to the police. That is, citizens are obliged to consider crime victims’ honor and peaceful life and cooperate in projects for helping them. Foreign cases show that collaboration between the police and civil support organizations is the core of crime victim support policies. The present study examined the meanings of crime victim support by the police and the collaborative relation between the police and civil victim support organizations through cases in the U.K. and Japan. In addition, based on the results, we discussed the possibility and method of collaboration between civil victim support organizations and the police. Conclusions were drawn as follows. First, civil victim support organizations should be networked and the civil support system should be established based on the network as soon as possible. Second, the Council for Crime Victim Assistance installed in the police should make substantial activities. Lastly, specialists in the relevant areas should be raised systematically in order to provide crime victims with high quality services. Crime victims’ needs will be satisfied only when an organic relation is established between the police and civil support organizations in the local and governmental dimension.
