Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present policy suggestions on desirable attitudes toward North Korean defectors through empirical research on the level of familiarity and interest in North Korean defectors, image of North Korea, and image-shaping influence media for new police officers trained at the National Central Police Academy. In order to conduct empirical research, a survey was conducted on 300 adult men and women in their 20s and older who were educated at the National Central Police Academy through the self-evaluation method. From October 1 to October 10, 2021, 300 people responded to a randomized sampling survey with a response rate of 100%, using 300 surveys and analyzed using the IBM SPSS program. As a result of the analysis, the frequency of contact with North Korean defectors in terms of demographic characteristics showed a static correlation with affinity for North Korean defectors, and a talisman correlation with the image of North Korea. Attitudinal traits showed a statistically significant correlation between the three variables of friendliness, interest, and image with North Korean defectors. As for the affinity for North Korean defectors, it can be seen that the more frequent contact there is, the higher the affinity for North Korean defectors. In terms of interest in North Korean defectors, women were more interested in North Korean defectors than men, a statistically significant difference. The image of North Korea showed an inappropriate correlation with the frequency of contact with North Korean defectors. In other words, the more North Korean defectors meet, the more negative images of North Korea accumulate. When we checked the media that influenced the formation of North Korea's image, the media (TV and media media) accounted for more than half of the media (56.0%), followed by the Internet (including SNS) and education. This study seeks to make the following policy recommendations. First, it is the gradual resolution of the “South-South conflict” in Korean society. Second, strengthen multicultural education and publicity activities for the people. Third, the development of various policies. Fourth, comprehensive network construction. Fifth, it is necessary to limit the spread of negative images of North Korean defectors in the mass media. Sixth, strengthen training for new police officers.
