노인 혐오범죄 및 인권침해에 대한 형사정책적 개선방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

Due to industrialization, urbanization, and nuclear familyization, the meaning of the Eastern country and the idea of the elderly filial piety are gradually fading, and the lack of a stable source of income, poverty, economic difficulties, job vulnerability, physical and mental health vulnerability, and social isolation and disconnection have caused elder hatred and discrimination. In particular, COVID-19 has increased the difficulty of social relations, elder hatred and discrimination have led to various crimes against the elderly, and various policies are being implemented to resolve the violation of the human rights of the elderly and protect the human rights of the elderly. In particular, in order to harmonize with the rapidly changing times and act as a rights subject, social systems must be established and operated to ensure access to various information, and systems that support the elderly to have the ability to utilize them must also be prepared, but the search for these legal and institutional measures around the world is being overlooked, and the vulnerability of elderly human rights is intensifying. Therefore, from a criminal policy perspective, this paper proposed five policies: first, the enactment of the “Act on the Prohibition of Elder Hate,” second, the enactment of the “Protection of Senior Human Rights” by local governments, third, the development and activation of education programs for the elderly at crime victim support centers, and fourth, the establishment of a council for “prevention and protection of human rights against elder hate crimes” by local governments, and fifth, the establishment of a “Hate Crime Prevention Instructor” certificate.
