미국 마약 통합 관리 시스템을 통한 한국의 마약정책 고찰

Abstract

New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) are spreading like a trend around the world, and the number of drug crimes is increasing more than ever as distribution methods evolve day by day. Recently, as the drug problem has become increasingly serious, it has become an unbearable reality with the functions and roles of existing drug-related institutions. Most countries use a combination of criminal justice punishment models that control and deter drug supply to make the drug-free society and medical & treatment models that rehabilitate addicts. In other words, supply control policies rely mainly on thorough crackdowns and strong punishment, and demand control policies pursue balanced strategies by focusing on prevention in advance through treatment and rehabilitation. However, countries that have implemented most drug policies have experienced many side effects from unbalanced policies and are making great efforts to make balanced policies to solve them. However, the results vary widely depending on the efforts and budgets of each government, also the structure of the organization that manages drugs is diverse. Current study will examine the current status of Korean drug-related institutions and review the U.S. drug integration management system(IMS). And mainly discuss the direction of Korea's drug policy through the background and historical changes of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It is meaningful in preparing a specific and practical balanced drug policy that can create a drug-free society through the advantages and disadvantages of the U.S. drug IMS . At the conclusion this study establishes a practical national system to efficiently deal with drugs and in turn protect citizen from drugs.
