Abstract

This study aims to present improvement measures through the current status and problems of drug crimes in Korea. Korea can no longer be called a drug-free country, as more than 10,000 people are arrested for drug crimes every year. Entertainment workers, celebrities, second and third generations of chaebol, as well as the general public, can easily access media articles that have been arrested by investigative agencies for misuse and abuse of drugs. The number of drug crimes increased as the number of foreigners and early study abroad increased due to the increase in the number of overseas cultural experiences and the Internet. As for narcotics, it is necessary to promote strict social and institutional policies at the national level and to have a public consensus that misuse and abuse of narcotics is a serious criminal act by promoting the seriousness and risk of crime. By establishing an organic cooperation system of the state, local communities, and private organizations, they should work together to develop temptation and self-control of drugs by themselves through legal support, medical care, and rehabilitation treatment.
