Abstract
protection and support for crime victims is the national responsibility, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Prosecutor's Office, and the National Police Agency are working together to provide thorough support. Nevertheless, improvements are pointed out in the crime victim prevention and support policy. These include overlapping functions between institutions, poor access to support services, and overlapping support. In addition, there was a recommendation from the Justice and Prosecutor's Reform Committee that required support for crime victims to be provided in a more efficient and timely manner. With the implementation of the municipal police system in 2021, there are changes in the protection and support of crime victims at the police level. Therefore, this study discussed the role of municipal police in protecting and supporting crime victims due to the implementation of the municipal police system. The role of local governments and municipal police was strengthened, the role of municipal police in the protection and support network for crime victims was strengthened, and the necessity of reinforcement and management of police officers in charge of victims was examined from a mid- to long-term perspective. Through this, we review the problems and considerations that may arise in the protection of crime victims by the municipal police in the future, along with policy suggestions that can provide timely protection and support for crime victims through the enforcement of the municipal police system, and that can be expected to provide sufficient recovery for crime victims.
