경찰의 인권보호 정책에 대한 시민인식

Abstract

Police organizations have been attempting to change to human rights-friendly police by reorganizing the human rights-related legal system. However, questions still remain as to how much citizens are experiencing such changes and whether they are highly receptive to the police's human rights policy. Therefore, this study attempted to analyze citizens' perceptions of the police's human rights protection policy and what variables affect their perceptions. Specifically, the effect of the experience of human rights violations through the media, police trust, and human rights policy awareness on citizens' perceptions of the police's human rights protection policy was empirically analyzed. To this end, an online survey was conducted on a sample of 800 people proportionally allocated by gender, age, and region. As a result of the analysis, the average of the questions on the relationship between police activities and human rights was all over 3.4. In addition, citizens recognized that the life safety function was most related to human rights protection activities. Citizens highly recognized the necessity of the criminal management system and the victim assessment report. As a result of regression analysis, it was confirmed that the experience of human rights violations through the media, trust in the police, and awareness of the human rights policy had a statistically significant effect on the Citizens' perception of the police's human rights protection policies.
