범죄경력자용 사회적응예측지표 타당도검증

Abstract

Historically, crime has occurred continuously, a risk factor promoting social anxiety worldwide. As it is impossible to solve the crime problem completely, the country has no choice but to manage crime prevention and countermeasures. Considering the social environment that avoids those with a criminal history, including pre-prisoners, severe punishments and social exclusion against them are expected to intensify. However, because we cannot wholly exclude or alienate them from our society, we must find a way to live harmoniously with them in our community. This study was conducted to verify the validity of the existing Korean Social re-Integration Predictive Indicator (K-SIPI) and improve its predictive power. In addition, we aimed to reduce the number of items with poor explanatory power on the life-emotional scale, which consisted of an excessive number of items that lessened the concentration of survey takers. To verify the validity, we conducted descriptive statistics, logistic regression analysis, ROC analysis, etc., by randomly collecting 2,514 cases from the K-SIPI data of the Korea Justice Protection and Welfare Service. In addition, the level of social adaptation of the subject of legal protection was divided into high, medium, and low through ANOVA. As a result of the analysis, 86 items in the current K-SIPI were reconstructed into 63 items through validation. Reconstructing the test tool's items concisely is meaningful in that it can increase the concentration of survey takers and ensure more reliable test results. For discussion and suggestions, it is necessary to conduct further research on the scales or items removed by validating the current K-SIPI. The measures or items emphasized in previous studies showed weak predictive powers in our study. We discuss this as a result of the current K-SIPI being conducted in the early stages of preparing for social return after release (i.e., before the Korea Rehabilitation Agency exercises rehabilitation). Furthermore, the K-SIPI is used only for pre-test rather than for post-test, making it impossible to measure the effectiveness and analyze the performance of various protective treatment programs provided to the target. Thus, making it mandatory to conduct pre-and post- K-SPI is needed for the program's performance evaluation.
