Abstract

The method of crime suppression through punishment-oriented punishment and detention has clearly revealed its limitations in criminal policy research and practice in many countries, which is the same in Korea. In Korea, the number of people in correctional facilities has been steadily increasing since 2009. In addition, among prisoners sentenced to imprisonment or higher in the last 10 years, at least 40% return to correctional facilities, which reveals that many prisoners have not been able to adapt to society since the end of their detention. In addition, in the case of this type of detention, it appears to have a huge negative impact on not only the detainees but also their families and neighbors, so relying entirely on it has been pointed out as a factor that hinders social integration and development. Accordingly, it is restorative justice that is attracting attention as an alternative to solving this problem more efficiently. Restorative justice is a paradigm for preventing recidivism that aims to help criminals adapt to society and return to their members through coordination and mutual consultation between victims, perpetrators, and community members. In particular, the crime rate is steadily decreasing every year in Nordic countries, and it is considered that exploring their correctional policies and systems will be of great help to operate our criminal justice policy. Among them. Finland is a country and a representative welfare state that uses a representative restorative justice-based correctional policy, and has a stable system for the legal protection system, specific operational methods, and examples. Therefore, although domestic criminal policy research promoting the development of the restorative justice and legal protection welfare system needs to be actively explored and accepted, such research is still very insufficient in Korea. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the direction of the domestic legal protection welfare system through a review of Finland's criminal policy and legal protection welfare system, and to find ways to supplement and improve the deficiencies in the future. So, this study introduces Finland's legal protection and welfare system through research papers, national reports, and government statistics, and reviews our differences and suggests the current status and future direction of our legal protection and welfare system.
