생활안전경찰 중간관리자와 CPO의 CPTED 관련 인식 차이에 대한 실증연구

Abstract

This study conducted a survey of 74 individuals, middle managers (supervisors/chiefs) and practitioners(CPOs) of Community Safety Police, which play a crucial role in crime prevention, with the cooperation of the Seoul Metropolitan Police to investigate their perceptions of the issues related to the CPTED projects, as well as their perceptions regarding education.
 The results of an Independent Samples t-test analyzing the perception differences regarding CPTED projects showed statistically significant differences in collective efficacy, trust of the police, and maintenance. Overall, middle managers exhibited a more positive perception of CPTED projects compared to practitioners. Furthermore, the results of the Cross tab analysis revealed that middle managers recognized budget constraints while practitioners perceived collaboration with other organizations as the most significant problem with CPTED projects and regarding specialized CPO training, practitioners indicated a need for sharing practical CPO case studies, while middle managers responded that CPTED theoretical education is the most necessary.
 Through the above research results, it was empirically confirmed the perception gap between practitioners and middle managers who handle the police's CPTED tasks. This underscores the importance of communication efforts between the upper and lower members of the Community Safety Police organization to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of crime prevention tasks.
