한국 범죄피해자 지원법제의 현황과 발전방향

A Study on the Victim Protection System in Korea

Korean legal system on the criminal victim protection has been made great strides during last two decades. The rapid developments since 2000's have been made on the initiative of national organizations like as Ministry of Justice(MOJ) or Minisry of Gender Equality and Family(MOGF). Almost of civil organizations of victim support have been grown up as non-governmental organization subordinated to those government circles. Korean legal system of victim protection and support mainly has been made by imitation of advanced statutes of orther countries by the bureaucratic decisions or strong public pressure rather than be based on the experiences and victims' demands from the workplace. Here and now, it's very relevant to analyse problems and to seek for the way of improvement for the korean legal system of victim support which has been rapidely developed in a short period. In this paper I tried to present a basic conception for the sharing my perception about the problems in Koeran legal system of victim protection and desirable direction of development.
