Abstract

The purpose of this article was to propose improvement of countermeasure for missing person cases. While current related other studies examined practice of the countermeasure from inner viewpoint of police authorities itself, this study focused on and analyzed concern or criticism expressed through mass media, outside of the authorities. For this purpose, we analyzed newspaper articles dealing with missing person issued during past 5 years with qualitative data analysis software. The analysis revealed that civil community demands immediacy of coping with missing, phased expertise, systemicity of the countermeasure, improvement of relating policy, and active liaison with community. According to the needs, we proposed advancing risk assessment procedure, enlarging dedicated team for missing case, improving profiling-input system, adding duty for family of missing person, and enhancing of function of control tower.

본 논문은 실종사건에 대한 대응체계의 개선방안을 제시하기 위해 수행되었다. 기존 관련 연구는 대부분 경찰 내부의 실종 대응현황에 대한 검토와 분석을 통하여 개선방안을 제시하는 방법을 활용하였으나, 본 연구는 외부 일반사회의 시각에서 제기하는 현행 실종 대응체계에 대한 우려 또는 비판을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 지난 5개년 동안 보도된 실종 관련 기사를 질적 연구 프로그램으로 분석한 결과, 초기대응의 비효율, 실종 대응절차별 전문성 부족, 실종 대응 종합관리의 미흡 및 지역사회의 협력 부족 등에 대한 우려가 있음을 발견하였다. 이에 대하여 실종 초기대응의 개선안으로 실종 위험성 판단절차의 정비, 대응절차별 전문성 확보방안으로 실종전담팀의 확충과 프로파일링 입력시스템의 개선 및 실종자 가족 대상 업무의 설정 및 전문화, 실종 대응 종합체계의 구축방안으로 컨트롤타워의 역할 강화 및 체계적 정보관리체계 구축 등을 제시하였다. 제시된 방안을 보다 구체적이고 종합적으로 후속 연구하고 실무의 측면에서 이를 분석 및 검토하여 실종 대응에 대한 지속적인 개선이 도출되어야 한다.
