In a recent period, it becomes more and more important to keep the cutting-edge industrial technology secured. This is because competitive technology appears to be a cornerstone of national power. Although the industrial espionage must be an illegal behavior or a kind of white-collar crime, there has been few researches on industrial espionage from a criminological perspective. This study investigates the relationship between industrial espionage, self-control, and organizational commitment. The hypotheses of this study were found to be statistically significant. The hypothesis 1 that the high self-control reduces the possibility of industrial espionage was accepted, and the hypothesis 2 that the high organizational commitment reduces the possibility of industrial espionage was also accepted. This results showed that self-control and organizational commitment were the key factors to prevent industrial espionage, which eventually reinforces industrial security. This study used a convenient sampling, which might be the limits of this study. By using a convenient sampling, the result of the study could not depend on representative sample. Nonetheless, this study was trying to explore the relationship between industrial espionage, self-control, and organizational commitment which was not researched yet. The purpose of this study is to contribute to find out the criminological causes of industrial espionage and eventually to prevent it.

Despite the trend and severity of industrial technology outflow crime, little research has been conducted about the effect of police force on that kind of crime in Korea. Consequently, this research preliminarily empirically examined relationship between foreign affairs police forces such as policemen, budget, establishing special investigation unit and the arrest of industrial technology outflow crime due to the limit of related data. Research findings can be summarized as follows. A statistically significant positive relationship was found between foreign police budget and the arrest of crime in the country. On the contrary, foreign police force is not significantly associated with the arrest and occurrence of crime overseas. Based on the result, the effect of the police force such as hardware factors including policemen, budget on the industrial technology outflow crime seemed to be weak. Consequently, considering police alternatives from previous researches, several implications such as reinforcement of foreign police force by increasing personnel and organizational innovation, enriching training program, strengthening the domestic and foreign cooperative network between police and related bodies can be suggested. Also, the improvement of the formal statistics on the industrial technology outflow crime and strenthening public relations can be recommended.

Modern society is to have an significant impact on the competitiveness of the country in which the economic value is very high occupancy and ensure a state-of-the-art science and technology. The country's core technology or industry security crimes going seized state-of-the-art technology firms can threat of damage to the country's economic security. In particular, the defense industry serious crime that is directly related to national security. The company's core technology and trade secrets leaked once the industrial countries must prevent security breaches and offenses of strict punishment measures because it is impossible to recover. Also, some advanced countries directly has been operating industrial security crime for the country's economy and national security. In recent years, Nation core technology infringement cases are rapidly increasing in the country. In addition, industrial security crime threat to national security. Therefore, the industry security crimes damage to the national security that infringe on the business secrets of core technologies and businesses. It is necessary to identify that industry security crime associated with the visibility of the broad scope of intellectual property protection.

Industrial secrets that companies own recently protected by various act related industrial security such as Trade Secret Act, Act on Prevention of Divulgence and Protection of Industrial Technology, etc. However, despite such protection infringement and leakage accidents of industrial secrets is increasing every year. According to a survey conducted by KAITS(Korean Association for Industrial Technology Security) annual average of estimated damage by industrial secrets leakage is estimated to be "50 trillion won." This is equivalent to the amount of annual revenue of small businesses more than 4,700 units. Following this, industrial secrets leakage causes serious damages to competitiveness of nation and companies and economic. However investment and effort to the industrial secrets leakage crime is lack of level compared to the scale of damage. Actually, most companies except some major companies are lack of response action about industrial secrets leakage because of shortage of separate organization, workforce, budget for industrial secrets leakage security. This paper aims to understand the overall flow of the industrial secrets leakage crime through various taxonomy such as cause of occurrence and leakage pathway and grasp the condition of damage from industrial secrets leakage through analyzation of internal and external industrial secrets leakage crime. This is expected to be the basis for related research.

According to the document from the National Industrial Security Center in 2015, from 2003 to 2014 the disclosure number of industrial spy in South Korea was 438, and the damages due to the industrial technology leakages amounted 50 trillion won annually. Because the industrial technology leakage exercises great influence on the enterprises and the country. countermeasures against industrial technology leakages should be established. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to suggest measures preventing industrial technology leakages and related crimes in enterprises by applying the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design(CPTED) technique. This research analyzed the recent technology leakage cases and used an analysis of literature research. From the result of this research, we suggested 1) Access Control, 2) Surveillance Enhancement, 3) Territoriality of Reinforcement, and 4) Activity Support by applying the CPTED technique for preventing industrial technology leakages. The limitations of this research and the recommendations for future research were discussed at the last part of this research.

Small and medium-sized enterprises play a fundamental role in the foundation of our country's industry and economy, and most technological innovations occur in small and medium-sized enterprises rather than large corporations. Technology development and innovation are the only way for small and medium-sized enterprises to survive in a fiercely competitive environment, so they focus on it, but interest and investment in technology protection tend to be stingy. As a result, industrial technology leakage accidents occur frequently, and it is difficult to meet improvement measures. When a leak occurs, digital evidence is required to prove criminal activity, but problems such as digital evidence being damaged or deleted due to management loopholes often occur. Therefore, through this study, we aim to design a digital evidence-based countermeasure depending on the type of technology leak accident. We will classify the types of technology leak incidents that actually occurred and study ways to secure digital evidence in the security environment of small and medium-sized businesses that operate internal information leak prevention solutions.

Modern society is operated based on the internet, wireless networks, and digital devices to the extent that it is called a digital society. In particular, as most of financial transactions, information movement, and commercial activities are based online, various social problems and side effects related to this are increasing rapidly. Representative examples include industrial espionage activities and leakage of industrial technology, and social problems such as illegal goods trade such as drugs using online and online gambling are increasing to a serious level. These digital-based social problems cannot be solved only by the activities and capabilities of judicial institutions such as police and prosecutors. Now that the private investigation market is open, active intervention using them is necessary. To this end, it is necessary to actively cultivate private investigator's ability to investigate and collect evidence in relation to digital social and criminal problems. In addition, each private investigation education institution or association should actively invest and research this.

In January and August 2019, there were amendments to the Unfair Competition and Trade Secrets Protection Act (UCPA) and the Industrial Technology Protection Act(ITPA). These amendments will contribute to technology protection. But these amendments need to be supplemented further. In the area of civil remedies, despite the introduction of treble damages in the case of the UCPA and ITPA, the provisions related to the submission of supporting data have not been maintained. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the claim of the other party as true if it is maintained at the level of the revised Patent Act and the scope of submission of supporting data. And the enforcement of the case of compulsory submission for the calculation of damages, and the order of filing documents are not followed. ITPA, on the other hand, has introduced the compensation for damages, but there is no provision for estimating the amount of damages. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the amount of lost profits, profits, and royalties. In the area of criminal remedies, both the UCPA and ITPA have raised the penalty, but the sentencing regulations are not maintained. In addition, although the recent outflow of technology has expanded beyond organizational deviations to organizational outflows, amendments need to be made in relation to the serious consequence for the punishment of related juristic persons, such as companies involved in it. It should be noted that Japan and the United States have corporate regulations and regulations. In addition, in relation to the confiscation system, Act on Regulation and Punishment of criminal proceeds concealment require that domestic defenses be confiscated by defense industry technology, while trade secrets and industrial technologies are confiscated only by "foreign" outflows, and an amendment is necessary.
