Recently the arson crime is increased remarkably in comparison with different violent crimes and the pace of increase is very quick. But Social interest about the crime is still slight, it is a fact that the scientific and professional approaches about the crime is insufficient. This problem causes lower arrest rate of the arson crime than the other crime. So, we need to infer the behavior of a arsonist at the crime scene and analyze the profile and psychological state of the suspect from unique point at the crime scene scientifically and professionally. After arresting the arsonist, we interviewed him and compared a product of interview with our analysis previous to arrest.

This study is to develop a named entity recognition model specialized in criminal investigation domains using deep learning techniques. Through this study, we propose a system that can contribute to analysis of crime for prevention and investigation using data analysis techniques in the future by automatically extracting and categorizing crime-related information from text-based data such as criminal judgments and investigation documents. For this study, the criminal investigation domain text was collected and the required entity name was newly defined from the perspective of criminal analysis. In addition, the proposed model applying KoELECTRA, a pre-trained language model that has recently shown high performance in natural language processing, shows performance of micro average(referred to as micro avg) F1-score 98% and macro average(referred to as macro avg) F1-score 95% in 9 main categories of crime domain NER experiment data, and micro avg F1-score 98% and macro avg F1-score 62% in 56 sub categories. The proposed model is analyzed from the perspective of future improvement and utilization.

In recent years, as smart phone penetration rate is growing explosively, new forms of cyber crime data is poured out beyond the limits of management system for cyber crime investigation. These new forms of data are collected and stored in police station but, some of data are not systematically managed. As a result, investigators sometimes miss the hidden data which can be critical for a case. Crime data is usually generated by computer which produces complex and huge data and records many logs automatically, so it is necessary to simplify a collected data and cluster by crime pattern. In this paper, we categorize all kinds of cyber crime and simplify crime database and extract critical clues relative to other cases. Through data mining and network-visualization, we found there is correlation between clues of a case. From this result, we conclude cyber crime data mining helps crime prevention, early blocking and increasing the efficiency of the investigation.

In Korea, all investigations of maritime crime such as murder, robbery, drug trafficking, and illegal fishing that have been committed at sea are under the jurisdiction of maritime police. As maritime crimes tend to have more unique cases, cause damage on a larger scale, and be limited to evidence that is possibly contaminated, compared to non-maritime crimes, the cases demand maritime police investigators with a higher level of expertise. However, there is currently a lack of competent investigators in the maritime police, leading to the training of maritime police investigators in training agencies. so many of maritime investigators goes to land police training agency including Korean Police Investigation Academy. Therefore, in order to improve the capabilities of maritime crime investigation we must first gather information and data in relation to maritime crimes to foster more investigation specialists, and establish specialized training agencies offering a training course more focused on maritime crimes.

Recently investigation institutions have found the clue leading to solution of the problem by digital evidence. Digital medium is used extensively in real life. Accordingly, offender is leaving from traces of crime to digital form. But, Korea's digital evidence investigation is low level yet. Definite legislation about digital evidence is not readied in present our country. And professional investigation manpower about digital evidence is insufficient. These problem may have to be supplemented urgently. Systematic, technological supporting is required. Specialize and discussed digital evidence investigation's controversial point and capacity reinforcement way for efficient confrontation in cyber crime who is diversified gradually in text.

Korea society is known as gambling republic. It is very dishonorable name, but do not deny this if know the real condition. Gambling had spread gradually in our society and these trend caused much problems. It is true that confrontation was insufficient extremely in reply than gravity of gambling. Tend to recognize gambling by one of leisure life by effect of lawful gambling so-called such as horse racing, casino. While pernicious evil of gambling to our society, police's confrontation system is not effective. The police does technique investigation to look for and arrest criminal using criminal's fixed means and method and habit. Crime who correspond to technique investigation is prescribing to crime technique mutual assistance data administration rule. Gambling is excepted in technique crime's subject despite is very repeatable and is crime who have habit. The police must improve in gambling criminal investigation system for society public order.

Fingerprinting is a frontier technique that is the most frequently applied for human identification throughout the world. All citizens over 17 year old living in the Republic of Korea must be fingerprinted to obtain a certificate of resident registration. In Korea, for this reason, human identification through fingerprints has been far better developed and used efficiently both in crime scene investigation and in confirmation of an unidentified body. Scientific approaches have been made to accurately extract the metamorphosed fingerprints in various environments. Because most of the studies on fingerprinting have been accomplished with biometric techniques, researches on restoration of human dermal tissue and taking custody data after collecting fingerprints have been comparatively undermined. In this study, a newly innovative method for fingerprint extraction was developed using the polyester film with print powders and the high temperature-moisturizing method. Compared to the conventional fingerprinting method of paper with ink, minutiae numbers of fingerprints were greatly increased in polyester film with print powders after restoration of fingertips by high temperature-moisturization. This newly developed procedure would be an efficient fingerprinting technique which could be utilized in scientific investigation and in personal identification in the future. Furthermore, the new method for restoration and extraction of fingerprints are easy and inexpensive to practice for a number of human identification.

The followings are required to establish uniform principle of criminal jurisdiction for international cyber crime into customary international law; (1) clear guideline of UN for promoting national practice (2) formation of general practices based on these guidelines (3) these general practices should obtain legal confidence. International society is in close cooperation for investigating and controlling cyber threat. The US FBI has closed down the largest online crime space called 'Darkcode' and prosecuted related hackers based on joint investigation with 19 countries including England, Australia, Canada, Bosnia, Croatia, Israel, and Rumania. More and more people in Korea are raising their voices for joining cyber crime treaty, 'Budapest Treaty.' Budapest Treaty is the first international treaty prosecuting cyber crime by setting out detailed regulations on internet criminal act. Member countries have installed hotline for cyber crime and they act together. Except European countries, America, Canada, and Japan have joined the treaty. In case of Korea, from few years before, it is reviewing joining with Ministry of Foreign affairs, Ministry of Justice and the National Police but haven't made any conclusion. Different from offline crime, cyber crime is planned in advance and happens regardless of border. Therefore, international cooperation based on position of punishing criminals and international standards. Joining of Budapest international cyber crime treaty shall be done as soon as possible for enhancing national competence.

Digital forensics is the process of proving criminal charges by collecting and analyzing digital evidence which is related to the crime in question. Most digital forensic research is focused on digital forensic techniques themselves or cyber crime. In this paper, we designed a digital forensics-criminal investigation linked model in order to effectively apply digital forensics to various types of criminal investigations. Digital forensic ontology was developed based on this model. For more effective application of digital forensics to criminal investigation we derived specific application fields. The ontology has legality rules and adequacy rules, so it can support investigative decision-making. The ontology can be developed into an intelligent criminal investigation system.

While the crime scene investigation, evidences are found to search with the naked eyes and to use science equipments. Crime evidences, which are used as judgement, have various things: blood, sperm, saliva, hair, fingerprint, fiber, soil, paint, and so on, especially, fingerprints could take through crime scene investigation, and in there, it could distinguish individually. In this case study, sort of leathers: a wallet, a belt, and a sofa, which are needed special identification even thought people experience easily in usual day, are tried many of the identification tests. As a result, using fluorescent magnetic powder method or fluorescent powder method as identification of many leathers is most efficient.
