In advanced country, private investigation system is made up of private security and in
domestic, there is growing need constantly to introduce private investigation but it is not
passed until now in assembly so a messenger office which is run illegally is growing because
of demand by subdividing business areas.
That is a proof that both the police and private security don't meet demand of public
peace to the public. that's why the police has own businesses like a investigation, traffic,
intelligence, crime prevention and private security's business areas are limited like a facilities
security, escort security, protection of a person, machine security, special security as the
Private Security Act.
This study attempts to know structural difference between private security system and
private investigation system in case private investigation system becomes one of the private
security. on some question, respondents reply like that private security and private
investigation is very different(71.2%), different(22.4%), average(6.3%), similar(0.0%), very
similar(0.0%). the result seems like respondents recognize private security and private
investigation as different businesses. In the result of non-quantity analysis, the differences
seem like a business character, expense, business scope, public power, scale of organization,
object of threat, legislation.
In domestic, effort to legislate private investigation system has undergone difficulty since
congressman Ha Soon Bong's motion in 1999 and today, congressman Yoon Jae Ok's All
Amendments Private Security Act and congressman Song Young Geun's Private
Inveswtigation Act are pending in assembly.
This study's result is intended for examining difference in exploration between private
security and private investigation and then there is going to propose to the policy in case
private investigation system is passed in assembly by amending Private Security Act like
congressman Yoon Jea Ok's All Amendment Private Security Act.
