In this study, the status of criminal offenses by foreigners in Korea from 2000to 2009 was analyzed by nationalities, years, charges and regions, and comparative analysis was carried out, centering on 'correlation between increase in foreign immigration and 'comparison between crime rate and type of natives and foreigners'. In addition, the foreign crimes over the past ten years were analyzed and implications and necessity of program for law-related education were reviewed to prevent foreign crimes and damages. Lastly, a plan which can be applied to related programs was presented. The ratio of registered foreigners has increased 2.4 times in recent 10 years,but the ratio of foreign crimes has increased 6.1 times during the same period. Looking at by the types of crimes, immigration related forgery crimes have been committed most for the last 5 years, followed by violation of immigration law and foreign exchange management act, violence, theft, a fraud, gambling and a lottery ticket related crimes. Looking at the crimes by countries, in case of China, most criminals were related to violence and forgery of documents,Vietnam a theft and forgery of documents, and Russia a theft, respectively. In case of the United States, violation of road traffic act constituted most crimes committed in the past, but most recently, drug related crimes were the most common crimes committed in Korea. In case of crimes by illegal aliens, it turned out that they have little effect on increase in foreign crime rate, if any. However, due to enforcement of relief policy by the Ministry of Justice, about 2,400 Korean residents abroad have been redeemed for almost a year, and in relation to this, legal education is required, targeting these people. Regular law education program targeting foreigners has not yet been in operation, but to maintain stable social order, regular law(order) education program for prevention of foreign crimes and damages is urgently required at the present time when Korea is being proceeded rapidly into immigration country. On this, this study suggested utilizing education/support programs from the Ministry of Justice, center for Korean legal education, technical education support group for overseas Korean and national multi-culture support agencies as current programs which can be utilized in establishment of law education programs.
