공인탐정법(안)의 주요쟁점에 대한 고찰

The need to utilize licensed detective system as a system to safeguard the lives and property of individuals from such social side effects and to meet these demands from various criminal acts other than public power is highly posed. This licensed detective system is based on the principle of beneficiary burden, and the demand for the detective service to collect information and conduct a survey on the level of private sector is continuously increasing. For illegal actors, the investigative agency focuses on criminal cases in which social attention is concentrated, and neglects the violation of legal interests of individuals who have little influence on public opinion. On these issues, people are distrustful of investigative institutions and criminals are not being reduced. It is therefore permissible for a person who has been infringed to a limited extent to exercise relief directly by himself. In order to apply this trend, all of the 34 OECD countries except Korea are introducing licensed detective system. In Korea, too, the necessity of introducing licensed detective system has been raised, and legislative proposals have been submitted to the National Assembly for the introduction of licensed detective system through the efforts of national legislators and experts from various fields.
