The aim of this study is to examine the legal system relating protection of domestic violence victims. First, the police authority to enter the domestic violence place without warrant should be amended in Domestic Violence Special Act. Second, the urgent temporary measures in Domestic Violence Special Act be amended to grant police authority more widely. Third, processes of police to deal with the domestic violence cases should be improved to decrease the ending the case on the scene without action on aggressor. Mandatory arrest policy that is adopted in America be introduced partly to prevent second domestic violence by the aggressor. Lastly, the legal basis regulating victim protection be enacted in Domestic Violence Special Act instead of National Police Agency Regulation.
