강력범죄 피의자에 대한 신상공개 : 판단기준 분석과 정책변동론의 적용

The disclosure of heinous crime suspects is a subject of constant debate over the conflict between the public’s right to know and the suspect’s right to basic rights. In this situation, the judgment criteria and policy changes of the Committee of the disclosure that decide whether to open a new entity are critical. Since the introduction of the “New System” for certain violent criminals in 2010, the personal information of 22 suspects has been released, but critics say the decision is inconsistent and objective. Through the analysis of decision cases (a total of 33 cases), the ‘protection of human rights of the victims’ and ‘psychological diseases of the accused’ were presented as additional criteria for judgment of the publication. In addition, the formation and development process of policing policy was analyzed by applying the policy variation theory of the second organizational change of the Committee. From an incrementalist perspective of adding completeness while modifying and supplementing existing policies, we hope that the “New System” will develop into a better policy based on its experience and sound criticism.
