초고령사회 스마트 치안복지를 위한 AI ․ IoT 범죄예방시스템 분석과 법적수용성

This study aims to analyze the structure and operational status of AI ․ IoT-based Smart Policing-Welfare as a new policing paradigm to address the rapidly increasing safety issues of the elderly in a super-aged society, while examining its legal feasibility and limitations. The growth of the elderly population expands not only the risk of criminal victimization but also non-criminal hazards such as accidents, missing person cases, and social isolation-challenges that the traditional reactive policing system struggles to address effectively. In this context, this research establishes the theoretical foundation of Smart Policing-Welfare as a prevention-centered and managed policing model. It also analyzes crime prevention systems that utilizes sensors, CCTV, and AI analytics, as well as community-based structures involving cooperation between the police and local governments. Furthermore, it examines the applicability of the current legal framework and identifies legal gaps, focusing on fundamental rights issues such as the right to information self-determination, privacy infringement, and intensified surveillance. The findings indicate that while Smart Policing-Welfare demonstrates practical effectiveness in terms of policing efficiency and elderly protection, the risk of fundamental rights violations may structurally increase if legal standards and control mechanisms remain insufficient. Consequently, this study suggests the necessary legal criteria and directions for ensuring institutional coherence to establish Smart Policing-Welfare as a sustainable public policy in a super-aged society.
