다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Police officers in a modern society take the roles of problem solution providers for communities as well as taking traditional missions and roles. In other words, police officers are often regarded as the providers of proactive services for communities and neighborhoods. Accordingly, researches on the value systems of police officers should involve more than the base structure for decision-making processes and actions centered upon criminal control within a given community. Such studies must comprise expanded investigation focused on the values of local communities. This study categorized police officers into four groups through reciprocal crossing based on terminal value and instrumental value, the two factors introduced as the theoretical framework for the value systems of police officers, and provides comparison among the four groups of the levels of recognition of social values for each group and the levels of recognition of social values according to the differences in individual characteristics and environmental changes for the police officers belonging to each group. It is important to establish the institutional framework to assist in the execution of polices for social and economic goals of the government as well as the development and realization of successful models of local community-based police activities based on the results of the analysis of the comparison. But it is essentially more important to act upon the results of the diagnosis, assessment, and model establishment from the value systems pursued by the police officers.
