학교폭력에 대한 경찰의 대응방안: 회복적 정의와 응보적 정의의 관점에서 = Police Response Measures for School Violence: From Restorative and Retributive Justice Perspectives

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A number of suicide incidents along with other serious events that have occurred recently have drawn attention to the issue of school violence. In response to the problem, government officials are discussing possible measures and the police is implementing different interventions. This study analyzes five major policies of the police. The results disclose that the police is still administering policies based on retributive justice, and some of the measures have aspects of both retributive and restorative justice. Although the organization has strived to focus on restorative justice in which victims are recovered through the support of local communities and offending students are provided with proper guidance instead of punishment-oriented programs. Despite the effort, there seems to be an ambiguity in regard to what restorative justice is and the measures focusing on the offenders are still prevalent. The study results emphasize the need for responding to school violence from the perspective of restorative justice and considering victims and local communities as one entity while systematizing their participation. Furthermore, providing educational sessions for the police officers with the responsibilities related to school violence on restorative justice will help it take root in the field.
