국내 해양경찰 연구동향 분석: 한국해양경찰학회보를 중심으로

초록

This study aims to analyze the trends of research related to the maritime police and to analyze the characteristics of domestic maritime police-related research. Through this, the purpose is to explore which topics and sub-fields have been actively studied and which sub-fields have been neglected, and to derive sub-fields that should be supplemented in the future. To this end, the importance of research trend analysis, which has been actively conducted in various academic fields, was first reviewed, and the necessity of conducting research trend research in the field of police studies, especially in the field of maritime police studies, was discussed with a focus on the academic identity of maritime police studies. Afterwards, the titles, keywords, and Korean abstracts of all papers published so far in the Journal of the Korean Maritime Police Association, the only domestic KCI academic journal on the subject of maritime police, were converted into data, and then the status of maritime police-related research was analyzed by reclassifying them by year and subject and conducting frequency analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that domestic maritime police-related research is most concentrated in the ‘outside of maritime police studies’ field that is not within the scope of maritime police studies, and that the greatest focus is on the fields of ‘maritime police personnel management’ and ‘maritime security’ among the fields of maritime police studies. In addition, it was confirmed that a large number of studies were conducted in the fields of safety management, maritime police laws, organization management, equipment and technology management, but in contrast, very few studies were conducted in fields such as police control, international affairs, budget management, and pollution prevention. These research results show that the scope of maritime police studies is currently somewhat ambiguous, and maritime police-related research is biased toward a few topics. Based on this, it was suggested that the academic identity of maritime police studies should be studied more actively to clarify the subject and scope of the research in order to achieve balanced development of maritime police and maritime police studies.
