외국인의 경찰 신뢰에 관한 연구

초록

Despite the growing number of foreigners living in the Korea, there has been little research on their confidence in police. While there has been a lot of research on confidence in police in other countries, including different racial and ethnic groups, most of the research in Korea has been conducted among its own citizens. Since confidence in police is formed differently in different countries, there are limitations in applying foreign studies to Korea society. Therefore, it is important for the police to develop a trustful relationship with foreigners in order to effectively carry out their increasingly foreign-related tasks. This study examined how various factors affect confidence in police among foreigners living in Korea. This study examined how foreigners' experience of discrimination, level of assimilation into Korean society, media contact, and collective efficacy affect their confidence in police. The analysis of 1,200 foreigners living in foreign population concentrated areas in Korea showed that higher collective efficacy was associated with significantly higher confidence in police. In addition, the results showed that the fewer the number of discrimination experiences, the longer the period of residence, and the more media contact, the higher the confidence in police. Based on the results of the study policy recommendations and limitations for the study are presented.
