Attitudes in Korea toward Introducing Smart Policing Technologies: Differences between the General Public and Police Officers

Abstract

Abstract:This study analyzes different attitudes toward introduction of smart policing technologies in cybercrime policing among the Korean public and police. Policing is essential for a sustainable community. Technological advances in policing have both positive and negative aspects, making it essential to investigate perceptions of both public and police when introducing smart policing technologies. A discrete choice experiment was undertaken to survey preferences of the public and police toward introduction of such technologies and conduct simulation analysis to compare changes in the acceptance of various scenarios. The study divides cybercrime policing into prevention and investigation. The sample included 500 members of the public and 161 police officers. The results show that the public thinks an increase in yearly taxes and invasion of privacy are the most important factors. Conversely, the police think factors enhancing the efficiency of policing are most important. Moreover, when smart policing technologies are introduced, the public and police perceive more utility in the prevention and investigation of cybercrime, respectively. Few studies in this field separate the prevention and investigation of crimes, or compare perceptions of the public and police toward the introduction of smart policing technologies. This study's quantitative analysis provides insights lacking in previous literature.

Quantitative Analysis of Consumer Preferences of Windows Set in South Korea: The Role of Energy Efficiency Levels

“…For example, a customer would be willing to pay USD 3224 more for the certified environmentally-friendly indexed window. Furthermore, the relative importance measure enables researchers to compare across attributes and thereby, identify which attributes have the greatest impact on decision-making equation (3) depicts this calculation [36].…”

The service quality and satisfaction of smart policing in the UAE

“…Table 2 shows the results of three regression analyses predicting user satisfaction. Consistent with the customer value framework, it is clear that smart policing services must satisfy both the utilitarian aspect (integrity and transparency) (Meijer et al, 2015), and the hedonic aspect (interactivity, responsivity, and serviceability) (Moon et al, 2017) of police services which relate to smarttechnology. This helps to answer the question of whether utilitarian dimensions and/or hedonic dimensions are important and/or complementary to ensuring the satisfaction of users.…”

Artificial Intelligence (Ai) and Internet of Things (Iot): Threats or Future for the Police?

“…In this situation, it is necessary to think about how the police and policing are able to deal with disruption proactively and solve problems. According to Moon et al (2017) in the digital era or industrial revolution 4.0 which also leads to society 5.0, the policing model, in addition to morals and modern smart professionals is able to run smartly. In line with this, the smart policing model is implemented using regional approach models, the functional model, and the impact model on bureaucratic problems and society.…”
