Abstract

With the emergence of information age, the environment in which the criminal justice system and national security agencies operate changes. Due to this transition, expertise and scientific capacity are heavily emphasized. Yet, unlike governments like the United States, the Korean government still ignores the use of highly qualified civilian experts within the public sector. Therefore, this report suggests the use of these highly qualified civilian experts within the government sector especially related to criminal justice and national security by using content analysis of various literature. This report proposes a policy suggestion that effectively responses to the transition of criminal justice and national security environment. Also, this study proposes how highly qualified civilian experts can be effectively utilized in today's rapidly changing social environment. It discusses systematic and concrete guidelines which can identify and manage civilian experts in various fields who can significantly contribute to the productivity of various government agencies. For doing so, this study analyzes the U.S. practice of use of highly qualified civilian experts for its various government sectors related to criminal justice and national security. Then, it suggests some lessons that can be learnt by comparing the U.S. case with the current Korean government practices.
