In U.S.A., minimum wage of New Jersey in April 1, 1992 rose from $4.25 to $5.05. At this assession, there was survey by 410 numbers related back and pro minimum wage in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.. At stores of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, comparison of the increase of employment at constant minimum wag is with estimative effect of increase of minimum wage. Through comparison of stores of low wage and high wage above $5, employment volatility in New Jersey was studied. In U.S.A., increase of minimum wage was not caused to reduce to employment. Contrary to this, result of Korea was not consisted after timing of IMF bailout of 1997. It is because drop of revenue was caused to decrease employees of part-time and full-time job at the viewpoint of cost minimization.

본 논문은 1995년 1월 3일부터 2000년 11월 29일까지의 기간을 대상으로 (t-1)일의 미국 S&P500 주간수익률이 t일의 시점별로 세분화된 KOSPI200 수익률에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기존의 연구결과와 마찬가지로 외환위기 이후 우리 나라 주식시장이 미국 시장에 대한 동조화 현상이 심화되었고, (t-1)일의 미국 주가변동이 t일의 우리 나라 주가의 야간수익률 뿐 아니라 주간수익률에도 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 t일의 KOSPI200 수익률을 거래시점별로 세분하여 분석함으로써 이러한 지연적 전이효과의 시차(lag)와 각 시점별 강도에 관한 중요한 정보를 발견할 수 있었다. 무엇보다도 (t-1)일의 S&P500 주간수익률이 t일의 KOSPI200 주간수익률에 미치는 영향은 실제로 개장 직후 10분간의 수익률에 영향을 주는데 불과하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 시가+10분 수익률이 포함되지 않은 일중수익률은 별로 미국 주가변동에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 우리 나라 주식시장의 효율성과 미국 거래정보의 활용 가능성과 관련하여 중요한 시사점을 갖는다.

This paper was focused on the pressing issues of the U.S. correctional system. The outlines of the paper is as follows: Chap. 1. Introduction, Chap. 2. The Development of Corrections in the U.S., Chap. 3. The Organization of Corrections in the U.S., Chap. 4. Issues in the U.S. Corrections, Chap. 5. Concluding Remarks. The findings can be summarized as follows: From the colonial days to the present in the United States of America, the methods of criminal sanctions that are considered appropriate have varied. The development of the penitentiary brought a shift from corporal punishment. The Pennsylvania and New York systems were competing approaches to implementing the ideas of the penitentiary. The Declaration of Principles of 1870 contained the key element for the reformatory and rehabilitation models of corrections. The administration of corrections in the United States is fragmented in that various levels of government are involved. Jails, which are administered by local government, hold persons awaiting trial as well as sentenced offenders. Prison populations have more than doubled during the past decade. There has also been a great increase in facilties and staff to administer them.

우리나라에 있어서 2001년 1월 28일에 법률 제6206호로 민영교도소등의설치ㆍ운영에관한법률이 제정되었다. 이 법에 제정되기 이전에 교도소의 민영화가 타당한지 여부와 관련하여 상당한 논란이 존재하였다. 하지만 이제는 이 법이 제정된 이상 현시점에서 중요한 문제는 앞으로 어떻게 이 법을 적용하고 그로 인한 문제점을 해결할 것인지 여부다. 이러한 관점에서 민영교도소의 역사가 일천한 우리나라법제에 있어서는 외국의 경험을 빠짐없이 주시할 필요가 있다. 그 중에서도 민영교도소의 역사가 오래되었고 이와 관련된 사례가 풍부한 미국의 경험은 우리나라의 민영교도소가 앞으로 겪을 시행착오를 줄이는 데 도움이 될 것으로 믿는다. 미국의 민영교도소를 주제로 한 국내문헌이 여러 편 발표되어 있는 현실에서 본고는 미국의 민영교도소와 관련된 법적 쟁점을 중심으로 논의한다. 이러한 쟁점에는 다음의 세 가지가 존재한다. 그 첫 번째 쟁점은 교도소의 운영이 오로지 정부기능이기 때문에 민간기업에 위임이 불가하다는 이유로 교도소민영화를 인정하는 법률이 위헌인지 여부다. 본고는 이 쟁점에 대하여 교도소민영화를 인정하는 법률이 위헌이 아니란 것을 논증한다. 그 두 번째 쟁점은 민영교도소의 수용자가 정부가 운영하는 교도소의 수감자와 동일한 헌법상 보장된 권리를 누릴 수 있는지 여부다. 이와 관련하여 각종 테스트는 민영교도소의 수용자가 정부가 운영하는 교도소의 수감자와 동일한 헌법상 보장된 권리를 향유할 수 있다는 점을 입증한다. 교도소민영화를 인정하는 법률이 합헌이고 민영교도소의 수용자가 정부가 운영하는 교도소의 수감자와 동일한 헌법상 보장된 권리를 향유한다면 정부공무원에게 일반적으로 적용되는 면책규정이 민영교도소의 교도관에게 확대 적용할 수 있는지 여부가 세 번째 쟁점이다. 이 쟁점과 관련하여 본고는 민영교도소의 교도관이 제1983조에 따른 소에서 제한적 면책을 받을 수 없다는 것을 판례를 통하여 설명한다. 하지만 본고는 민영교도소에 대한 이해를 돕기 위하여 우선적으로 민영교도소의 역사를 다룬다. 여기에서는 미국에 있어서 민영화에 대한 일반론 및 민영교도소의 역사를 함께 고찰한다. 그런 다음 미국에서 주장되어 온 교도소의 민영화에 대한 찬반론을 소개한다. 그리고 전술한 바와 같은 세 가지 쟁점을 집중적으로 논의한 다음 결론을 내린다.

The article is to describe the recent phenomena in the area of American culture and religion such as multiculturalism, popular religion, and civil religion. It is also to evaluate those phenomena from the viewpoint of a missiological perspective. Multiculturalism is defined as all kinds of activities which try to support the various cultures and heritages of ethnic people groups and to overcome ethnocentrism. It is criticized by the conservatives as a political theory which tends to lose its truth, universality, and objectivity. From the missiological point of view, it can be used for developing the multicultural strategies for Christian missions. Popular religion exists outside the official religious institutions and it is related to the folk beliefs such as dream, charisma, trans meditation, channeling, angels, faith healing, and etc. It is criticized by Neoorthodox theologians that it tends to neglect the historical and political aspects of the social phenomena. Even though it is criticized by them as syncretism, it can be helpful for Christian missions to understand people's popular lives. Civil Religion is to respect the virtues and values of American citizens which are traced to Christian values such as temperance, private assets, individual responsibility, and patriotism. It is criticized as an ecumenical Protestant tribalism which tends to be misused by the imperialistic expansionism to destroy the cultures of minority. From the perspective of Christian missions, it should transform its selfishness into the world brotherhood in the 21 st century of the universal and multicultural world.

The result of variance decomposition through yield of Treasury of 30 year maturity of USA, S&P 500 index, stock price of KEPCO has 76.12% of impulse of KEPCO stock price at short-term horizon, but they have 51.40% at long-term horizon. After one year, they occupy 13.65%, and 33.25%. So their effects are increased. By the way, S&P 500 index and yield of Treasury of 30 year maturity of USA have relatively more effect for forecast of stock price oi KEPCO at short-term & long-term. The yield of Treasury of 30 year maturity of USA more than S&P 500 index have more effect for stock price of KEPCO. It is why. That foreign investors through fall of stock price of USA invest for emerging market is less than movement for emerging market of hedge funds through effect of fall of yield of Treasury of 30 year maturity of USA, according to relative effects for stock price of Korea companies. The result of variance decomposition through won/dollar foreign exchange rate, yield of corporate bond of 3 year maturity, Korea Stock Price index(KOSPI), stock price of KEPCO has 81.33% of impulse of KEPCO stock price at short-term horizon, but they have 41.73% at long-term horizon. After one year, they occupy 23.57% and 34.70%. So their effects are increased. By the way, KOSPI and won/dollar foreign exchange rate have relatively more effect for forecast of stock price of KEPCO at short-term & long-term. The won/dollar foreign exchange rate more than KOSPI have more effect for stock price of KEPCO. It is why. The recovery of economic condition through improvement of company revenue causes of rising of KOSPI. But, if persistence of low interest rate continues, fall of won/dollar foreign exchange rate will be more aggravated. And it will give positive effect for stock price of KEPCO. This gives more positive effect at two main reason. Firstly, through fall of won/dollar foreign exchange rate and rising of credit rating of Korea will be followed. Therefore, foreign investors will invest more funds to Korea. Secondly, inflow of foreign investment funds through profit of won/dollar foreign exchange rate and stock investment will be occurred. If appreciation of won against dollar is forecasted, foreign investors will buy won. Through this won, investors will do investment. Won/dollar foreign exchange rate is affected through external factors of yen/dollar foreign exchange rate, etc. Therefore, the exclusion of instable factors for foreign investors through rising of credit rating of Korea is necessary things.

Nowadays, there are many issues in introducing accreditation of occupational therapy education in Korea. Accreditation is a system for recognizing educational institutions and professional programs affiliated to those institutions on a level of performance, integrity, and quality which entitles them to the confidence of the educational community and the public they serve. I believe accreditation system in the United States is well-established through nongovernmental, voluntary institutional or professional association. On the basis of analyzing accreditation system of the United States, this study introduces the arrangement for establishing of accreditation policy in Korea.

The purpose of this article is to examine the treatment program of adolescent sex offenders in America. Thereby, it attempts to provide several improvement ways in adolescent sex offender treatment in Korea. In America, the social policy response to adolescents who commit sexual offenses has undergone dramatic change since the early 1980s. Prior to this time, acts of sexual offense by teenagers were often dismissed or trivialized. And treatment programs were rare. But, the crimes are considered serious, juvenile sex offenders are routinely prosecuted since 1980s. Sex offending by teenagers has come to be viewed as a unique form of deviance that requires different rehabilitative strategies than do those employed with other offenders. So, specialized treatment programs have proliferated. The cornerstone of policies regarding intervention, both within institutions and in community, is that juveniles who commit sexual offenses should be mandated to participate in specialized treatment programs that specifically address the sex offense behavior. Specialized treatment programs for adolescent sex offender have proliferated, continuously. Specialized treatment programs for adolescent sex offender are provided within institutions and in community in America. And most programs are provided in community. Based on reviewing realities of adolescent sex offender program in America, it suggest several ways for effective treatment in Korea.

According to International Maritime Organization. more than 50% of cargoes transported by sea today can be regarded as dangerous or hazardous ones, mainly consisting of chemical cargoes in bulk, likely solid or liquid and other materials, such as gases and products for and of the oil refinery industry. 46% of total cargoes handled in ports of Korea in 1999. is said to be dangerous cargoes. These dangerous and hazardous cargoes are quite within a high realms of possibility of accidents, likely to be grave disaster. This paper reviews current risk management system for the dangerous and hazardous cargoes sea-transportation, mainly focusing on the prevailing regal regimes in both USA and Korea. And it aims to suggest some points for advancing the existing Korean system.

This study looked specifically at the community corrections programs in Virginia where those are being practiced statewide. For the research, the interviews with program managers not only in the state level but also in the specific field level were conducted. The major findings are as follows: (1) For the successful management of these programs, it is important to make best use of community resources and to manage the conflicts with local residents effectively. (2) Even though in Virginia community corrections programs are cost-efficient, the operation of these programs cannot be stable because of budgetary or political reason. So the success of community corrections depends upon the favorable policy environment to these fields. (3) More programs may be initiated by the existing correctional systems in lieu of creating new community corrections programs or facilities. All in all, the diversion center program, especially for non-felon women offenders can be useful and considerable in the short run in Korea. This program can be applied in private prisons, women's correctional facilities or open house facilities in our nation.
