This article traced modern trends of penological ideas in terms of the origin and development for each ideas. It is followed by classifying them as three distinct types: correctional treatment, legal treatment and community-based treatment for criminals, and discussing the similarities and differences between them. Finally, it concluded with the discussion of prospective global cooperation among correctional authorities.

Probation has been one of major punishment alternatives in Korea since 1989 for both juvenile delinquents and adult criminals. The wide use of probation symbolically convey the changing conception of how to treat criminals: the change from treatment in the security-bound prisons to community-based treatment. While the number of criminals under probation has increased rapidly from 4,928 in 1989 to 140,858 in 2001 and the function of probation office has increased, the number of probational officer has been staggered: from 217 probation officer in 1989 to 511 officer in 2002. Based on these discrepancies we easily notice the heavy workload of the probation officers. Through a attitude survey drawn from probation officers, I suggest a few recommendations to improve the practices of probation.

경험적 직교함수(EOF)분석법과 다중회귀법에 기초하여 지연상관된 광역규모 예측인자로부터 3개월 이전에 계절 강수량을 예측할 수 있는 슈퍼앙상블 모델이 개발되었다. 이 모델의 예측성이 교차검증법에 의해 평가되었다. 관측값과 예측값사이의 상관계수는 봄철에 0.73, 여름철에 0.61, 가을철에 0.69, 겨울철에 0.75로 나타났다. 이러한 값은 유의수준 α=0.00에서 유의한 값이다. 수퍼 앙상블 방법의 범주형 예측성이 3개 범주로 나누어진 사례에 대해서 평가되었다. 3개 범주는 계절 누적강수량의 상위 33.3%를 과우해, 하위 33.3%를 소우해, 그 나머지를 평년해로 구분하였다. 범주형 예측의 적중률은 계절에 따라 42%에서 74%로 나타났다.

This paper presents a rope modeling and verification for the robotic platform of the wall cleaning robot (ROPE RIDE). ROPE RIDE has the characteristics of climbing up and down using a rope fixed on the roof like traditional workers. In order to perform a stable operation with a wall cleaning robot, it is necessary to estimate the position of the robot in a vertical direction. However, due to the high coefficient of extension and nonlinearity of the climbing rope, it is difficult to predict the behavior of the rope. Thus, in this paper, the mathematical modeling of the rope was carried out through the preliminary experiment. Extensive experiments using different types of rope were used to determine the parameters of the constitutive equation of climbing ropes. The validity of the determined parameters of various ropes was verified through the experiment results.
