Abstract

The growing desire for quality of life naturally increases the interest in security. The explosive demand for private security proves one side of the situation. While payments for security can be supplemented by private security, public security is essentially one of the basic functions of a minimum state. Therefore, this study examines individuals' willingness to pay(WTP) for public security policies. Utilizing data from the Korean General Social Survey(KGSS) on the individuals' WTP, this study conducted ordered logistic regression analysis.

FINDINGS indicated that only spouses, violent crime risk exposure, vulnerability and capability were statistically significant. On the other hand, demographic characteristics such as age, sex, education, and monthly average income were not statistically significant. Based on these results, this study tries to find ways to improve the effectiveness of security policy.
