Analyzing problems of district-based admin-istration using Monte Carlo simulation: the case of sex offenders notification

Abstract

The problems of administration simply based on administrative unit that does not consider the operational purpose of the system have been consistently mentioned. For example, in the Republic of Korea, sex offenders information is notified by mail only in some regions. However, the information of sex offenders is notified based on the administrative ‘Dong’ of the offender's residence, so even if you live in the building next to the offender, you cannot be notified because the dong of residence is different. Therefore, in this study, the problems of administration that did not consider the realistic scope were analyzed using the case of sex offender. By expanding the distance, we derived the extent of the sex offenders notification problem. Also, in order to determine whether this problem occurred by chance at a specific point in time or a fundamental limitation in administration, Monte Carlo simulation were applied to compare the degree of problems in actual residence and random residence data.
