Woman A, who lives in Gyeonggi-do, experienced a man next door breaking into the house at dawn in February last year, crossing the apartment balcony.



[Mr A/Victim: Because I heard a strange noise in my sleep. This is a sliding door, so the sound is very loud. So now, open that and come in.] The



arrested Mr. Yoo was also charged with assaulting a neighbor and was sentenced to two years and six months in prison.



However, due to a chronic illness, the arrest execution was suspended three times, each for more than a fortnight and a month at the longest.



The condition was that he would not return to the apartment where the incident occurred. 



Every time the arrest execution was stopped, the noise of living was heard from the empty next door, and Mr. A, who was subject to personal protection, pressed the smart watch.



The police were called, but only passive measures were taken, such as ringing the bell next door.



[Mr A/Victim: The police have no way to do anything until the person stabs me or injures me.] On



the 14th, Mr. A, who felt a suspicious pretense of popularity, reported it, This time, the police ran into Mr. Yoo, who was leaving the apartment.



The police only gave Yoo a verbal warning not to come home.



Afterwards, the court found that he had violated the conditions of suspension of execution and issued an arrest warrant, but Yoo escaped. 



[Mr A/Victim: Is it more than that the judge bought time for this person to run away?

It's more dangerous now.

If I can't catch it, how am I going to live my life now?] The



number of personal protection measures exceeded 20,000 this year, but one dedicated police officer protects an average of 80 people.



In order to prevent crimes against persons subject to personal protection, effective measures are needed, such as expanding access restraining orders and utilizing the location information of the perpetrators.
