There were several cases last year that resulted in the death of the victim or his or her family at the end of the stalking crime.

Although the voices calling for the prevention of brutal crimes have been repeated every time, our society has failed to protect victims of crimes again.

As criticism of the investigative authorities' passive response grew, the police and prosecutors decided to form a consultative body and look into past cases again.



More details will be provided by Reporter Lee Seong-hoon.

Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok, who prevented Commissioner Yoon Hee-geun from his first outside appointment, emphasized cooperation in responding to stalking crimes.



[Lee Won-seok / Prosecutor General: First of all, we will find a way for both organizations to actively cooperate with the safety of the victim as the main focus within the existing laws and regulations.]



The first plan the police revealed immediately after the interview was the police and police consultative body.



From reporting a stalking incident to interim measures for the perpetrator and requesting an arrest warrant, this council will expedite the process for the victim.



In particular, he said that he would focus on lowering the court dismissal rate of more than 50%, saying that he would actively utilize Interim Measure No.



In addition, the police decided to investigate not only 1,700 cases of stalking that the police are currently investigating, but also cases that were disregarded because there were no charges.



The plan is to re-evaluate whether there are additional crimes and take safety measures for victims or file additional charges.



We also promote long-term tasks necessary for law revision.



If the perpetrator violates emergency measures such as prohibition of access, he is subject to criminal punishment rather than a fine, and as it takes two to five days for the court's decision on Interim Measure No. He announced that he would introduce an emergency provisional measure.
