Gyeonggi-do Introduces 'One-Strike Out' Policy for Public Safety Crimes Including Food and Environment
[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is introducing a 'One Strike Out System' for public livelihood crimes closely related to residents' daily lives, such as food and environment.
On the 30th, Gyeonggi Province announced that despite continuous crackdowns, public livelihood crimes have repeatedly occurred, so apart from criminal punishment, it has prepared measures to strengthen administrative sanctions by city and county governments, imposing strong penalties such as business suspension on illegal and fraudulent businesses.
This is based on the judgment that since most criminal punishments are minor fines, the private gains obtained through fraudulent means exceed the penalties, and public livelihood crimes are not eradicated.
Accordingly, the province requested city and county governments to strengthen administrative sanctions by not allowing business suspensions to be replaced with fines, and plans to propose amendments to laws and regulations to central government agencies such as the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety to strengthen administrative sanctions.
Furthermore, while previously only criminal punishment details were notified in advance during investigations by the provincial special judicial police unit, from now on, both criminal punishment and administrative sanctions will be notified simultaneously in advance, and violations will be strictly punished.

In Chi-kwon, head of the provincial special judicial police unit, said, "Since the 7th local government administration, we have greatly expanded investigations by the special judicial police to prevent illegal and fraudulent acts from taking root in Gyeonggi Province, but public livelihood crimes have not yet been eradicated. For public livelihood crimes closely related to residents' lives, we will strive to eradicate them through strong administrative sanctions, and alongside focused investigations, we will also make efforts in prevention such as education for related businesses and workers, and expanding the advance notice system for investigations," he emphasized.
