Police Arrest 1,713 People and Detain 47 During July-August 'Date Violence Intensive Reporting Period'
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] The National Police Agency announced on the 6th that it operated a 'Date Violence Intensive Reporting Period' during July and August, resulting in the arrest of 1,713 date violence offenders, of whom 47 were detained.
The types of crimes apprehended were predominantly assault and injury at 70.1%, but arrest, confinement, and threats also accounted for 10.7%. Trespassing made up 10.6%. The age group of offenders was highest in their 20s at 35.5%, followed by those in their 30s (24.5%), 40s (20.0%), and 50s (11.4%).
The police supported 1,850 tailored victim protection measures such as linking to protective facilities, personal security, and enhanced patrols, centered around the date violence eradication TF teams at each police station. In one case, a victim woman fearing retaliation after the release of her ex-boyfriend who was detained received support including identity information change (resident registration number), relocation expenses, and medical treatment costs.
The police plan to encourage active reporting of date violence through continuous promotional activities. In particular, since some victims show reluctance to report due to the special nature of their 'romantic' relationship with the offender, the police will strengthen victim protection and preventive criminal activities such as analyzing reporting history and post-monitoring of victims to build trust and encourage reporting.
