Gwangju Dongbu Police Station Conducts 'Digital Sex Crime' Prevention Education for Youth
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Women and Youth Division of the Gwangju Dongbu Police Station recently announced on the 1st that it conducted a ‘Special Digital Sex Crime Prevention Education’ targeting female middle school students at Chosun University Girls' Middle School.
This education was prepared in response to the serious increase in ‘digital sex crime’ victimization among adolescents using random chat apps due to boredom from prolonged ‘staying at home’ lifestyles amid the resurgence and prolongation of COVID-19.
The prevention education conducted by the School Police Officer (SPO) on site informed students about the dangers of random chatting, where numerous sex crimes occur targeting minors by accessing chat rooms without real-name verification or special registration procedures after entering a nickname, gender, and age. The education focused on types of ‘digital sex crimes’ and coping methods through case studies to prevent exposure to sex crimes.
Additionally, in March, during the online school opening, a non-face-to-face, Un-Tact style ‘digital sex crime’ prevention education was held along with a digital sex crime prevention slogan idea contest. The selected slogans were made into stickers and attached to promotional materials (masks) to raise awareness and alertness about the dangers of digital sex crimes, which were then distributed.

A representative of the Dongbu Police Station stated, “There have been difficulties for school teachers in supervising students’ off-campus activities regarding mobile phone use during the period when students did not attend school due to online learning, raising concerns and issues about adolescents’ exposure to digital sex crimes. This makes education and attention to adolescents more important than ever at this time, and we will strengthen prevention and promotional activities through close and organic cooperation with schools.”
