Jeonnam Police Focused Crackdown on 'Everyday Life Surrounding Violence'
Violence in Everyday Life Surroundings: Streets, Public Transportation, Restaurants, and Violations of Quarantine Rules
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency announced on the 27th that it will conduct a focused crackdown on chronic 'everyday life surrounding violent crimes' that threaten the peaceful daily lives and public order of the people during the year-end and New Year period, causing anxiety and inconvenience.
The focused crackdown will be carried out for two weeks from the 27th of this month until January 7th of next year.
The targets of the crackdown include repetitive and chronic ▲violent acts in public places such as streets, shops, and public transportation ▲violent acts violating COVID-19 quarantine rules ▲violent acts against public officials at government offices and official duty sites ▲violence within closed groups such as workplaces, universities, sports circles, facilities for the disabled, and hospitals.
Regarding this focused crackdown, the police will consider reducing criminal penalties for minor offenses committed by reporters, taking into account all circumstances, to actively encourage reporting, and will take various measures to prevent the exposure of reporters' identities.
A police official stated, "For cases involving the use of weapons or causing serious damage, habitual crimes targeting socially vulnerable groups such as women and children or unspecified many, we plan to respond strictly by imposing criminal penalties equivalent to those for serious crimes."
