Jeonnam Autonomous Police to Strengthen Customized Protection and Support for Crime Victims

Mokpo City Pilot Operation of 'Integrated Support Network'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Provincial Autonomous Police Committee is stepping up integrated support for crime victims, strengthening tailored protection and assistance for victims of domestic violence, school violence, digital sex crimes, and other offenses.

Jeonnam Autonomous Police announced on the 7th that starting from the 8th, they will begin a pilot operation of the 'Integrated Support Network for Crime Victims' in Mokpo.

The Integrated Support Network for Crime Victims is a map-style system designed to provide an at-a-glance overview of the support targets and services offered by related organizations assisting victims of crimes such as sexual violence and domestic violence.

Until now, the lack of integrated data from local related organizations made it difficult to provide thorough support to victims.

Going forward, it will be possible to immediately access the support details and contact information of support institutions suited to the Jeonnam region, enabling victims to receive prompt and accurate guidance.

In particular, through active communication with affiliated organizations, comprehensive support including legal consultation, protection in shelters, trial assistance, and financial aid will be possible, which is expected to protect victims from secondary harm.

For example, domestic violence victims will receive comprehensive support guidance such as ▲ free legal consultation from Legal Home Doctor ▲ counseling and temporary shelter separation at the 1366 Women’s Counseling Center ▲ counseling and therapy at the Regional Women’s Counseling Center ▲ litigation support from the Korea Legal Aid Corporation ▲ essential goods support from the Food Market ▲ psychological and career counseling for victims’ children at the Youth Counseling and Welfare Center ▲ and selection for basic living subsidies from local governments.

Based on the pilot operation results in Mokpo until April, improvements will be reflected and the program is planned to be expanded throughout Jeonnam in the second half of the year.

A representative of the Jeonnam Provincial Autonomous Police Committee said, “While prevention is the top priority for all crimes, the daily recovery of residents who have suffered crime damage must not be overlooked,” adding, “We will also enhance the civil-government-police integrated solution meetings by utilizing support cases through the network.”
