[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Jo] The National Police Agency announced on the 3rd that it will implement measures to prevent sex crimes this month as schools at all levels have started the new semester. These measures, autonomously implemented by each city and provincial police agency, are part of proactive sex crime prevention activities in response to the new school term, including ▲ safety activities around schools ▲ sex violence prevention education and publicity ▲ victim protection and support systems.


The police will first inspect and improve security vulnerabilities around schools. Specifically, they plan to verify the residences of registered offenders near schools and private academies and select crime-prone areas. They will also check for security risks and work on environmental improvements. Regarding university sex violence cases, they will collaborate with universities to conduct joint patrols and inspect for illegal cameras.


Special sex crime prevention education and online publicity will also be enhanced. Alongside the activities of School Police Officers (SPO), they will provide focused education on various types of sex crimes and reporting methods. Using various platforms such as YouTube, social media, and public transportation announcements, they will also provide information on types of sex crimes and reporting channels.



The protection and support system for sex violence victims will be reorganized. Efforts will be made to guarantee rights by providing information on victim protection and support systems and preventing secondary damage. Collaboration with related organizations such as sex violence counseling centers and victim protection facilities will be strengthened. The police plan to discover and share excellent field cases tailored to the situations of each city and provincial police agency and provide awards in the future.
