[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] The Jungbu Police Station in Seoul announced on the 27th that it has launched crime prevention activities in collaboration with Dongguk University and Soongui Women's University to prevent crimes on campus.

On the 25th, Kim Mira, head of the Women and Youth Division at Jungbu Police Station, gave a special lecture at Soongui Women's University titled "Understanding Date Violence, Stalking Crime Prevention, and Sexual Self-Determination Rights." On the same day, at the promotional booth of the "2022 Soongui Women's University Career and Employment Fair," the Women and Youth Division's stalking and sexual violence officers provided crime victim counseling to students and distributed crime prevention materials, including stalking crime prevention brochures and illegal filming detection films. Additionally, in cooperation with Soongui Women's University, they produced a card news piece on the "Sex Offender Personal Information Registration System," which is posted on social networking services (SNS) frequently accessed by university students, continuing online promotional activities.

On the 22nd of last month, Jungbu Police Station conducted "Sexual Violence, Domestic Violence, and Workplace Sexual Harassment Prevention Education" for about 200 professors and staff members of Dongguk University. Furthermore, on the same day, they also served as a guest lecturer for the Crime Prevention Theory course in the Department of Future Convergence Security at Dongguk University's College of Future Convergence, delivering a lecture titled "Understanding and Prevention Strategies of Stalking and Sexual Violence."

They are also inspecting factors that may cause public safety concerns. On the 6th of last month, Jungbu Police Station formed a "Joint Inspection Team" with the Dongguk University Student Council to check for hazards and the presence of illegal cameras in campus public restrooms. They also provided training on how to use illegal filming camera detection equipment so that the university can conduct inspections independently in the future. On this day as well, Jungbu Police Station plans to patrol Dongguk University campus and nearby one-room apartment areas together with the Seoul Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee, Jung-gu Office, and Dongguk University Campus Police.

Kang Soon-bo, chief of Jungbu Police Station, stated, "With the recent easing of social distancing measures due to COVID-19, crimes on university campuses are increasing," adding, "We will continue to conduct education and promotional activities with local universities to reduce the incidence of sexual violence crimes in the mid to long term."
