On the 27th, the Western Seoul Police Station announced that it will collaborate with Eunpyeong Hospital to provide medical support for crime victims and perpetrators, aiming for rapid recovery from crime damage and prevention of recidivism through behavioral correction of offenders.

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] The Seoul Western Police Station (Chief Kim Seonkwon) announced on the 27th that it will collaborate with Eunpyeong Hospital to provide medical support for crime victims and perpetrators in order to facilitate rapid recovery from crime damage and prevent recidivism through correction of perpetrator behavior.

Eunpyeong Hospital will allocate a separate public health medical project budget to support medical personnel and treatment costs, while the police will handle the selection of treatment candidates, accompany them to the hospital, and monitor them for follow-up care. The support targets include victims and perpetrators related to crimes against socially vulnerable groups such as domestic violence, child abuse, stalking, and dating violence.

Chief Kim stated, “In crimes with repetitive and continuous tendencies such as stalking, providing support not only to victims but also counseling and treatment for perpetrators can effectively reduce the actual recidivism rate,” adding, “It is meaningful to establish a system where local residents can receive psychiatric examinations, counseling, and treatment all in one place.”
