[정치]After being freed from a vicious criminal, re-containment is promoted … “Can’t apply for Cho Doo soon”

[앵커]

Prior to the release of child sex offender Jo Doo-soon, voices were raised to create the so-called ‘Cho Doo-soon Containment Act’, which will be quarantined for an additional period of time even if a violent criminal is released. .

The ruling government party is pushing ahead with a plan to re-isolate violent criminals who have served time in a shelter for up to 10 years.

Jo Doo-soon, a child sex offender who is about to be released on the 12th of next month.

Although the government is inspecting security facilities and preparing for a drill training, the concerns do not go away easily.

[조두순 사건 피해자 아버지 : (출소) 전에 가려고 준비하고 있어요. 나온 뒤에 이사 간다는 거는 의미가 없잖아요.] [김사랑 / 경기도 안산시 고잔동 : (조두순) 아내 집이 뭐 어디 있는지 정확하게 알려진 것도 없고 다 추측성만 나오고 있는 상태예요. 학교 친구들이랑 있을 때도 그런 얘기가 한 번씩은 꼭 오고 가는 것 같아요.]

As concerns about the second offense mounted, the mayor of Ansan directly filed a public petition requesting the enactment of the so-called ‘Cho Doo-soon Containment Act’, and more than 110,000 people agreed.

The ruling governing party, which had been cautious due to its unconstitutionality, changed its position and began preparing related laws in earnest.

[추미애 / 법무부 장관 : 최근 조두순의 출소를 앞두고 흉악 범죄자들에 대해 강력한 재범 방지 대책을 요구하는 국민의 목소리가 높아지고 있습니다. 이에 법무부는 치료의 필요성이 높은 흉악범죄자들에 대해 회복적 사법 처우의 일환으로….]

The key is to establish a legal basis for quarantine in a shelter for up to 10 years, even after release, if a murderer, child sex offender, or criminal who has been sentenced to prison for more than 5 years is considered years is very likely to relapse due to alcoholism.

However, it cannot be applied to Doo-Soon Cho.

This is because retroactive application of offenders who have already served their sentence may be unconstitutional.

[한정애 / 더불어민주당 정책위의장 : 소급적용을 할 수 없어서 문제가 되는 이런 (조두순 같은) 사람들에 대한 일종의 관리, 제도 개선도 지금 법사위에 법안들이 몇 개 올라와 있는 게 있어서 그런 것들도 함께 적극적으로 논의하기로 했습니다.]

In the past, there was a social protection law that required violent offenders who were at risk of recidivism to be given custody after serving their sentence.

However, it was abolished in 2005 due to controversy over double punishment and human rights violations.

Furthermore, similar legislation proposed in the 19th and 20th generations could not cross the threshold of the National Assembly for the same reason, so this time a similar controversy could be repeated.

But this time, the situation has changed a lot with the release of Cho Doo-soon.

Even if related laws are promoted, efforts are needed to eliminate unconstitutional elements such as human rights violations as much as possible.
