Protection and acceptance in case of violation of habitual crimes or follow-up measures
Kim Jeong-jae “The victim’s family said they decided to move”
Nayoung’s father “I want to move, but I can’t afford it”
‘Law to strengthen sanctions for stalking’
Lee Soo-jung “Why can’t I hold back even if I live next to the victim after being released?”
The people’s power decided to propose the so-called ‘Cho Doo-soon Prison and Protection Act’ before the planned release in December of Cho Doo-soon, who is in prison for sexual offenses against children. The People’s Forces Special Committee on Countermeasures against Sexual Violence announced that it held a press conference on that day to propose the ‘Cho Doo-soon Protection Law’ and the ‘Law to Enforce Penalty for Talking’. The village power met with the families of the victims who were concerned about Cho Doo-soon’s release from prison and told them the story that they finally decided to move.
Representative Geum-Hee Yang, who initiated the bill, said: “Before Cho Doo-soon’s release, concerns about this, opposition to the release, and public opinion in isolation have increased.” “I want to make an initiative.”
However, even if the law is enacted, it cannot be retroactively applied to Cho Doo-soon. Representative Kim Jeong-jae said, “With an exception clause, if you violate the issues to be observed during the trial period, it is possible to receive protection.”
Representative Kim also told the story of meeting the victims’ families in person while preparing the law. Representative Kim said, “The families of the victims are trembling with fear to learn that Jo Doo-soon is going to return to Ansan after being released from prison,” he said. They asked me to find a way. “
Representative Kim said: “Whenever the family decides to move, they should provide all the support that the state can do. After seeking the current law, in accordance with article 7 of the Crime Victims Protection Act, governments state and local provide housing support to crime victims according to the need for protection or support. There are mandatory regulations that must be made. ” He said: “If the government has enough mind, it can support the housing of crime victims,” he said. “I hope that the government will actively support the stability of family housing in accordance with this law.”
In this regard, however, Na Young-i’s father, A, said in a call with Chosun Ilbo: “If the law does not prevent Jo Doo-soon from coming to Ansan, we must leave” and “I want to move, but not I can afford it. ” He also said: “If you sell the house you live in now and pay off the bank loan, you don’t have much money left, so it is difficult to find a private house.”
Lee Soo-jeong, a professor in the Department of Crime Psychology at Gyeonggi University, who is a member of the special committee, said, “There have been numerous conversations about the need to prepare for Cho Doo-soon’s release, and now I personally regret the part of the legislation. Even if I live in, I can’t hold back? “
The Law on the Strengthening of Penalties for Stalking clearly defines the actions that can be included as offenses of stalking in order to strengthen penalties, prevent secondary harm and establish provisions on protection measures for victims.
The act of stalking is defined as’ an act of approaching, following or blocking the path against the will of the victim without a justifiable reason ‘, or’ an act of placing or damaging objects, etc., either directly or through from a third party ‘. The crime of stalking was defined as “continuous or repeated stalking to provoke anxiety or fear in the victim”. In addition, emergency protection measures were made possible to protect potential victims and criminal sanctions were also made possible for offenders.
