After being released, go ahead and upstairs … Cho Doo-soon’s psychology as seen by Professor Soo-Jung Lee

Lee Soo-jeong, a professor in the Department of Crime Psychology at Gyeonggi University, commented on a series of riots over the release of child rape criminal Cho Doo-soon, saying, “The same thing happened today because the protection system in form of security arrangement did not work well.

Cho Doo-soon (68), who was released after serving 12 years in prison on charges of sexual assault on children, will move from the Ansan Compliance Support Center in Gyeonggi-do for administrative proceedings on the morning of the 12th.

Professor Lee suggested: “There is a possibility that dangerous child sex offenders like Cho Doo will soon continue to be released from prison. This incident should seize the opportunity to reduce the burden on the community and introduce additional systems for victims to be feel safer. ”

On the 12th, Professor Lee said in an interview with JTBC that the series of riots was an “anticipated riot.”

Professor Lee said, “I don’t know how safe I feel from my point of view, but personally, I thought it was inappropriate.” I think I enjoy it, of course, so even in the midst of the commotion, it seems like I’m bravely holding on without bowing my head once. ”

Doo-soon Cho’s chance of recidivism was assessed as low.

Professor Lee said: “Since I live with my wife, it seems difficult to commit sex crimes again in a short time. As you can see, there is still the possibility of causing minor problems in the community, so there is a lot of room for disputes with residents and failure to perform public service. It seems to be. ”

In particular, it was predicted that whether or not Cho Doo-soon would drink alcohol would affect whether he would be a second offender.

Professor Lee replied, “Cho Doo soon has a criminal record number 18, but most of it happened while he was drunk,” he said. “If you touch the alcohol again, it can flow in an uncontrollable and serious direction.”

Currently, the prosecution has requested a special request to the court to prohibit Cho Doo-soon from going out late and drinking.

Professor Lee said: “It is very difficult to limit the right to liberty even with 24-hour surveillance,” he said. “In this situation, instead of unconditional sanctions, I think it is the key to instruct Cho Doo-soon to adapt to her daily life and have the will to live properly.” .
