[Mobile Reporter Jong-seop Lee] The Women and Youth Department of the Chungbuk Police Agency (Chief Jeong Sang-jin) conducted stalking and dating violence crime prevention training for about 40 college students from the Department of Police Administration at Jungwon University in Goesan on Tuesday, April 16, 2024.
On this day, the training focused on △police stalking response procedures △crime victim support system △main cases △necessity of reporting to prevent violent criminalization in order to increase understanding of stalking and social violence crimes and form a consensus on crime prevention. .
Looking at statistics on stalking 112 reports by year, there is a continuous increasing trend with 229 cases in 2021, 516 cases in 2022, and 666 cases in 2023. In 2024 (as of the first quarter), (146 cases in the first quarter of 2023 → 1st quarter of 2024) 157 cases) increased by 5.3% compared to the previous year.
Representative types include △ broken up romantic relationships △ divorced or separated couples △ neighbors.
This is a ‘relationship crime’ in which it is difficult for the victim to recognize and report the crime, and there is a strong possibility that it will progress from simple stalking to a violent crime.
Chungbuk Police Agency (Women and Youth Department officials) said, “We will continue to do our best to create a safe area from crime by increasing understanding of relationship crimes such as stalking and dating violence through collaboration with educational institutions.”Lee Jong-seop, Mobile Reporter Reporter
