The security of South Korea
The security of the Republic of Korea is at a high level worldwide. The murder rate is 0.6 per 100,000 people, ranking at the top of the OECD. High-quality police forces, numerous CCTVs and black boxes everywhere have a synergistic effect, and in remote places, it is difficult to commit crimes because police cars are frequently patrolled or military units are adjacent. In particular, CCTV control centers are operated by local governments (metropolitan and basic governments) to monitor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to prevent crime, prevent crime, and maintain security. In addition, it updates the basic citizenship, occurrence, and progress of events that are generally planted in the public in real time, and helps the level of an Internet network with well-established SNS that can be shared by many people.
There is no way for the general public to get gunbirds except for hunting and leisure purposes, and those who own them should usually keep them at the police station, and the qualification requirements are also very strict. The reason why U.S. police become extremely sensitive when dealing with criminal suspects is because of the reality of their own country that can be saved if they want to. There are a lot of countries that don’t even think about going out at night even if they don’t go to the slums, but there are few places like this in Korea, and the police patrol a lot in relatively dangerous places. It is ironic that most adult men know how to handle firearms because the military is conscription system even though it is rare to encounter firearms.
Geographically, it is difficult for criminals to escape because it is a relatively small land area, which is about half of the UK, and three sides are sea, and the north is blocked, so it is practically an island. The entire nation is aware that if there is a dispute and assault comes and goes, they may be arrested, and if they touch other people’s things, they may be investigated for theft or embezzlement of possession. In addition, fines and sentences are strong among countries that employ continental law, and there are differences between countries and regions, but light disputes and fist fights between men are common in Korea, and there is no reconciliation or agreement after the police are dispatched. And most people are well aware of this.
There are also gangsters, but they are strongly controlled by strict violence laws and regular police crackdowns. However, there are also gangsters who are active in various blind spots of the law.
Meanwhile, there are many concerns that security may have fallen to the abyss due to the multiple knife riots in Korea in 2023, but if it had really fallen to the abyss, this incident itself would not have been seen not only in news or newspapers but also in places such as Namuwiki. When you go to a country with really bad security, this is not only daily life, but you also walk with more guns or homemade bombs.
Although it did not fall into the abyss, a series of incidents occurred to the extent that citizens felt anxious, and even though the police strengthened patrols by designating a special security period, the need for security was raised.
