According to a police report, only 1.9 percent of the approximately 4,400 people accused of dating abuse in the first four months of this year were formally arrested. The report, based on data from the Korean National Police Agency, revealed that out of 25,967 allegations of dating violence reported to the police from January to April, 4,395 suspects were questioned, with 82 of them being arrested. The cases involved various forms of abuse, including physical assault, imprisonment, threats, and sexual violence, as well as minor offenses. The data also indicated a steady increase in the number of dating abuse allegations in South Korea over the past three years. Despite this rise, the arrest rate remains low, with police officials attributing it to victims' reluctance to press charges. In response to these findings, People Power Party Rep. Kim Mi-ae has urged law enforcement to implement effective preventive and emergency measures to address dating abuse and prevent it from escalating into more serious crimes. In summary, the report highlights the low arrest rate for dating abuse suspects in South Korea, despite a growing number of allegations. It also underscores the need for law enforcement to take proactive steps to address and prevent dating abuse.
