  • Purpose: Recently, crimes caused by stalking crimes have become a social issue. Following the "Stalking Response Manual", we would like to examine measures and problems to protect victims, and to examine the necessity of private expenses as a supplementary alternative. Method: The victim protection measures of stalking crimes and the police's 'stalking response manual' were identified, and problems and the necessity of private expenses were analyzed. Result: The number of people in charge of the police is 398 per person, and the police alone have limitations in protecting stalking victims. It is necessary to find ways to actively utilize the parts that cannot be solved only by the police while cooperating by entrusting them to private expenses. Conclusion: With the enactment of the Stalking Punishment Act in 2021, measures to protect victims were stipulated in the stalking response manual, but there are limitations in protecting victims due to various problems. Therefore, it is necessary to study ways to protect victims using private expenses.

  • A stalking is becoming more diverse and the methods are developing over time as the society has changed over time due to the advancement of information technology but an initial countermeasure seems to be difficult as there is no sufficient legislations against such crimes as stalking. Our country passed laws regulating such stalking at 1999 and four more additional bills were proposed until the 18th National Assembly but they failed to become legalized. Two more additional bills were proposed during 19th National Assembly which are still pending. Crimes such as stalking violates and invades physical and psychological freedom of the victims and the crimes are severely inveterate and intentional. Advanced countries such as the United States, the Great Britain, Germany, and Japan enacted legislations that strictly regulates stalking and also appropriate responses. As these exemplary cases show, it is essential that our country also requires an effective legislations against crime of stalking and protecting a victim of the crime.
