Lee Declares War on Violent Crime, Urges Preemptive Action
President Lee Jae Myung has called on his government to declare war on violent crime and adopt proactive steps to prevent violence before it occurs, presiding over a pan-government meeting on Friday, according to KBS World. He urged proactive efforts to prevent violent crimes to build a 'supersafe' society, following a series of violent crimes targeting random victims or family members, as reported by the Korea Times and Yonhap. The president also stressed the need for 'aggressive' police reform to address wrongful practices and systems, and for a system to independently vet police investigations, per Yonhap. Separately, Yonhap reported that police sought an arrest warrant for a woman accused of killing her own mother on the same day. Meanwhile, Gallup Korea polls show Lee's approval rating rose to 40 percent for the first time since early September, as noted by the Korea Times and Yonhap.
