In today’s world, society loathes sex offenders more than almost all other criminals: people fear personal crimes such as rape, assault, and robbery more than other crimes; parents indoctrinate their children with stranger danger rhetoric; the public demonizes pedophiles; and fellow prison inmates view sex offenders as the personification of evil.
Laws regulating sex offenders evidence this public enmity. The United States and eight other nations have implemented sex offender registries in order to track and deter these criminals.
Currently, the United States and South Korea are the only nations in the world that allow public access to sex offenders’ personal information via public notification laws, and the United States is alone in its implementation of sex offender residency restrictions.
The high rate of recidivism for sex offenders poses a difficult problem for the criminal justice system and leaves it searching for creative sentencing alternatives. In this context, it is needed to explore new measures such as sex offender registration law, sex offender public notification law, GPS Electronic Monitoring ACT for Specific Sex Offenders and chemical castration act.
Children and young boys and girls sex protection law recently amended releases through the Internet detailed information of sexual offenders (name, age, physical characteristics, photo, address) unlike the past releasing method. Now anyone can with the verification of adult in the Internet confirm the identities of sexual offenders against children and young boys and girls.
Recently, the Korean Ministry of Justice attempted to apply the program widely in order to provide an immediate response to the demands of the public and stakeholder for punitive sanctions toward sexual criminals. However, there is a paucity of studies regrading the effectiveness of the GPS electronic monitoring supervision in South Korea. In this context, this study aims to explore the specific conditions that may affect the defiance of GPS electronic monitoring for sex offenders.
The Korean law on castration was enacted in 2010 and it will go into effect beginning July .
Under the Korean law, permission for castration is granted for three types. When the judge hand down a sentence to sex offenders, agreement of the accused is ‘not’ necessary. Korean law allow involuntary castration.
Surely we need to respect various constitutional principles and rules for not excessively depriving the fundamental rights of the criminals. The government should also try to give much safer options for them and invest many resources for solving their psychopathic problems.
