President Lee Jae Myung called for a major transition toward a system designed for the early detection of signals in violent crimes during a pan-government meeting on Friday. According to Yonhap News, the president urged officials to devise a crime prevention system to identify warning signs in advance to ensure a "supersafe" society. Lee stated that response measures should be prepared with the determination to wage war against violent crimes.
The call for proactive prevention follows a series of violent incidents, including a stabbing spree at a building in Incheon last week that left several people injured and one person in cardiac arrest. Yonhap News also reported a suspected arson in southern Seoul that injured 19 people, and a case where a man was apprehended after allegedly stabbing his mother-in-law to death and kidnapping his estranged wife. KBS World Radio noted that Lee emphasized the need for this transition to protect public lives.
