Abstract

In Korean society, domestic violence has been regarding as one of the "Greatest four evils". Recognition that domestic violence is not a problem in domestic society, but a problem in our society, has been established. But it is absurd that the " counterattack " of victim of domestic violence has not been justified. In the cases of domestic violence, the prosecutor chooses whether the cases are handled and treated as criminal cases or domestic protection cases. After investigation, police can express his opinion. Current act provide that “a judicial police officer shall visit the scene of domestic violence without delay if a domestic violence offense report is received” and “a judicial police officer who responds to a domestic violence offense may visit the reported scene of domestic violence to protect victims or visit relevant places to inspect relevant persons or ask them questions for investigation of such case” and “no domestic violence assailant shall obstruct the duties of a judicial police officer, such as rejecting on-site investigations by the judicial police officer”. A careful approach to police intervention is necessary. The current law provide the concepts and countermeasure of domestic violence. In this article, I reviews of the involvement of the police, and considers a few suggestions for improvement from the victim's perspective.
