College Students Take Part in Stalking and Dating Violence Prevention Efforts...38 Participants, Including Police University Students

[Financial News] Students from the Korean National Police University and universities in Asan are joining forces to prevent everyday crimes such as stalking, dating violence and voice phishing.
The Korean National Police University held a launch ceremony on the 4th for the 'Asan University Student Crime Prevention Supporters,' involving KNPU students and local university students, the university said on the 6th.
A total of 38 people will participate in the supporters' group. KNPU students and trainees recruited through the open recruitment process for police lieutenants will take part alongside students from Soonchunhyang University (SCH) and U1 University.
From this month through December, they will visit local events and university festivals to conduct crime-prevention activities. They will inform university students and local residents about prevention guidelines for relationship-based crimes and voice phishing, while also promoting practical ways to prevent crime in everyday life.
The supporters' group was established to enable college students to participate directly in local crime-prevention activities as public concern grows over crimes closely connected to everyday life, including stalking, dating violence, drug crimes and voice phishing. Through the initiative, KNPU plans to deepen students' understanding of community policing, help spread a culture of safety throughout the local community and contribute to building a cooperative network among universities.
Lee Seong-min, a fourth-year KNPU student and representative of the supporters' group, said, "I believe a safe community begins not with grand changes but with the small act of paying attention to the people around us." He added, "Through our activities, we will identify the changes our community needs from the perspective of KNPU students and put them into practice ourselves."
Kim Ki-jong, acting president of the Korean National Police University, said, "I expect this to be a meaningful opportunity for KNPU students and local university students to participate together in crime-prevention activities, reflect on community safety and communicate with one another." He emphasized, "We will continue to expand crime-prevention activities led by college students through cooperation with local universities."
