AB - Even though numerous special statutes imposing heavy punishments for the inhumane crimes such as sex offences against children have been enacted, people have been frustrated with the weakness of social security in South Korea. Heavier punishment, chemical castration, or reenactment of death penalty cannot be the solution. Besides the expansion of crime prevention nets including CCTV, child welfare institutions, effective medical treatment, and specialized rehabilitation programs, the introduction of a limited form of the “Good Samaritan Law” is required in Korea's current situation.
Considering the Korean traditional communitarian culture and sentiment, the “Good Samaritan Law” will be generally approved by the people. In the Korean Criminal Code, an article that requires notification of authorities or available aid to rescue other people in emergencies should be added for a deterrent effect. Also, the Good Samaritans should be given immunity for his or her assistance of others in peril without any compensation or duty to rescue. However, if it takes much time to get citizens' support for this law, a more limited form of this law imposing just duty to inform authorities is required in Korean Criminal Code or in other special statutes such as Korean “Sex Offences Against Children Act”.
