Starting from the 13th, provincial website to provide statistics on 20 crime categories including food and environment crimes by region, year, and month
[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] The Gyeonggi Province Special Judicial Police Unit announced on the 12th that starting from the 13th, it will be the first in the nation to disclose public-oriented crime statistics including food, environment, tourism, and real estate crimes to residents through the provincial website.
This statistical data covers the occurrences of public-oriented crimes that occurred in the province from 2012 to 2019 by ▲region ▲month ▲year, compiled based on data collected through investigative activities conducted by the Special Judicial Police Unit over the past 8 years. The data will be provided to residents in an easy-to-understand format with statistical tables and image materials.
Looking at the 'regional occurrence status' among the statistical data, illegal river occupation and related crimes occurred in areas with many valleys and streams, while in areas with many industrial facilities such as factories, crimes such as unreported atmospheric emission facilities and unauthorized sewage discharge occurred frequently.
It was found that real estate crimes such as illegal transfers of apartment sales rights occurred most frequently in areas where apartment construction and sales were most active last year, and environmental crimes including atmospheric pollution increased by up to 72% during spring and autumn when fine dust concentrations are high. From June to August, food-related crimes such as food spoilage showed an average increase of 64%.
These results are analyzed as being due to the fact that the occurrence of public-oriented crimes is affected by regional and seasonal characteristics.
Looking at the trend of crime occurrences by year, the number of environmental crimes decreased by half during the 2 years following 2015, when 516 environmental crimes were detected, and public health-related crimes continued to decrease from 106 cases (2015) to 51 cases (2016) during the 2 years following 2014 (156 cases) when such crimes occurred frequently. This is interpreted as a result of the Special Judicial Police Unit's investigative activities substantially deterring public-oriented crimes.
In Chi-kwon, the Head of the Gyeonggi Province Special Judicial Police Unit, stated "Starting this year, we will collect more diverse and detailed statistics using customized statistical source materials for the Special Judicial Police Unit" and "In March of next year, we plan to disclose 10 types of crime statistics including the age of perpetrators, motives for crimes, and occupational groups to residents."
