Not to be PATRIOTIC or ultra-🦅 but one thing I do think other countries could model after the US is the defamation and libel laws and how transparent most crime records are. Like, being able to release booking pictures of people is so useful alongside required registries and open court documents. Being able to write pieces exposing people without the fear of a good defamation case has been an instrumental part of journalism since it’s inception. Eastern Asia particularly struggles with things like that. Japan in particular has really messed up sentencing guidelines for journalism exposing anyone (even if you do something bad and someone writes about your wrongdoing with 100% proof you can still get sued). Korea’s laws protecting SA’ers (not releasing their identity as a norm) and giving relaxed punishment to child offenders cultivate such toxic environments, especially for women. I think Korea rn is in their early version of the #MeToo movement that happened in 2016-2020 in other parts of the world, in large part because of the Burning Sun scandal, so I hope this leads to the legislative changes necessary to identify culprits and protect victims. I genuinely feel bad for women all around the world (especially since that m*rder of the medical trainee in India recently) and am scared for my own safety because I’m a woman. There has been one good thing though recently, and that is the increased presence of vigilante groups who work on identifying offenders on their own outside of police or the courts. Not too long ago someone from an infamous R*pe case in Miryang Park was identified and more and more identities of people from the most historic SA cases in Korea have been released by hackers.
