In Korea, starting with the 9th Constitution amendment in 1987, the protection and support system for victims was legislated through the enactment and enforcement of the Crime Victim Protection Act. On the other hand, Article 12 of the Victim Protection Act requires the Minister of Justice to establish a basic plan for victim protection and support every five years in line with the changes of the times. In addition, the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution have established a victim protection system through amendments to various systems and guidelines to protect victims. Currently, the re-prosecution can initiate and proceed with investigations on important crimes stipulated in Article 4 of the Prosecutor's Office Act due to the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Act on January 1, 2021, and the request for victim protection is still valid even at the prosecution stage, as it will be said that it has the authority to review whether the victim protection system has been faithfully conducted in cases sent from the police.
