 Amid the public’s wrath over a serial killer’s brutality, a growing number of people are raising their voices to revive the death penalty and establish a law to reveal felons’ personal information including their faces. The recent disclosure of Kang Ho-soon’s face is stirring intensive controversies over criminals’ human rights versus the public’s rights to know and to be protected.As the brutal serial murderer Kang’s crimes were revealed, the whole country was shocked by his inhumanity. He admitted to killing seven innocent women over the past two years. Considering the nature of the crime, the police decided to disclose his face and personal information. On February 2, the police said they will start working on legislating a law to disclose the personal information of brutal criminals to the public to a certain extent. Currently, no laws offer a specific basis for the police to determine which criminals may be disclosed to the public.  “We will work on a bill regulating the disclosure range of a criminal’s face and personal information with the prosecution and the court,” said a National Police Agency경찰청 official. “Serial killers and infanticides are the primary subjects of this provisional bill.”Hundreds of thousands of people are welcoming the new law, claiming that the faces of such cruel criminals should be shown to the public in order to prevent further crimes. “Our government has to make a law that allows the publication of the personal information of brutal criminals to protect us,” said Nam Young-min, a 34-year-old citizen from Seoul.  On the other hand, some civic groups oppose the law, saying that our society should protect the basic rights of criminals whose information need not to be opened to the public. “Based on the recommended policies from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)국가인권위원회, we cannot actively reveal the criminal’s face,” said Lee Myung-gyun, who heads the police probe into Kang’s murders, soon after his photo was made public by the media.The photos of Kang Ho-soon were published in many newspapers and broadcasting stations. Kang, a father of three children, was reportedly shocked by the news. Not onl y his photos but also his sons’ names and information are spreading on the Internet rapidly, threatening the children’s safety. According to police officials, the provisional revision bill is expected to end the debate on the lawfulness of felon information disclosure. |

1. I think that the criminal's face should definitely be revealed. Although I can understand the criminal's view
about his son (I hope everybody who reads this knows about what he said about his son), it's my opinion
that everybody should have a right to see the criminal's face. When I lived in America, I'm sure that they
revealed criminals' faces to the public. And, personally, I was rather curious when they said that Kang
Ho-soon was handsome, or whatever. hahaha
2. Because of the fact that I'm just a junior high schooler, I'm not sure about what kinds of punishments
there are. But I'm pretty sure that fees are not going to help. Criminals aren't gonna repent anything if all
they have to do is give money to the government or wherever the money goes. (I'm sorry about the
'wherever'. I told you that I'm a junior high schooler. I don't know specifically where the money goes.)
Anyway, I think that fees do NOT cover the sins of the criminal.
I hope what I wrote was a 'something' that actually helped.

criminal is him, not his son.
human rights must adapt every body, even though he committed a crime
just my thinking, as you know, is that the respect of human rights is most important in the human's right
so, we must protect his right. don't you think so?
in fact, his familly is victim, too.

PaulyWolly 작성일True, his family is one of the victims. People say that personal rights should be provided and respected under any circumstances. Then, what if a criminal escapes from the cell? How would a person know how the criminal looks?
