Original title: South Korea saw a surge in Internet drug-related personnel last year
[micro special draft of Xinhua News Agency] according to the police data released by South Korean parliamentarians to the media on the 15th, there was a surge in Internet drug-related personnel in South Korea last year, and more and more young people aged 10 or 20 have been involved in Internet drugs in recent years.
According to the data from the South Korean National Police Agency, the police arrested more than 12200 drug-related personnel last year, an increase of about 38% over 2016. Among them, 2608 people were involved in drugs through the Internet, an increase of about 24% over the previous year, about 2.3 times that in 2016. This means that the proportion of Internet drug-related personnel arrested by the police has increased significantly in recent years, from 12.7% in 2016 to 21.4% last year.
It is worth noting that the number of drug-related personnel aged 10 or 20 has increased sharply in recent years. Among them, the number of people under the age of 20 increased from 81 in 2016 to 241 last year, nearly tripling; The number of people in their 20s increased from more than 1300 in 2016 to more than 3200 last year.
Yonhap quoted police data as saying that among the drug-related personnel arrested by the police in recent years, the proportion of first offenders increased year by year, reaching 78.5% last year. The police believe that the main reason is that young people are more likely to buy drugs through the Internet. The survey shows that the Internet is the main way for most first-time drug offenders to contact drugs.
Park Wanzhu, a Democratic congressman who disclosed relevant data, said that in view of the fact that the investigation of online drug transactions is more difficult than offline drug transactions, it is necessary to formulate corresponding policies. (end) (Wang Xinfang)
