Gimhae Attorney | The Gimhae Attorney Who Assisted a Student Accused as a Perpetrator Summoned Before the School Violence Committee and Obtained a No-Suspicion Disposition

As with the Gimhae attorney's case, if one is identified as a 🔗perpetrator student before the school violence committee, one may receive one of the following dispositions.

1. A written apology to the victim student

2. A prohibition on contact, threats, and retaliation (including acts using an information and communications network) against the victim student and any reporting or accusing students

3. Service within the school

4. Community service

5. Special education or psychological counseling by an in-school or external expert or an institution designated by the superintendent of education

6. Suspension of attendance

7. Transfer to another class

8. Transfer to another school

9. Expulsion (excluding perpetrator students who are in the compulsory education process)

If the Gimhae attorney's client were to receive a disposition of level 4 or higher, a record would remain on his school record, and because it would be difficult to delete until graduation, it could have a significant effect on his future.

The Gimhae attorney's client said that one day he entered the classroom and found the victim student playing with another friend.

As soon as the victim student saw the client, he said let us play a fun game and made a gesture of swinging a knife at the client. In response, the client playfully made a gesture of stepping on his back and a gesture of kicking his leg.

The client never directly made physical contact with the victim student or assaulted him at all.

Examining the Gimhae attorney's client's case according to the criteria of the school violence committee would be as follows.

1. Severity

The client merely played and joked around with the victim student, and there was no severity.

2. Persistence

The Gimhae attorney's client merely joked around in that way for a single day, and there is no likelihood that such a thing would persist.

3. Intentionality

Under the circumstances it is difficult to find that there was intent to commit school violence, and because he did not actually assault anyone, it can be said that there was no intentionality either.

4. Degree of Remorse

Although the Gimhae attorney's client did not directly assault anyone, he is repentant about having made such a gesture.

5. Degree of Reconciliation

Once the facts are established, the client will apologize and will be able to get along amicably with the victim student.
