South Korea Launches App That Lets Victims Track High-Risk Stalkers | Spotlight

11 July 2026, 12:15 AM IST

South Korea has launched 'Stalker Location Notification', a new government app that allows eligible victims to monitor the real-time location of high-risk stalkers wearing court-ordered electronic ankle monitors. The app sends instant alerts, displays the offender's live location and movement, and is directly linked to police emergency systems for faster response. Introduced after a high-profile stalking murder exposed gaps in victim protection, the app aims to give victims more time to reach safety. However, it only applies to offenders placed under electronic monitoring by the courts. Daniela Laurel brings you the details on Spotlight.
