WEST LAFAYETTE â A partnership between Purdue University and some top law enforcement agencies in South Korea is leading to lasting changes for the handling of domestic violence calls in South Korea. It also has led to a top honor for a law enforcement leader.
Eric Dietz, a professor of computer and information technology in the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, began the partnership when he was working to create opportunities for graduate students to study law enforcement policies in South Korea.
The superintendent of South Korean police, Hyun Gun Song, came to Greater Lafayette last year to research the local law enforcement response to domestic violence. He rode along with officers and deputies to see how they respond to domestic violence and other calls.
