Lee Soo Jung

Lee Soo Jung is a South Korean forensic psychologist, professor at Kyonggi University in Seoul, and part of the country’s first generation of criminal profilers. She has been named part of BBC’s list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2019, in the leadership category. Lee has worked on numerous high-profile murder cases and believes stalking is what leads to more serious crimes. As a result of this, she helped introduce an anti-stalking bill now passed in South Korea. She was previously a member of the Supreme Court’s Sentencing Commission, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s sexual violence task force and the National Police Agency’s reform committee. She has since written seven books, and given advice on the popular Korean TV program Unanswered Questions.
