Since 1945, U.S. soldiers committed over 100,000 crimes against South Korean civilians. Between 1993 and April 2000, these crimes averaged 820 incidents per year or 2 to 3 incidents per day. Yet, the South Korean government has only been able to bring to trial 20 or 3.56% of the 562 crimes committed in 1999 alone. Under SOFA, the South Korean government is unable to take appropriate legal action when U.S. military personnel commit crimes against South Koreans, including investigate, bring to trial, prosecute, and have the perpetrator serve time in South Korea. Moreover, the U.S. military is not obliged to take any legal actions, thus U.S. soldiers are able to commit crimes against South Korean citizens without fear of legal or military reprisals
