rikoksiin

Rikoksiin is a Finnish noun form derived from the word rikos, meaning crime. It is the illative case form used to express movement toward or involvement in crimes, and it is most commonly found in formal or legal language rather than everyday speech.

In usage, rikoksiin appears in phrases that describe participation in or relation to criminal activity. It is typically used with verbs and constructions that require an illative or direction-related meaning, such as expressions referring to engaging in crime, being involved in crimes, or discussing crimes in a general sense. Examples of common collocations include rikoksiin liittyvät tapahtumat and osallisuus rikoksiin, which address crime-related events or participation in crime. The form is also seen in discussions of crime statistics, policy, and academic analyses of criminal behavior.

Etymologically, rikoksiin is formed from the noun rikos with the illative case suffix, reflecting Finnish inflection patterns that express direction toward or involvement with a concept. The form emphasizes the relation to multiple crimes or to the concept of crime as a domain, rather than a single act, depending on the surrounding grammatical context.
