rikosrekisteristä

Rikosrekisteristä refers to a comprehensive register of individuals convicted of crimes in Finland. Established by law, this register is maintained by the Finnish Population Register Centre under the direction of the Finnish Ministry of Justice.

The primary purpose of Rikosrekisteristä is to provide a central database of individuals convicted of crimes, including their personal details and conviction information. This database is often used by public authorities, employers, and individuals for background checks and to assess the trustworthiness and credibility of individuals.

Information contained in Rikosrekisteristä may include the individual's name, date of birth, address, occupation, crime conviction details, and any related sanctions or restrictions. It also includes a unique identifier for each individual, known as a social security number or personal identity code.

Access to Rikosrekisteristä is generally granted for legitimate reasons, such as employment verification, child protection, or benefiting from Government foster care or other social services. Employers can run background checks to determine a candidate's trustworthiness and employability. Public procurement procedures, which often involve large sums of money, typically require extensive checks on the bidder's reputation.

Data in the Rikosrekisteristä is typically gathered from law enforcement agencies, the courts, and correctional systems. On occasion, courts have ordered that certain individuals' personal details be erased from the Rikosrekisteristä. Exemptions exist when the convicted individuals were minors and had their charges expunged, or in cases of public interest.

Rikosrekisteristä serves as a reference database, providing authorities with up-to-date information for making data-driven decisions.
