Statistics Finland has specified its data protection practices related to statistics on offences and coercive measures. Statistics Finland discontinues the publication of data on offences referred to in Chapters 12 and 13 of the Criminal Code in the statistics on offences and coercive measures starting from the data for the statistical reference year 2023. Data are not removed from releases published prior to 2023. Statistics Finland releases data on the offences referred to in Chapters 12 and 13 of the Criminal Code concerning solved offences in future as well.
The police harmonise their data with that of Statistics Finland in their own statistical releases.
The decision is based on Section 16 of the Statistics Act, which states that Statistics Finland's right to collect data by virtue of the data supply obligation provided for in Sections 14 and 15 does not apply to confidential data relating to international relations, public safety, defence and national security or to confidential official documents as referred to in Section 6, Paragraph 24, Sub-paragraphs 2, 3 and 9 of the Act on the Openness of Government Activities.

Information

Offences known to the authorities (number)

A matter recorded in the police information system as an offence. The offence may have become known to the police, customs or border guard either as a report or in connection with another investigation. The offence is recorded in the statistics for the year in which it becomes known to the authorities. An offence refers to an act for which a punishment is decreed in legislation. The task of the police, customs and border guard is to investigate the offence, conduct a pre-trial investigation and transfer the solved offence to the prosecutor for consideration. In more lenient cases, the offence may be left unreported to the prosecutor on the grounds laid down in law. The statistical unit used is an offence. If several persons have taken part in the same offence together, the number of offences recorded is one. If several similar offences are committed at the same time, several of these offences can be recorded. The offence is recorded based on the municipality where the offence occurred. The offence may also have taken place abroad and a report of it is recorded if the police, customs or border guard have jurisdiction in the matter and the offence has concerned (as a suspect or victim) a Finnish citizen, a person permanently resident in Finland or a Finnish legal person.
