The creation of an electronic Unified register of persons convicted of crimes against children on a sexual basis means an important step in the direction of ensuring the safety of children and combating sexual violence. This register can become an effective tool for law enforcement agencies and other authorized structures to identify potential threats to children and take appropriate security measures.
The formation of this register reflects the growing attention to the problem of sexual violence against children and emphasizes the obligation of the authorities to fight these crimes and protect the rights of the most vulnerable members of society.
Ukraine does have legislation that provides for the creation and maintenance of a register of persons convicted of crimes against children on a sexual basis.
Such legislative changes are an important step in ensuring the safety of children and preventing sexual violence. Providing access to the register of persons convicted of crimes against children to certain categories of persons, such as directors of schools and kindergartens, heads of state administrations and heads of local self-government bodies, can contribute to the early detection of potential threats and the adoption of necessary security measures.
The registry is an important tool for ensuring the safety of children and public safety in general, and helps in the fight against sexual violence.
This can help ensure the safety of children not only in educational institutions, but also in the entire community, as these individuals have the ability to monitor the presence of individuals with a criminal history against children in their neighborhoods or institutions. The information stored in the register includes key personal details of convicted persons, as well as a description of the crime for which they were convicted. This allows law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders to effectively use this information to prevent new crimes and take necessary security measures.
The protection of personal data and ensuring the confidentiality of the information in this register are very important, because the misuse of this data can lead to the violation of the rights of individuals and create problems for society as a whole.
In Ukraine, information about persons who have a criminal record for crimes against children on a sexual basis may remain in the registry after the criminal record has been expunged. This may be done to preserve criminal history and information about individuals who may be a potential danger to children and public safety.
After the criminal record is expunged, the individual's information may remain on the registry as a tool for use by law enforcement agencies and other authorized persons to protect the safety of children and public safety. However, it is important to note that legislation and regulations regarding the processing and retention of information may determine how this information may be used and access to it regulated.
In any case, it is important to ensure that access to this information is limited and controlled, and to protect the rights and privacy of individuals whose data is stored in the registry. This will help maintain a balance between protecting public safety and the right to privacy.
Individual information searching in open-data should be carried out in accordance with legislation and taking into account the rights and privacy of individuals.
