Regarding the introduction of the ``Japanese version of DBS,'' a system to confirm that people working in jobs that involve working with children do not have a history of sexual offenses, the government has decided to increase the period for inquiring criminal records to 20 days after the end of the sentence in cases of imprisonment or more. We are making adjustments in the direction of year, etc.
Regarding the ``Japanese version of DBS,'' the government is aiming to submit the necessary bill to the current Diet session for its introduction, and is continuing to consider the specific details.
Among these, the period for inquiring sexual criminal records will be 20 years after the end of the sentence for cases of imprisonment or higher, and
10 years after execution for cases of fines or less, taking into account
past recidivism and other factors.
Adjusting.
In addition, the sexual crime records subject to inquiries will not be limited to criminal offenses, but will also include ordinance violations such as voyeurism, and the policy is to include not only newly hired employees but also existing employees.
We are considering establishing guidelines that would require employees to be transferred to a department that does not work with children if they have a criminal record, and in some cases even allow them to be fired.
In order to ensure effectiveness, schools, daycare centers, etc. will be required to inquire about sexual offense records, and facilities such as cram schools and sports clubs will also be required to make it clear to users whether they are operating in accordance with the system. The idea is to establish a certification system.
Based on these contents, the government will soon compile an outline of the bill and proceed with coordination with the ruling parties and other parties.
