Финляндия

Финляндия регулярно предоставляет БДИПЧ данные о преступлениях на почве ненависти. Финляндия регулярно проводит виктимологические исследования для выявления количества незарегистрированных преступлений на почве ненависти. Финская полиция тесно сотрудничает с Финской лигой прав человека, Финским Красным Крестом и Финской службой поддержки жертв в целях разработки скоординированных мер по борьбе с преступлениями на почве ненависти. Эти организации, наряду с национальной полицией и другими ключевыми органами власти, образуют сеть, которой Министерство юстиции Финляндии поручило отслеживать преступления на почве ненависти в Финляндии и разрабатывать адекватные меры по предотвращению таких преступлений. Финляндия внедрила программу БДИПЧ «Обучение сотрудников правоохранительных органов мерам борьбы с преступлениями на почве ненависти» (ОБПН) в 2017 году и провела обучение более 1000 сотрудников полиции по вопросам преступлений на почве ненависти, а затем включила модули программы по преступлениям на почве ненависти в программы подготовки новых сотрудников полиции и повышения квалификации действующих сотрудников.

About 2018 Data

The police also recorded criminal forms of intolerance other than hate crimes, such as defamation, other hate speech offences and criminal discrimination. These data are reported to ODIHR but are not included in the overall figure or in the breakdown below. Prosecution and sentencing numbers only represent cases flagged by the police as hate crimes.

Hate crime recorded by police

A total of 1,300 hate crimes were originally reported to ODIHR. The number of individual crime reports was 910, as one crime report can include several hate crimes. This number included cases of ethnic agitation, defamation and discrimination, which were removed and are not presented here. With the consent of the Roma community, hate crime against Roma people has been included as a category separate from Racism and Xenophobia.

National developments

The authorities have been implementing the National Action Plan on Fundamental and Human Rights for 2017–2019, which includes projects on hate crimes and hate speech.

The Ministry of the Interior has designed a new Police Preventive Work Strategy, which sets hate crime as a priority. The National Police Board is currently developing an Action Plan to implement the strategy, including measures against hate crime.

The Ministry of Justice has continued implementing an EU-funded project, "Against Hate". One of the main objectives of the project is to further develop the national reporting mechanisms, especially regarding statistics on the prosecution and sentencing of hate crime. The project also aims to enhance the capacity of the police, prosecutors and judges to counteract hate crime and hate speech, and to develop support services for victims of hate crime.
