In Ukraine, a register of those convicted of crimes against children on a sexual basis was formed, which should become a safeguard against contact with criminals.
The Prosecutor Generalʼs Office writes about this.
The electronic database also includes those whose convictions for such crimes have been removed or repaid. So far, information about all child abusers — 600 of them — has been entered into the register.
There are data on the convictʼs last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, place of residence or stay, crime for which he was convicted, data on criminal punishment, actually served punishment and violation of the rules of administrative supervision.
Principals of schools and kindergartens, heads of state administrations and heads of local self-government bodies will have access to the register, in particular. This will allow them to protect children from contact with criminals.
- In December 2019, the parliament allowed the creation of a register of pedophiles and then gave access to it only to law enforcement officers.
