Title: Suspected Crimes With Racist Characteristics in the Criminal Justice Process - Case Study in Helsinki, 2006.
Summary: Studies on the number and characteristics of cases of racist crime reported to the police in Finland have been conducted since 1997. According to these reports, the volume of racist crime has been increasing slightly in recent years. So far, however, we have not had scientifically researched information on how the Finnish legal system deals with racist crime. This study charts the progress through the criminal justice process of suspected crimes with racist characteristics reported to the police, from the pre-trial investigation by the police to consideration of charges and further to court proceedings. The study is also intended to help improve the operations of the police and the judicial officials in the processing of cases with racist characteristics.
