STATISTICAL PUBLICATION BASED UPON DATA RECEIVED FROM THE FINNISH POLICE DISTRICTS AND CUSTOMS HOUSES ON OFFENSES OF WHICH THE POLICE AND CUSTOMS OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OR WHICH OTHERWISE HAVE BECOME KNOWN TO THEM.
Abstract
OFFENSES AGAINST THE CRIMINAL CODE AND OTHER LAWS, EXCEPT OFFENSES AGAINST MILITARY LAW AND AGAINST THE ORDINANCES OF URBAN COMMUNES, ARE INCLUDED IN THE STATISTICS. REPORTS OF OFFENSES RECEIVED BY THE POLICE CONTAIN OFFENSES WHEN NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED. PROSECUTED OFFENSES OFFENSES WHEN NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED. PROSECUTED OFFENSES ARE THOSE IN CONSEQUENCE OF WHICH A PERSON HAS BEEN ARRESTED AND THOSE IN CONSEQUENCE OF WHICH A SUIT HAS BEEN BROUGHT OR WILL BE BROUGHT AGAINST HIM. THE OFFENSES WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN PROSEUCTED INCLUDE CASES IN WHICH THE DEFENDANT IS DEAD, IN WHICH THE PLAINTIFF HAS WITHDRAWN HIS SUIT, OR IN WHICH A PERSON IS NOT PROSECUTED BECAUSE OF INFANCY.
