わいせつ歴の一元管理を　子ども被害防止へ自民提言

　自民党行政改革推進本部長を務める棚橋泰文元科学技術担当相は２２日、菅義偉首相と首相官邸で会談し、性犯罪や性暴力を犯した人が教職員や塾講師の職に就くのを防ぐため、個人のわいせつ行為歴をデータベースで一元管理する「わいせつ行為歴照会制度」の創設を求める提言書を手渡した。首相は「速やかに検討したい」と前向きな姿勢を示したという。
　棚橋氏によると、首相は「一日も早く子どもを性暴力から守る環境をつくらなければいけない」と強調。党内で検討が始まった「こども庁」新設が実現した場合、こども庁に制度を担わせたいとの考えも示した。ただ、制度の導入には、わいせつ行為歴のある人の社会復帰を阻害しかねないとの反対論もあり、議論を呼びそうだ。（2021/04/22-18:52）

A senior Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Thursday submitted a proposal to set up a database for the central management of records of indecent acts to better protect children from such crimes.
   Yasufumi Tanahashi, head of the Japanese ruling party's Headquarters for Promoting Administrative Reform, met with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to turn in the proposal, aimed at preventing people who have committed sex crimes from becoming teachers or cram school tutors.
   According to Tanahashi, former minister for science and technology policy, Suga promised to consider the matter promptly.
   Suga also stressed the importance of creating as soon as possible an environment in which children are protected from sexual abuse.
   He also hopes to have a proposed new agency for affairs related to children manage the database if any such organization, a matter being discussed within the LDP, is established, according to Tanahashi.
