性犯罪登録、禁錮以上は２０年　日本版ＤＢＳ、罰金は１０年―政府

　子どもと接する職に就く人に性犯罪歴がないことを確認する「日本版ＤＢＳ」で、政府がデータベースに性犯罪歴を登録する期間について、禁錮以上は刑を終えてから「２０年」、罰金以下は「１０年」とする方向で調整していることが２１日、分かった。有罪確定からこの年数を超えると再犯者が少なくなることを考慮。月内にも制度創設法案の骨子をまとめ、今国会への提出を目指す。
　政府が性犯罪で有罪が確定した再犯者を対象に、前回の有罪判決確定日からの期間を調査したところ、禁錮や懲役は２０年、罰金や科料は１０年の範囲に９割が収まっていたという。データベースに登録される性犯罪歴は期間を超えると削除され、確認できなくなる。（2024/02/21-11:57）

The Japanese version of Britain's Disclosure and Barring Service would keep records of sex offenses registered on its database for 20 years after the perpetrators are released from prison, it was learned Wednesday.
   The government is also considering leaving such records intact for 10 years in the database regarding offenses resulting in fines or lighter punishments, informed sources said.
   It came up with those data storage durations based on a government survey finding that 90 pct of subsequent sex offenses take place within 20 years of the finalization of sentences of at least imprisonment and within 10 years of that of lighter sentences.
   Expired sex crime records will be deleted from the proposed Japanese DBS system, to be used to check whether seekers of jobs involving contact with children have any such records.
   If a DBS bill the government aims to introduce during the ongoing parliamentary session is enacted, schools including nurseries will be required to check teaching job applicants' records.
