Crime in Finland
[1] Half of murders involve men of specific groups (unemployed, undereducated, drug and alcohol problems) in heavy drinking situations.[3] Finland has been known to give low sentences for financial crimes such as cartel behaviour, insider trading, and tax evasion.Finland's Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index ranking dropped to the 5th place, but was back up to world 2nd in 2023, just after Denmark.The controversy began with a remark by a Centre Party MP that he had not disclosed his funding sources because, despite the obligation, there was no punishment for avoiding it coded in the law.The Finnish National Bureau of Investigation is aware of the existence of approximately ninety criminal gangs with a total membership of around eight-hundred.Other international biker gangs operating in the country include the Diablos, Outlaws, Red Devils and Satudarah, as well as Cannonball, a prominent domestic organisation.[7] Along with these motorcycle gangs, there are other criminal organisations without the same principles as in biker groups such as Bats, United Brotherhood and X-Team, a Bandidos sub-division.[9] In 2013, the police raided a suspected United Brotherhood member's home and found 47 firearms, 18 of which were capable of sustained rapid fire, along with drugs, doping substances and jewellery.A persistent myth claims that Finns would have the fourth most firearms in the world per capita (right after United States, Yemen, Switzerland), with around 45.3 guns for every 100 people.[14] This false number rises from the Small Arms Survey, which claimed in 2007 that there would be 800 000 unregistered guns in addition to the registered ones.Finland has a high incidence of gun related deaths including suicides, but in gun-related homicides, it is the fifth-ranking country in the EU.According to the authors, "weak parental social control and risk routines, such as staying out late, appear to partly explain the immigrant youths' higher delinquency", and "the relevance of socioeconomic factors was modest".[25][26] has dropped considerably, though it is still present [27] Around 6000 individuals have been identified in 2019 for buying goods from a dark web supplier, most probably drugs[28] [citation needed] The most common punishments are fines and probation.[32] During the same period, slightly more than 6% of people convicted of sexually exploiting a minor received a prison sentence, with the average jail time being 14 months.
