Next week, police will be more effective online. This is a nationwide surveillance week, which will be held from 17 to 23 February 2025.
Police in the social media of the police units from all over Finland participate in supervision and can be reachable for young people throughout the week.
– Young people spend a lot of time online and that is why it is good for the police to be present in the online world, says the police inspector Miia Lehtinen in the bulletin.
One new way in which the police are seeking to reach young people is the activities of the game police. According to the announcement, the game police are attending the Assembly event at the Helsinki Fair Center and produce content on site on their channels.
For example, the game police organize Twitch streams on Thursday and Saturday from 6 pm to 9 pm, says Lehtinen.
Youth delinquency in growth

The aim is to increase young people’s awareness of e -crime phenomena, prevent young people from being involved in criminal networks, and discuss the effects of phenomena in young people’s lives. Wacks to prevent this have been widely considered.
– More efficient criminal investigation, measures to cut off the crime, guidance and support, and smooth cooperation between authorities are examples of recognized means, says Heikinheimo in the release.
Young people’s crime is still growing nationwide for serious crimes, especially for people under the age of 15. Young people’s violence typically occurs in groups and typical youthful offenses are robberies and damage where the same young people can be both factors and victims.
Criminal offenses accumulate in a small group, some of whom are committing serious crimes at very young people. Pre -prevention and reduction of youth crime are the most important tasks of the police.
This is what youth delinquency is
Young people describe the acts of violence and publish them on social media. With this, young people seek respect for other young people. The criminal lifestyle is idealized and may not be understood by the severity of the acts.
In the Police Board’s release, the theme has also been surrounded by Roadman culture and street gangs that glorify a criminal lifestyle. According to police experience, Roadman culture has often been a precursor before the young person has joined the street gang.
Young people who have challenges in their lives, substance abuse and schooling are often exposed to inappropriate influence online. Identifying and understanding this phenomenon is important. There should be more safe adults on the web and also for parents’ conscious risks to support young people.
During the surveillance week, police will provide young people with tips on identifying risks and protection against crime. Chancellor channels and other police officers in Somme discuss, among other things, online scams, roadman culture and crimes experienced by young people.
