The number of victims of certain recorded criminal offenses in Finland increased over the past decade. In 2020, there were roughly 67.9 thousand victims of recorded violent and sexual offenses. This was an increase of almost 31 percent compared to the previous year. According to the source, the growth resulted from a large number of reported extortion cases. By contrast, approximately 40 thousand people were victims of violent and sexual crime in 2010.

Supplementary notes
The source adds the following information: "Information on victims is obtained reliably only on certain violent and sexual offences. For example, in offences against property, the police do not usually identify the victim of the offence and the injured party. Especially in offences against minors, the guardian of the actual victim is recorded as an injured party."
