Screening in China and Japan
• CHINA does not have a criminal search per se, because those are only conducted by the Government. What is available is an “irregularity search” through the Ministry of Public Security. They house everyone’s criminal and credit information. • JAPAN is similar to China in terms of disallowing a criminal search. However, an “Illicit Activity Database Search” can be conducted that includes criminal records. • Court records are not available to the public • Many records obtained are stored in a proprietary database and it is a manual process and includes names, case reference, and offense • Limited in nature, only contains offenses in Tokyo and Osaka, the two main urban areas accounting for 20% of Japan’s population • Supplemented with a media press search. A low crime rate makes detection of offenses easier in that minor crimes are even reported and documented in the press. Other offenses such as DUI, theft, assault, and minor drug charges are listed
