Japan Anti-Social Forces Check
Why Conduct a Japan Anti-Social Forces Check?
Understanding if your candidate is or has been involved in criminal activities in any jurisdiction allows you to assess the risk of bringing that individual into your organisation.
In Japan companies have to also ensure that they do not employ individuals that have connections to “anti-social forces” under anti-organised crime laws. However, the police do not publicly disclose the list of such members of anti-social forces groups, and it is also not permissible for an employer or third party to access government sourced criminal record information for background screening purposes.
To mitigate the lack of accessible sources HireRight has developed a proprietary database supplemented by the searching of a third-party database to deliver a tailored Anti-Social Forces check to address this specific hiring risk to Japanese employers.
The Anti-Social Forces check searches publicly available sources such as court records, Japanese media and publications. The service identifies if your candidate has connections with organised crime syndicates or has engaged in criminal activities in Japan to help you make informed hiring decisions.
HireRight’s Japan Anti-Social Forces Check
Our Japan Anti-Social Forces service is conducted by our dedicated team of experienced, local researchers in Japan.
When we perform the check, we first search our proprietary anti-social forces database. Our database, established in 2008, includes one of the largest repositories of Japanese criminal court case records alongside civil litigation records and anti-social forces data. We then supplement the search further by accessing records held on a third party database.
These databases include a wide range of sources as follows:
National Police Agency (NPA) records
Local Police Agencies’ records
Japanese criminal court records
Japanese publications including national and local newspapers, magazines, and professional journals via Japan’s largest local language press database
Records from independent anti-organized crime associations.
