In view of the fact that criminal provisions on sexual harm have the characteristic that the scope of what is punishable should be appropriately determined in light of how society perceives it, and that amendments to them have responded to the actual state of sexual harm in each era and to changes in social awareness of it, among other things, when five years have elapsed after this Act comes into effect, the Government is to take into consideration the status of enforcement of the provisions of each law as amended by this Act and the provisions of the Act on the Punishment of Acts of Photographing Sexual Poses, etc. and the Erasure, etc. of electronic or magnetic records of Images of Sexual Poses Recorded on Seized Articles (Act No. 67 of 2023) (hereinafter referred to as the "provisions of the new Penal Code, etc."), and, while also taking into account the actual state of sexual harm after the provisions of the new Penal Code, etc. come into effect, and how society perceives it and social awareness, in particular awareness concerning sexual consent, is to promptly review what measures should be taken to respond in line with the actual state of cases involving sexual offenses, and, when it finds it necessary, is to take the required measures based on the results.
政府は、性的な被害に係る犯罪規定が社会の受け止め方を踏まえて処罰対象を適切に決すべきものであるという特質を有し、また、その改正がそれぞれの時代の性的な被害の実態及びこれに対する社会の意識の変化に対応していること等に鑑み、この法律の施行後五年を経過した場合において、この法律による改正後のそれぞれの法律の規定及び性的な姿態を撮影する行為等の処罰及び押収物に記録された性的な姿態の影像に係る電磁的記録の消去等に関する法律（令和五年法律第六十七号）の規定（以下「新刑法等の規定」という。）の施行の状況を勘案し、新刑法等の規定の施行後の性的な被害の実態及びこれに対する社会の受け止め方や社会の意識、とりわけ性的同意についての意識も踏まえつつ、速やかに性犯罪に係る事案の実態に即した対処を行うための施策の在り方について検討を加え、必要があると認めるときは、その結果に基づいて所要の措置を講ずるものとする。
The Government is to conduct the necessary surveys on the difficulty of reporting sexual harm and other aspects of the actual state of sexual harm, so that the review referred to in the preceding paragraph will be more evidence-based.
政府は、前項の検討がより実証的なものとなるよう、性的な被害を申告することの困難さその他性的な被害の実態について、必要な調査を行うものとする。
