Project: Execution of a judicial decision of juvenile court

Responsible organisation: Ministry of Justice (Governmental)

In The Netherlands, minors can get a so-called HALT sentence for committing (minor) crimes. This sentence means that the minor has to do labour. When the work gets completed, the minor no longer has criminal record. The project team looked into the possibilities to use Blockchain for the registration of labour that has been completed. Blockchain would be an interesting technology for such a log, but important legal questions need to be resolved. For example, would it be legally allowed to store information on a Blockchain permanently if the point of getting a HALT sentence is that the minor can continue his life without a criminal record?
