LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
It is my privilege to inform readers of the successful completion of the 179th International
Training Course on “Juvenile Justice and Beyond – Effective Measures for the Rehabilitationof Juveniles in Conflict with the Law and Young Adult Offenders”, which took place onlinefrom 6 to 29 September 2022. In this Course, we welcomed 24 overseas participants: 5 fromAfrica, 16 from Asia, and 3 from Central America. The participants included officials ofcorrectional authorities, probation services, juvenile rehabilitation centres, the judiciary andother public officials involved in the field of juvenile justice. As this newsletter demonstrates,
the Course was extremely productive. It consisted of lectures by visiting experts, expert
lecturers, UNAFEI faculty members, individual presentations and interactive online discussion
sessions.
For decades, the United Nations standards and norms on juvenile justice – the Beijing
Rules, the Riyadh Guidelines etc. – have recognized the importance of using protective
measures and other forms of specialized treatment to help at-risk juveniles and juveniles inconflict with the law to become law-abiding adults. This is because juveniles are socially andpsychologically immature, easily influenced by others and susceptible to stress and trauma. On theother hand, juveniles are often more responsive to efforts at rehabilitation and reintegration
with appropriate intervention and support, and recent neurological studies have demonstrated
that brain development and psychological malleability of young adults continue into the mid20s. Despite this understanding, many jurisdictions face challenges in implementing protective,
rehabilitative measures that provide adequate support for social reintegration.
UNAFEI, as one of the institutes of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal
Justice Programme Network, held this Course to offer participants an opportunity to clarify andanalyse the current situation of juvenile justice in each participating country and to explore
more effective practices to promote the rehabilitation and reintegration of juveniles inconflict with the law. Additionally, the participants were able to share experiences, gain
knowledge and build a human network of counterparts.
During the Course, the participants diligently and comprehensively examined the main
theme, primarily through a comparative analysis. The participants shared their own experiences
and knowledge of the issues and identified problems and areas in which improvements could
be made. With the academic and practical input from the visiting experts, expert lecturers and
UNAFEI faculty – and the in-depth discussions they had with each other – the participants are
now better equipped to enhance the policies and practices related to juvenile justice.
I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to all the participants upon their successful
completion of the Course, made possible by their strenuous efforts. My heartfelt gratitude goesout to the visiting experts and expert lecturers who contributed a great deal to the Course’s
success. Furthermore, I appreciate the indispensable assistance and cooperation extended to
UNAFEI by various agencies and institutions that helped diversify the Course.
I would also like to express my great appreciation to the Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA) for its immeasurable support throughout the Course. At the same time, a warm
tribute must be paid to the Asia Crime Prevention Foundation (ACPF) and its branchorganizations for their substantial contributions to our activities. Lastly, I owe my gratitude to
all the individuals whose unselfish efforts behind the scenes contributed significantly to the2successful realization of this Course.
With the knowledge and perspectives gained through this training course, I genuinely
believe that, like their predecessors, the strong determination and dedication of the participants
will enable them to work towards the improvement of their respective nations’ criminal justicesystems, and towards the benefit of international society as a whole.
Finally, I would like to reiterate my best regards to the participants of the 179th
International Training Course. I hope that the experience they gained during the Course proves
valuable in their daily work and that the bonds fostered among the participants, visiting experts
and UNAFEI staff will continue to grow for many years to come.

THE 179TH INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSEJUVENILE JUSTICE AND BEYOND – EFFECTIVE MEASURES FOR THE
REHABILITATION OF JUVENILES IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW AND YOUNG
ADULT OFFENDERS
Course Rationale

I. INTRODUCTION
The main theme of the programme was “Juvenile Justice and Beyond – Effective Measures
for the Rehabilitation of Juveniles in Conflict with the Law and Young Adult Offenders”. This
training course mainly focused on the rehabilitation and social reintegration of juveniles inconflict with the law who are subject to institutional treatment and community-based
treatment. However, we did not exclude any of the following behaviours as long as thejuvenile is involved with the juvenile justice system:“Status offences”, which are specific behaviours that would not be punishable ifcommitted by an adult;
Behaviour of children under the age of criminal responsibility that is in conflict withthe law and would be punishable if committed by adults.
Likewise, principles of juvenile justice shall also be extended to young adult offenders
because cognitive functions change gradually; consequently, young adults are similar in many
respects to juveniles.
II.

THE UN APPROACH TO JUVENILE JUSTICE

Many countries have established specified juvenile justice systems and laws with a view topromoting welfare, personal development and education. This is because juveniles are sociallyand psychologically immature, and they are susceptible to stress and trauma. On the other hand,juveniles are often more responsive to efforts at rehabilitation and reintegration withappropriate intervention and support. Since juveniles in conflict with the law face a critical stageof their lives for rehabilitation and reintegration, it is important to promote well-being andpersonal development of juveniles by providing appropriate measures and treatment, making
use of this formative period.
In light of the importance of this issue, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the“United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice” (TheBeijing Rules in 1985, a n d the “United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile
Delinquency” (The Riyadh Guidelines) and the “United Nations Rules for the Protection ofJuveniles Deprived of their Liberty” were adopted in 1990. Moreover, “the Convention on the
Rights of the Child” was adopted in 1989, calling for the adoption and implementation ofchild-sensitive justice systems based on humanitarianism, the guarantee of due process andthe expansion of diversion. Currently, more than 190 countries have ratified this Convention.
The Convention, rules and guidelines ensure several principles such as:

4Promoting the well-being of juveniles and their families,
Minimizing the necessity of intervention,
Due process in juvenile justice systems,
Involvement of parents or the guardian,Promotion of diversion from formal process,Avoiding deprivation of liberty (e.g., detention pending trial, institutional treatment),
Incarceration for the shortest appropriate period of time,
Encouraging the use of alternatives to institutionalization,
Protecting the privacy rights of juveniles.
Thus, the general objective of these standards and norms is to provide more “careoriented” treatment of juveniles in conflict with the law.
Also, the 13th UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice adopted the Doha
Declaration, which underlines the importance of development of comprehensive childsensitive justice policies focused on the best interests of the child to protect children who arein contact with the criminal justice system. Then, the Kyoto Declaration, adopted at the 14th
Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, sets out provisions to address the issuesof children and youth in contact with the criminal justice system, emphasizing theirvulnerabilities.
III. ASSESSMENT AND EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACHES
While the assessment of offenders intends to measure the risk of reoffending, it can also be
useful in guiding treatment of offenders. In 1990, Andrews and his colleagues presented three
general principles of assessment for purposes of effective treatment: (1) risk, (2) need, and (3)responsivity. Based on these principles, a model was created to determine who might benefit
from treatment services, what should be targeted and what is the appropriate style of treatment.
Although the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model has been subject to various criticisms, it
has provided a helpful framework for more than 30 years.
There are many risk assessment tools for juveniles in conflict with the law, each withdifferences in approach and level of detail. These differences are important in choosing risk
assessment tools in each jurisdiction. The assessment contributes to effective planning andinterventions for juveniles in conflict with the law. Principles of intervention, such as intensity,
frequency and focus, should be taken into consideration when formulating a treatment planfor each juvenile.
IV. REHABILITATION AND SOCIAL REINTEGRATION
Juveniles are socially and psychologically immature, and they are susceptible to stress andtrauma. On the other hand, with appropriate intervention and support, juveniles are often more
responsive to efforts at rehabilitation and reintegration. According to research on adolescent
brain development, adolescence lasts longer than previously thought, and the adolescent brain
is surprisingly malleable. During the adolescent period, the ability of self-control develops
remarkably, and incarceration of adolescents might have adverse effects on this ability. Also,
when comparing the reoffending rates of adolescents who have had their cases handled throughthe formal justice system with those who have participated in diversion programmes, the rateof the former was higher than the latter.

5
In light of the characteristics of juveniles and the above-mentioned research on
reoffending, juveniles in conflict with the law face a critical stage of their lives forrehabilitation and reintegration. Thus, it is important to promote well-being and personal
development of those juveniles by providing appropriate interventions, treatment and support
which will help each juvenile in conflict with the law to live a sound life making use of thisformative period. For this purpose, many countries implement specified measures for juveniles,
such as diversion programmes, alternative measures to incarceration, restorative justice, anda variety of other treatment programmes. However, some countries also face challenges
including long-term detention/incarceration, lack of social inquiry, lack of use of diversion,and there is room for further specified treatment programmes and throughcare fromincarceration to the community.
In addition, it is of vital importance to take a multi-stakeholder approach with active
participation of a wide range of relevant sectors and persons in a concerted manner, including
garnering understanding and acceptance of the public at large. Public-private partnership andactive involvement of the community are particularly important to ensure the continuity ofinterventions, treatment and support for juveniles in conflict with the law. Relevant stakeholders
include, but are not limited to, job assistance agencies, employers, temporary-housing
agencies and suppliers, schools, welfare agencies, healthcare services and facilities, family
members, and faith-based organizations, NGOs, and community volunteers which provide
various types of support.
V.

YOUNG ADULT OFFENDERS

Increasing evidence suggests that the brain continues to develop during childhood into
early adulthood. Unlike physical maturity, high executive functions of the brain such asplanning and impulse control are not usually developed fully until the age of 25. Thus, young
adults, like juveniles, could be considered less culpable than other adults because of their
psychosocial immaturity. Being mindful of these considerations and recognitions about young
adults, interventions for young adult offenders need to be reconsidered. Although young adultoffenders often face punishment including incarceration in penal institutions in mostjurisdictions, more developmentally appropriate options should be explored for young adultoffenders to promote well-being and personal development.
VI. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMMEThis programme offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding andshare experiences and knowledge focusing on (i) juvenile justice systems and the UN approach
to Juvenile Justice, (ii) assessment and evidence-based approaches (iii) effective
institutional/community-based treatment for juveniles in conflict with the law, and (iv)application of principles of juvenile justice to young adult offenders. In order to achieve theseobjectives, this programme provided an opportunity to identify and examine the current
situations and challenges existing in the participants’ countries, and to build the participants’knowledge of possible measures to improve the current practices. These objectives wereachieved via lectures and the participants’ dialogue and discussions.
In addition, the programme promoted the formation of a personal and professional network
among the participants, which will benefit each one of them and their respective countries in
the future by the sharing of updated information, thus enhancing international cooperation in6
the field of crime prevention and criminal justice.
VII. KEY TOPICS OF THE PROGRAMMEThe following are key topics that were addressed during the programme:(i) Juvenile justice systems in each jurisdiction and the relevant international standards
and norms• General principles of juvenile justice systems• Specific juvenile justice procedures (compared to those for adults)• United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile
Justice (The Beijing Rules)• United Nations Guidelines for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (The

Course Summary
Lectures
During the course, the participants attended a variety of lectures, presentations anddiscussion sessions, including 2 presented by the visiting experts, 6 by expert lecturers andlectures by faculty members of UNAFEI. The distinguished lecturers addressed issues relating
to the main theme of the course and contributed significantly beyond their lectures byanswering the participants’ questions during online question and answer sessions. The visiting
experts included experts from the University of Sydney Law School in Australia and the United
Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. The expert lectures included a Japanese family court
investigating officer and a certified clinical psychologist from the Correctional Training Instituteof the Ministry of Justice of Japan. The lecturers and lecture topics are listed on page 8.
Individual Presentations
During the course, all participants delivered individual presentations which introduced thesituation, problems and future prospects of the participants’ countries. These papers were
distributed to all the participants. The titles of these individual presentation papers are listed on
pages 9 to 11.
Group Workshop Sessions
Group workshop sessions provided the participants with the opportunity to further examine
the sub-topics of the main theme through the means of a case study. Each group assessed therisk of a fictional juvenile offender and created a rehabilitation plan for him. In order to conduct
each session effectively, the UNAFEI faculty selected individuals to serve as group members
for the sub-topics. Selected participants served as chairpersons, co-chairpersons, rapporteurs
or co-rapporteurs, and faculty members served as advisers. Each group’s primary responsibility
was to explore and develop their designated topics in the group workshop sessions. The
participants and UNAFEI faculty studied the topics and exchanged their views based on
information obtained through personal experience, the individual presentations, lectures and soforth. The group members are provided on pages 12 to 13.
Action Plans
As the primary output of the Course, each participant prepared an individual action plan toimplement new or improved practices in the participant’s country. The action plans consisted of
two parts. Firstly, the participants were asked to summarize their key takeaways from the Course;secondly, they were asked to create a measurable, practical plan for implementing new policies
or practices. These action plans were subsequently presented in the plenary report-back session,
where they were discussed by the participants and UNAFEI faculty members. The titles ofthese action plans are provided on pages 14 to 16.
