LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
It is my privilege to inform readers of the successful completion of the 167thInternational Training Course on “Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration of Organized
Crime Members and Terrorists”, which took place from 23 August to 21 September 2017. In
this Course, we welcomed 7 Japanese participants and 14 overseas participants, including 2
observers: 10 from Asia, 2 from Africa, 1 from South America, and 1 from Oceania. The
participants included judges, prosecutors, probation officers, police officers and other public
officials involved in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. As this newsletter
demonstrates, the Course was extremely productive. It consisted of lectures by visiting
experts, ad hoc lecturers, UNAFEI faculty members, individual presentations, visits torelevant criminal justice agencies, and group-workshop and plenary sessions.
The rise of violent extremism and terrorism throughout the world presents criminal
justice systems with the unique challenge of balancing the interests of public security with thewell-established principles of human rights. This challenge is compounded by the growing
links between terrorism and organized crime, and the ongoing threat of the radicalization ofprisoners and detainees in custodial settings. While evidence-based practices and research arestill in the early stages of development, there is global recognition of the need to identify
effective measures that support offenders in the process of disengagement or deradicalizationfrom violent extremism. Using the UNODC’ s “Handbook on the Management of Violent
Extremist Prisoners and the Prevention of Radicalization to Violence in Prisons” as a guide, as
well as other global initiatives, criminal justice practitioners can begin the process of
implementing strategies and practices that may lead to the rehabilitation and social
reintegration of terrorists and members of organized crime groups.
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
and analyse the current situation of efforts to rehabilitate and reintegrate members oforganized-crime and terrorist groups in each participating country and to explore more
effective practices for doing so. 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,
ad hoc lecturers and UNAFEI faculty—and the in-depth discussions they had with eachother—the participants are now better equipped to enhance the policies and practices related
to deradicalization and disengagement from violent extremism in their respective countries.
I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to all the participants upon theirsuccessful completion of the Course, made possible by their strenuous efforts. My heartfelt
gratitude goes out to the visiting experts and ad hoc 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2
time, a warm tribute must be paid to the Asia Crime Prevention Foundation (ACPF) and its
branch organizations for their substantial contributions to our activities. Lastly, I owe mygratitude to all the individuals whose unselfish efforts behind the scenes contributed
significantly to the successful realization of this Course.
Upon returning to their home countries, 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 justice systems, and towards the benefit
of international society as a whole.
Finally, I would like to reiterate my best regards to the participants of the 167thInternational 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 167TH INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSEREHABILITATION AND SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF ORGANIZED CRIMEMEMBERS AND TERRORISTS
Course Rationale
The objective of the programme is to identify key elements of best practices inmanaging organized crime members and terrorists which can be commonly shared among theparticipants regardless of the differences in their legal systems, cultures and societies.
Among others, the following issues were considered:-

The management of violent extremists (offenders who have embraced violent
extremism) in the community and institutions (jails, prisons, detention centres, etc.);-

Preventing the progression to violent extremism in institutions (offenders who may
be vulnerable to radicalization to violence);-

Interventions aimed at disengaging violent extremists from violence and at
facilitating their social reintegration especially upon release.

Using the UNODC’s “Handbook on the Management of Violent Extremist Prisoners
and the Prevention of Radicalization to Violence in Prisons”1 as a reference, and through avariety of lectures and presentations, discussions, observation tours as well as intensive group
workshops, participants learned the theories underlying the principles and practicalexperiences of other countries. The programme also explored the advantages and/or
shortcomings of the participating countries’ systems and practices. With its comparative
approach, the programme enabled participants to acquire new and different viewpoints on, andinspired them to revisit and consider, possible ways to improve their own systems andpractices. The experience of gaining a multifaceted view and understanding by eachparticipant of his or her own system and practices will eventually contribute to renewed or
improved policy concerning the management of organized crime members and terrorists intheir respective countries. Further, it will lead to enhanced rehabilitation of organized crime
members and terrorists and their reintegration into the community, and will ultimately
contribute to the building of stable and peaceful societies based on core values such as humanrights and the rule of law.
In addition, the Course will promote 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 through the sharing of updated information, thus enhancing
international cooperation in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice.
Key Topics of the Course
The following key topics were addressed during the Course:1

Course Summary
Lectures
During the Course, the participants attended 35 lectures, including 9 presented by thevisiting experts, 2 by ad hoc lecturers and 3 by the faculty of UNAFEI. Three distinguishedcriminal justice practitioners served as UNAFEI’s visiting experts. They lectured on issues
relating to the main theme of the Course and contributed significantly beyond their lectures byencouraging discussions after their lectures, participating in the discussions of otherprogrammes, and conversing with the participants on informal occasions. Additionally, the ad
hoc lectures were delivered by a practitioner from the National Police Agency of Japan and aprofessor of a Japanese university. The lecturers and lecture topics are listed on pages 6 to 8.
Individual Presentations
During the first three weeks of the Course, all participants delivered individual
presentations which introduced the situation, problems and future prospects of theparticipants’ countries. These papers were compiled onto a USB memory stick and distributed
to all the participants. The titles of these individual presentation papers are listed on pages 8 to
11.
Group Workshop Sessions
Group workshop sessions provided the participants with the opportunity to further
examine the sub-topics of the main theme. In order to conduct each session effectively, the
UNAFEI faculty selected individuals to serve as group members for the sub-topics, based on
their responses to a previously distributed questionnaire. Selected participants served aschairpersons, co-chairpersons, rapporteurs or co-rapporteurs, and faculty members served asadvisers. 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 so forth. After the group workshop sessions, reports
were drafted based on the discussions in their groups. These reports were subsequently
presented in the plenary report-back session, where they were endorsed as the reports of the
Course. Brief summaries of the group workshop reports are provided on pages 12 to 13.
Visits and Special Events
Visits to various agencies and institutions in Japan helped the participants obtain a morepractical understanding of the Japanese criminal justice system. In addition to the Course’s
academic agenda, many activities were arranged to provide a greater understanding ofJapanese society and culture, with the assistance of various organizations and individuals,
including the Asia Crime Prevention Foundation (ACPF). For more detailed descriptions,please refer to pages 14 to 16.

Report Summary
The group focused on interventions in prison that lead to the disengagement ofoffenders from violent extremism, stating that most states do not want to hold the growing
number of extremists in prison and lack the resources to do so. Thus, there is global demandfor effective measures to rehabilitate and release former violent extremists without posing athreat to society. Acknowledging that prisons must prioritize security, offender rehabilitationin prison must be pursued to achieve disengagement from violent extremism. This process
requires interventions from professional staff, such as psychologists, religious leaders,teachers, social workers, etc. However, maintaining prison security while providing anenvironment conducive to rehabilitation requires good quality and well-trained correctional
officers.
To classify, allocate and accommodate violent extremists in prison, the group proposeda hybrid strategy that accommodates highly influential extremists in separate housing units orin isolation while placing criminal opportunists and rehabilitated offenders in the general
population. To assess the risks and needs of violent extremists, Group 1 proposed a process ofongoing assessment utilizing interviewing, qualitative data and the verification of information.
Noting that several assessment tools are available, the group presented the VERA II (Violent
Extremist Risk Assessment) model. This tool identifies risk factors (not changeable) andneeds factors (changeable), which can be used for case-management planning and tailoring ofinterventions, such as through cognitive-behavioural therapy.
The group offered a number of methods and approaches to encourage extremist
offenders to disengage from their violent activities. These methods focus on psychologicaland cognitive approaches to encourage disengagement at the crucial early stages, and theyrequire continued monitoring and support after the completion of rehabilitation. Further
measures include dissuasion from extremism by credible interlocutors; social, vocational andrecreational activities; and government and civil society must match or exceed the support
offered by terrorist organizations by providing employment support and involving theoffender’s family, as well as media and social media campaigns to counter terrorism.
In conclusion, the group’s key recommendations are to ensure security in the prison
environment by segregating highly influential extremists from the general population,
employing professional staff and training correctional officers, conducting evidence-based
assessment of violent extremists, and pursuing the reintegration of rehabilitated extremists
into society by working with all segments of the community.

Report SummaryGroup 2 considered alternative measures to imprisonment for rehabilitating andreintegrating former members of organized crime groups and terrorists into society,concluding that diversion from prison has many advantages, such as identifying low-risk
offenders and preventing sympathizers from joining terrorist organizations. However, factors
such as the severity of the crime, the organization that the offender was affiliated with, theoffender’s level of radicalization, the likelihood of reoffending, the offender’s receptiveness tointervention and treatment, and acceptance of alternative measures by the victim and thecommunity must be considered.
The group agreed that courts should tailor alternatives to imprisonment andrehabilitation programmes to each offender with due consideration for public safety.
Alternative measures should be based on a comprehensive assessment of the offender,
including an intelligence review; juvenile offenders should be subject to investigations using
medical, psychological, pedagogical and other expert knowledge. Measures for treatment in
the community may include electronic monitoring and unpaid community service underenhanced supervision. However, the group recommended that serious crimes, such as firstdegree murder, firearms trafficking, and so on should not be subject to alternative measures toimprisonment.
To reintegrate former organized crime members and terrorists into society, theacceptance of the community is of utmost importance. Offenders require continuous
assistance and support in the community with the goal of preventing recidivism. Nongovernmental organizations should be involved to provide offenders with support,
counselling, social activities and accommodation at halfway houses. Additionally, privatesector employers should be enlisted to provide offenders with jobs upon release, and theemployers may be incentivized to hire ex-offenders by providing incentive payments, as is thecase in Japan. Other important measures include the involvement of religious leaders andcommunity volunteers such as volunteer probation officers. Furthermore, the mass media is a
powerful public channel for enhancing public acceptance of offender rehabilitation bycommunicating positive stories of successful rehabilitation and reintegration and interviews
demonstrating self-reflection by former organized crime members and terrorists and rejectionof their past extremist activities. Finally, the group recommended the use of a restorative
justice approach, through which the offender works to repair the harm caused to the victims,
including victim-offender mediation.
