Japan is one of the most safe and secure countries in the world. We are creating aJapanese and English curriculum based on the results of research conducted by theCriminology Research Center (CrimRC) and will disseminate it within and outside Japan.
A key challenge is to construct an educational program of Japanese Criminology, whilst
also meeting the needs of foreign students who would benefit from learning about law,society and culture in Japan.
In this fall, we have organized a series of trial classes of Japanese Criminology in which
we shall first provide a lecture entitled “Criminology in Asia” by Prof. Dr. Setsuo
MIYAZAWA, President of Asian Criminological Society (ACS), followed by a variety ofinformation and knowledge concerning criminal statistics, victim surveys, drug policy,
the penal system and criminal justice (police, prosecution, trials, corrections andrehabilitation). Attendance is possible at these classes, and we encourage both foreign
and Japanese students to participate.
Ryukoku University will host the Asian Criminological Society Conference in the fall of2020.
