LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

It is my privilege to inform readers of the successful completion of the 145th International
Training Course on "Effective Resettlement of Offenders by Strengthening ‘Community Reintegration
Factors’", which took place from 12 May to 18 June 2010.
In this Course, we welcomed eight Japanese and 10 overseas participants: one fromAfrica, four from Asia, four from Latin America and the Caribbean, and one from Oceania. Twointernational observers also attended, both from Asia. The participants and observers included
corrections officers, probation officers, police officers, prosecutors and other high-ranking public
officials.
As this newsletter demonstrates, the Course was extremely productive. It consisted ofindividual presentations, group workshop and plenary sessions, visits to relevant criminal justiceagencies and presentations by faculty members, visiting experts and ad hoc lecturers.
Since the 1990s, the efficacy of treatment measures designed to address personal factors ofoffenders, such as cognitive behavioural programmes, has been advocated, and such treatment has been
widely utilized in both institutional and community-based settings. However, it became graduallyapparent that these programmes alone are not sufficiently effective unless coupled with programmes
aimed at strengthening community reintegration factors, such as stable accommodation, basic skills(such as literacy and numeracy), employment, and budgeting/debt counselling. Strengthening thesefactors reduces the possibility of repeat offences; increases the possibility that cognitive behaviouralprogrammes, etc. are successfully completed; and could complement and reinforce the efficacy ofsuch programmes.
Strengthening community reintegration factors cannot be appropriately accomplished bya single agency. Co-operation with a wide range of agencies, organizations and individuals is
indispensable. The White Paper on Crime 2007, from the Ministry of Justice of Japan, statesthat "a multidisciplinary approach" for wide-ranging support is to be carried out with theclose collaboration of the criminal justice agencies and other relevant agencies responsible for
employment, welfare, education, health and medicine and so forth (p.360). The international
community has also emphasized the necessity of strengthening the role of groups and individuals
outside the public sector (see paragraph 9, The Bangkok Declaration, adopted by the United
Nations on the occasion of the Eleventh United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention andCriminal Justice).
Strengthening community reintegration factors through wide-ranging and multidisciplinary
co-operation is no easy task, and recognizing the challenge as it is, UNAFEI, as a regional instituteof the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme Network, decided to holdthis Course.
During the Course the participants diligently and comprehensively examined the current
situation of resettlement of offenders in the participating countries and existing countermeasures,primarily through a comparative analysis. The participants shared their own experiences andknowledge of the issues, and identified problems and areas in which improvements could be made.
With the academic and practical inputs from UNAFEI faculty and visiting experts and the in-depth

2discussions they had with each other, the participants are now better equipped to cope with therealities and difficulties of offender reintegration in their own countries.
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 goes tothe visiting experts and ad hoc lecturers who contributed a great deal to the Course’s success.
Furthermore, I appreciate the indispensable assistance and co-operation extended to UNAFEI byvarious agencies and institutions, which helped diversify the programme.
I would 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 branch organizations
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 successful realization ofthis Course.
Upon returning to their home countries, I genuinely believe that, like their predecessors, thestrong determination and dedication of the participants will enable them to work towards the improvement of their respective nation’s criminal justice systems, and to the benefit of internationalsociety as a whole.
Finally, I would like to reiterate my best regards to the participants of the 145th
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 145TH INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE"EFFECTIVE RESETTLEMENT OF OFFENDERS BY STRENGTHENING‘COMMUNITY REINTEGRATION FACTORS’"

Course Rationale

Since the 1990s, scientific trends measuring the efficacy of rehabilitative programmes
for offenders from the viewpoint of ‘what works’ have spread in many countries and, as a result,many have come to believe that applying adequate treatment methods to a relevant groupof offenders can change their behaviours and reduce the possibility of repeat offences. Particularly,
programmes based on cognitive behavioural theory, designed to encourage offenders to acknowledge
their offending behaviour, consider its impact, address the distortions in their perspectives andthinking, change their attitudes, and develop strategies for avoiding situations giving rise to theiroffending in the future, have come to be widely utilized in both institutionalized and communitybased settings.
However, it became gradually apparent that these programmes alone are not sufficiently
effective unless coupled with programmes aimed at strengthening community reintegration factors,
such as stable accommodation, basic skills (such as literacy and numeracy), employment, andbudgeting/debt counselling. Strengthening these factors achieves the following objectives in termsof the treatment of offenders:• It reduces the possibility of repeat offences.
• It increases the possibility that cognitive behavioural programmes, etc. are successfullycompleted.
• It could complement and reinforce the efficacy of such programmes.
It is necessary to strengthen these integration factors, in particular, for the treatment ofprolific or persistent offenders. Because those offenders are likely to have multiple problems, working
on a single factor of offending behaviours, for example the distortions in their perspectives, is not
sufficient, and, it is also important to take a wide range of community reintegration factors into
consideration for their treatment. The Japanese government’s White Paper on Crime 2009, based
upon follow-up research of 1,210 offenders who received a suspended sentence (691 offenders forlarceny and 519 offenders for violations of the Stimulants Control Act), statistically demonstrates
that offenders with:(i)proper employment;(ii)
family members, etc. with whom the offender lives (stronger ties with family members); or(iii) a guarantor who swore supervision of the offender in court,
have lower rates of repeat offences (the Research and Training Institute of the Ministry of Justice,
While Paper on Crime 2009 [English Version], forthcoming).
Strengthening community reintegration factors cannot be appropriately implemented by asingle agency. Co-operation with a wide range of agencies, organizations and individuals is
indispensable. The White Paper on Crime 2007 states that "a multidisciplinary approach" forwide-ranging support is to be carried out with the close collaboration of the criminal justice4agencies and other relevant agencies responsible for employment, welfare, education, health andmedicine and so forth (the Research and Training Institute of the Ministry of Justice, While Paper
on Crime 2007 [English Version], p.360). In the international community, the necessity ofstrengthening the role of groups and individuals outside the public sector is also emphasized.1
Strengthening community reintegration factors, through establishing co-operation with such a wide
range of agencies, organizations and individuals in both the public sector and the private sector,is, however, difficult to accomplish, and it is a great challenge in the treatment of offenders atpresent.
Based on the above, this course aimed to clarify the current situations and problems
existing in participating countries’ treatment of offenders systems, mainly in terms of ways ofstrengthening community reintegration factors, i.e., supporting employment, securing stableaccommodation, developing basic skills, and so on. It also aimed to study good measures toimprove these kinds of treatment for offenders, including ways of co-operating with concerned
agencies, organizations and individuals in the public sector and the private sector, and by doing
so, aimed at further promotion and development of the administration of both institutional andcommunity-based treatment of offenders in the participating countries.
Objectives
The purpose of this Training Course was to offer participants an opportunity to shareexperiences and knowledge regarding the effective resettlement of offenders by strengthening
community reintegration factors. In order to achieve this purpose, the training programme provided
an opportunity to clarify the current situations and problems existing in the respective countries in
the field of the resettlement of offenders by strengthening community reintegration factors. There
was also opportunity to build participants’ knowledge of possible measures to improve ways ofstrengthening community reintegration factors of offenders at all stages of criminal justiceproceedings. In doing so, the participants are expected to deal with offenders, considering theirsocial inclusion.
Among the major topics studied were the following:(1) Current situations and problems of the treatment of offenders at all stages of criminal justiceproceedings in participating countries in terms of strengthening community reintegration factors:(a) Measures for strengthening community reintegration factors during investigation, prosecution
and diversion at the pre-adjudication stages, etc.;(b) Measures for strengthening community reintegration factors at the adjudication stage;(c) Measures for strengthening community reintegration factors during institutional corrections(examples of concrete topics are as follows):• Employment support guidance;• Academic/educational training;• Specific treatment for developing basic skills other than academic/educational training;• Measures for securing accommodation after release;• Others;

Course Summary

Lectures
In total, six lectures were presented by visiting experts, nine by ad hoc lecturers and six
by the faculty of UNAFEI. Three distinguished criminal justice practitioners from abroad served
as UNAFEI visiting experts. They lectured on issues relating to the main theme, and contributed
significantly to the Course by encouraging discussions after their own lectures, participating in thediscussions of other programmes, and conversing with the participants on informal occasions.
Additionally, distinguished senior officials of the Government of Japan delivered ad hoc lectures.
The lecturers and lecture topics are listed on pages 8 to 10.
Individual Presentations
During the first two weeks, each Japanese and overseas participant delivered an individual
presentation, which introduced the actual situation, problems and future prospects of his or
her country. These papers were compiled onto a USB memory stick and distributed to all theparticipants. The titles of these individual presentation papers are listed on pages 11 and 12.
Group Workshop Sessions
Group Workshop sessions further examined the sub-topics of the main theme. In order
to conduct each session effectively, the UNAFEI faculty selected individuals to serve as groupmembers for the sub-topics, based on their response to a questionnaire previously distributed.
Selected participants served as chairpersons, co-chairpersons, rapporteurs or co-rapporteurs andfaculty members served as advisers. Each group’s primary responsibility was to explore anddevelop their designated topics in the group workshop sessions. The participants and UNAFEI
faculty studied the topics and exchanged their views based on information obtained throughpersonal 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 meeting and report-back session, where they were endorsed
as the reports of the Course. Brief summaries of the group workshop reports are provided on
pages 13 and 14.
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 of Japanesesociety 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 15 to18.

Report
The group addressed the above topic by considering possible measures at each stage of thecriminal justice process, and making recommendations specific to each stage, as well asrecommendations applicable to the process as a whole. The recommendations are broken down
into the various categories below.
Recommendations applicable to all stages of the criminal justice process: The relevant
authorities should: 1. Seek possible reintegration as early as possible. 2. Change the mindsets ofstaff members, inmates and the community. 3. Include re-education in the process of retribution.
4. Cultivate relationships or co-operation between all involved facilities. 5. Support suspects/
accused/offenders in finding work and accommodation. 6. Create and/or utilize social resources.
At the pre-adjudication stage, the relevant authorities should: 1. Impose non-custodial
measures on first offenders. 2. Reinforce the role of the prosecution service, both in terms of thescope of its investigations and conclusions and the exercise of discretion in disposing cases.
At the adjudication stage: 1. Judges should consider the reintegration of the offender byconsulting pre-sentencing reports and/or other information regarding the offender’s background andpersonal circumstances.
At the post-adjudication stage, the relevant authorities should: 1. Seek to improve the inmate’s
skills (including basic education, motivation, vocational training, and relationship skills). 2. Seek toimprove the skills of staff members to ensure that they execute their duties accurately andre-evaluate social work techniques employed in the care of offenders. 3. Assess obstacles topromoting more effective reintegration of offenders.
In the community sphere, the relevant authorities should implement public relations campaigns and activities to raise the awareness of the general public about how the criminal justicesystem treats offenders and the correctional treatment provided to them, as well as encouraging thecommunity’s participation in reintegrating offenders.

Report Summary
1. Criminal justice systems should comply with established international standards such as
the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners; the UN Standard Minimum
Rules for Non-Custodial Measures (The Tokyo Rules); etc. 2. Governments should establish
regulatory systems for partnership and collaboration that clearly spells out the roles of partners andthat ensures the integrity of services delivered. 3. Introduce holistic assessment of offenders tofacilitate appropriate classification and treatment, especially for offenders with addiction or difficult
personalities. 4. Through continuous training, enhance human resources and capacity of staff
throughout the entire criminal justice system to ensure and sustain the delivery of rehabilitation
treatment programmes. 5. Establish an information sharing system and common database to ensure
the flow of appropriate information regarding the offender. 6. Improve linkages between partnersof the criminal justice system to facilitate "through-care", enforce aftercare, and sustain a seamlesssystem. 7. A pre-sentence report can be useful for offenders with addiction or personality problems.
8. Create special drug courts for offenders with drug addictions. 9. Employ stringent measures tocurb the supply of drugs and other substances in prisons/correctional institutions and implement
regular urine testing. 10. Identify potential private partners and develop their capacity to understandtheir role in rehabilitating offenders. Where possible encourage community-based or faith-based
groups to facilitate reintegration. (e.g. volunteer probation officers; co-operative employers (whoshould be given adequate subsidies); etc. 11. Where appropriate, the criminal records of ex-offenders
should be expunged or protected and not used against them as an obstacle to employment orreintegration, especially where there is no recidivism. 12. Sensitize the community and gain its
support in dispelling prejudices and stigma against offenders. 13. The community should be
involved in all stages of the criminal justice system where it is appropriate for them to be so
involved. 14. Where possible, introduce combined sentences, utilizing electronic monitoring, andnight-time and weekend imprisonment for low-risk offenders. 15. Restorative justice that involves
both the community and victims is important to facilitate community reintegration. This encompasses
both the individual or particular victim and the community or society and makes the offenderfirstly, aware of his or her offensive behaviour and secondly, take responsibility for it.

methods of combating corruption and measures to enhance international co-operation.
3.

The 146th International Training Course
The 146th International Training Course is scheduled for 25 August to 1 October 2010.
The main theme of the Course is "Attacking the Proceeds of Crime: Identification, Confiscation,
Recovery and Anti-Money Laundering Measures". Ten overseas participants and nine Japaneseparticipants will attend.
RationaleConfiscation of the proceeds of crime is one of the most powerful tools to fight organizedand economic crime, including corruption. Not only does it realize justice by depriving criminalsof their ill-gotten gains, but it deters potential criminals from engaging in criminal activity
by sending out a clear message that "crime does not pay". Moreover, stemming the flow of acriminal organization’s lifeblood - its financial resources - can be a particularly effective way tohinder further activity and future proliferation of such organizations.
Confiscation of criminal proceeds has other desirable consequences. Assets successfully
confiscated may be utilized for useful purposes including victim compensation, and in corruption
cases, where a huge amount of public assets have been diverted and transferred to a corrupt official’s
personal accounts (often overseas), returning the confiscated assets to the Victim Country’s nationaltreasury can further development of that country.
For these reasons, since the late 1980s, confiscation of criminal proceeds and criminalizationof money laundering have come to be internationally recognized as important criminal justice tools.2
As a result, relevant provisions have been incorporated into various United Nations Conventions
and international standards such as the FATF recommendations.
The United Nations Convention against Illicit Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic
Substances (1988) requires States Parties to criminalize money laundering and take necessary
measures to identify, trace, freeze and confiscate the proceeds of drug related offences.3 The United
2

The Final Declaration issued following the 2009 G8 Justice & Home Affairs Ministerial Meeting concisely
explains the concept. "We came to the conclusion that a critical tool in fighting organized crime is to deprive
criminal organizations of the proceeds of crime, pursuing a proceeds-driven approach."3
Article 3, Paragraph 1 b) and 1 c), and Article 5.

27

Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (2000) requires States Parties toexpand the scope of predicate offences for money laundering purposes. It also requires States
Parties to adopt certain measures to identify, freeze, and confiscate proceeds of crime and toprovide international co-operation regarding these matters.4 The United Nations Convention
against Corruption (2003) goes one step further by including innovative provisions regarding"asset recovery" - the return of assets to victim countries - which is characterized as "a fundamental
principle" of the Convention.5
Outside of the United Nations, the Financial Action Task Force on money laundering(FATF), an inter-governmental body established by the G-7 summit in 1989, developed the "Forty
Recommendations (1990)" which provide a comprehensive set of countermeasures against money
laundering. The Forty Recommendations were supplemented by the "Eight Special Recommendations(2001)" that address issues terrorist financing. These two sets of recommendations have evolved
into what is now known as the "40+9 Recommendations (2004)" and are recognized as international
standards for combating money laundering and financing of terrorism.
The existence of Conventions and Recommendations, however, does not guarantee thatthese measures are effectively and successfully implemented or applied. In reality, identifying, tracing, freezing, and confiscating the proceeds of crime is an extremely complex and time-consuming
process. It is made more so by the often intervening money laundering schemes by which criminals attempt to conceal the origin, destination and/or nature of their money. A sufficient understanding of various legal and non-legal issues that arise throughout the above process is essential
in order to effectively take advantage of these important legal tools. Likewise, international sharingof knowledge and experience will be necessary in order to effectively request/provide assistanceand co-operation to other countries.
Objectives of the ProgrammeThis programme offers participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding and shareexperiences and expertise on "identification, confiscation and recovery of the proceeds of crimeand anti-money laundering measures". Emphasis will be placed on organized crime and corruption.
Another objective of the programme is to establish a global network of counterparts so that exchange of updated information on country practices can be facilitated.
In order to achieve these objectives, the programme will provide an opportunity to identify
and examine current situations and problems existing in participants’ countries, and to build
participants’ knowledge of possible measures to improve current situations.
These objectives will be achieved through lectures and participants’ dialogue and discussions.
Specific topics to be discussed are the following:
1. Accumulation of ill-gotten proceeds (with particular emphasis on organized crime andcorruption):(a) Current situation:
Current situation of accumulation of ill-gotten proceeds by offenders in each country, major
case examples, modus operandi, cases of successful investigation, recent trends and problems
