INTRODUCTORY NOTE
It is with pride that the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and theTreatment of Offenders (UNAFEI) offers to the international community the Resource Material Series No.
104.
Before introducing the contents of this issue, I would like to draw your attention to a number ofenhancements to the Resource Material Series that have been made over the last few issues. In RMS No. 102,
we introduced a new section entitled “Supplemental Material”. This new section will include expertsʼ papers,
presentations and other reports produced by, or in connection with, UNAFEIʼs activities. In RMS No. 103, weintroduced a redesigned cover to give the journal a new look and to provide readers with quicker access toinformation about the contents covered in each issue. In this issue, RMS No. 104, we have expanded thecontent of the appendix to include additional presentation materials related to certain courses, and we havecreated an index of the entire Resource Material Series in order to help our readers search for and locate
relevant papers published in prior issues. We hope that you find these changes beneficial and that theyenhance the value of the Series as a whole.
Part One of this volume contains the work product of the 167th International Training Course, conductedfrom 23 August to 21 September 2017. The main theme of the 167th Course was Rehabilitation and Social
Reintegration of Organized Crime Members and Terrorists. Part Two contains the work product of the 20thUNAFEI UNCAC Training Programme, conducted from 1 November to 7 December 2017. The main themeof the 20th UNCAC Programme was Effective Measures to Investigate the Proceeds of Corruption Crimes.
The 167th Course offered participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding of relevant theories
and practices to facilitate the reintegration of former organized crime members and terrorists into society.
The rise of violent extremism and terrorism throughout the world presents criminal justice systems with theunique challenge of balancing the interests of public security with the well-established principles of humanrights. This challenge is compounded by the growing links between terrorism and organized crime, and theongoing threat of the radicalization of prisoners and detainees in custodial settings. While evidence-based
practices and research are still in the early stages of development, there is global recognition of the need toidentify effective measures that support offenders in the process of disengagement or deradicalization fromviolent extremism. Using the UNODCʼs “Handbook on the Management of Violent Extremist Prisoners andthe 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 therehabilitation and social reintegration of terrorists and members of organized crime groups.
The 20th UNCAC Programme addressed challenges facing anti-corruption officials in investigating,tracing, freezing and confiscating the proceeds of corruption crimes. To successfully prove corruption
offences, establishing the flow of the proceeds of corruption is a crucial element. However, the nature ofcorruption makes it very difficult for criminal justice authorities to obtain effective leads and to fully developand investigate them. This is because corruption is ordinarily committed in secret among a very limited
number of parties. Moreover, laundering of proceeds of corruption frequently involves various methods todisguise illegal transactions, and, in our globalized society, the proceeds can be easily and quickly transferred
across national borders and investigative jurisdictions. Thus, accurate and speedy identification and tracing ofillicit proceeds of corruption are some of the most important elements to a successful investigation. Thesesteps are prerequisites for freezing, seizing and, ultimately, confiscating the proceeds of corruption from
offenders in order to deprive them of their ill-gotten gains, prevent their ability to commit further crime anddeter them from attempting to do so.
UNAFEI, as one of the institutes of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice
Programme Network, held these training programmes to offer participants opportunities to shareexperiences, gain knowledge, and examine crime prevention measures in their related fields, as well as tobuild a human network of counterparts to further international cooperation, which is vital to addressing theseissues.
In this issue, in regard to both the 167th International Training Course and the 20th UNAFEI UNCAC
Training Programme, papers contributed by visiting experts, selected individual presentation papers fromamong the participants, and the reports of each programme are published. I regret that not all the papers
submitted by the participants of each programme could be published.
viI would like to pay tribute to the contributions of the Government of Japan, particularly the Ministry ofJustice, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and the Asia Crime Prevention Foundation forproviding indispensable and unwavering support to UNAFEIʼs international training programmes. Finally, Iwould like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all who so unselfishly assisted in the publication of this series.
