LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
It is my privilege to inform readers of the successful completion of the 161st International Training Course on “Staff Training for Correctional Leadership”, which took place from
19 August to 17 September 2015. In this Course, we welcomed 4 Japanese participants and 14
overseas participants: 4 from Asia, 6 from Africa, and 4 from Oceania. The participants
included corrections officers, probation officers and other public officials. 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 to relevant
criminal justice agencies, and group-workshop and plenary sessions.
The United Nations has adopted standards and norms, such as the Standard Minimum
Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (1955) and the Standard Minimum Rules for Non-custodial Treatment (1990) (“The Tokyo Rules”), which aim to improve global prison conditions
and the treatment of offenders. These standards and norms, among others, encourage UN
member states to implement policies and practices that protect the dignity and human rights ofoffenders and correctional staff, as well as policies and practices that seek to reduce recidivism
by promoting offender rehabilitation and social reintegration. A common theme of these instruments is recognition that full implementation of such policies and practices cannot succeed
without proper training of correctional leaders and staff.
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 correctional leadership and training in each participating
country and to explore more effective ways to enhance it. Additionally, the participants wereable to share experiences, gain knowledge, and build a human network of counterparts.
During the Course, the participants diligently and comprehensively examined the course
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 each other—theparticipants are now better equipped to train future leaders in corrections and probation.
The participants of the 161st International Training Course also had the unique opportunity to attend the 25th Anniversary Seminar of the Tokyo Rules, which was hosted by UNAFEI
from 7 to 9 September 2015. Presentations were made by experts from the UNODC, member
institutes (HEUNI ISPAC, KIC and CCLS) of the United Nations Crime Prevention andCriminal Justice Programme Network, and the Thailand Institute of Justice. The Seminarprovided an opportunity to reflect upon the 25-year history of the Tokyo Rules and the importance of non-custodial measures in correctional policy and practice, as well as to consider theneed for and challenges facing full implementation of the Tokyo Rules in Asia and around theworld.
I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to all of the participants upon their successful 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.

2
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 branch organizations for their substantial contributions to our activities. Lastly, I owe my gratitude to all theindividuals 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 161st 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 161ST INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE
STAFF TRAINING FOR CORRECTIONAL LEADERSHIP
Course Rationale

To realize a safe society without crime, it is crucial for criminal justice organizations toperform law-enforcement duties as well as enhance their organizational strength. Criminal
justice organizations should maximize the performance of their staffs through appropriate
training and the recruitment of quality staff members. Therefore, capacity building is the oneof the most important and urgent issues that criminal justice organizations must address. This
training course considered the planning and development of appropriate capacity-building programmes, taking into account the current situation surrounding each criminal justice organization.
A. 		 Enhancing Organizational Strength1.
Developing an Organizational Culture of Integrity
Proper criminal justice administration requires the development of high-integrity
personnel as well as the prevention of illegal behaviour such as corruption, inappropriate
treatment of offenders, and so on. Once misconduct occurs, in addition to the negative impacts
caused to the administration of the criminal justice system, the criminal justice organization
might begin to lose the public trust, thus complicating its mission of achieving a safe society.
Accordingly, it is important to develop effective capacity building programmes, to develop
high-integrity personnel and an organizational culture that prevents misconduct.
2.	Stress Management for Correctional Personnel; Passing Knowledge and Experience to
the Next Generation
Because many young officers quit their jobs early due to stressful work environments,
passing knowledge and experience from the older generation to the younger generation is an
important issue for criminal justice organizations. If this situation is not addressed, it will
weaken the strength of the organization. Therefore, it is essential to develop an effective
capacity building programme for passing knowledge and experience from the older generation
to the younger generation, as well as for enhancing organizational strength, taking stress management into account.
3.

Promoting International Cooperation for Capacity Building
In an effort to develop quality correctional staff, it is important to interact with overseasorganizations through international training courses or seminars. Through exchanging current
good practices and international trends from around the world, those courses and seminars
present a better opportunity for participants not only to contribute to future law and policy
making but also to broaden the participant’s horizons and develop big-picture thinking skills.
Therefore, it is quite meaningful to promote international training courses and seminars forcapacity building.

4B.		 Developing Effective Training Curricula1.
Training Staff with High Expertise
In order to deal with diversified and complicated crimes, it is crucial to train staff withhigh expertise. For example, in addition to the expertise of specific areas (e.g. law, sociology,
criminology, psychology and education), cross-cutting approaches are necessary to treat
difficult offenders such as members of criminal organizations, sex offenders, drug offenders,
repeated offenders, and other difficult offenders. Therefore, the organizers of training programmes should realize the importance of cross-cutting approaches to formulate the training
curricula.
2.

Understanding and Respecting International Standards and Norms as Guidance
Policy makers and administrators of criminal justice systems should understand andrespect the content of international standards and norms, because these international standards
and norms address important aspects of criminal justice administration, such as appropriate
procedures for criminal justice, protection of human rights, treatment of offenders and so on.
Therefore, criminal justice organizations should not only train policy makers and practitioners
according to domestic laws but also the contents and ideals of international standards andnorms.
3.

Organizing Training Based on Effective Teaching Methods
For productive training, it is essential to organize lectures, group work and other activities based on effective methods. For example, organizers of trainings should introduce
effective teaching methods according to the content of the training and each trainee’s characteristics, in order to convey the content of the lecture to many staff members in an efficient
way within a limited time, with the aim of maximizing the success of the lecture.
C. 		 Objectives of the Programme
However, some organizations have not implemented sufficient staff training due to thelack of understanding of its importance. Yet even if they understand the importance of staff
training, there are still obstacles to sufficient staff training, such as the lack of humanresources, effective training methods, and so on.
This Programme offered participants an opportunity to deepen their understanding andshare experiences and knowledge on (i) practices and measures for the capacity building of
personnel, (ii) important international standards and norms related to the capacity building of
personnel, (iii) effective training methods. Another objective of the Programme was toestablish a global network of counterparts to facilitate the exchange of updated information on
country practices.
In order to achieve these objectives, this Programme provided an opportunity to identify
and examine current situations and challenges existing in the participants’ countries, and build
the participants’ knowledge of possible measures to improve current practice.
The following objectives and topics were addressed via lectures and the participants’dialogue and discussions.
1)

Course Summary
Lectures
Including the lectures during the Tokyo Rules 25th Anniversary Seminar, the participants attended 38 lectures, including 10 presented by the visiting experts, 2 by ad hoc lecturers
and 13 by the faculty of UNAFEI. Three distinguished criminal justice practitioners served as
UNAFEI’s visiting experts. They lectured on issues relating to the main theme of the Courseand contributed significantly beyond their lectures by encouraging discussions after theirlectures, participating in the discussions of other programmes, and conversing with the participants on informal occasions. Additionally, the ad hoc lectures were delivered by officials fromJapan’s Training Institute for Correctional Personnel and the Rehabilitation Support Divisionof the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. The lecturers and lecture topics are listed on
pages 7 to 8.
Individual Presentations
During the second week of the course, all participants delivered individual presentations
which introduced the situation, problems and future prospects of the participants’ 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 9 to 10.
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 as chairpersons, 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 weredrafted 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. Briefsummaries of the group workshop reports are provided on pages 11 to 12.
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 13 to 15.

Report SummaryGroup 1 addressed four common issues for improving organizational strength in the correctional setting: (A) developing an organizational culture of integrity, (B) stress management
for correctional personnel, (C) passing knowledge and experience to the next generation, and(D) promoting cooperation in capacity building with other organizations.
Regarding organizational integrity, the group members reported that their systems havecontrolled systematic corruption, but they stressed the need for vigilance to address thepotential for corruption, like the introduction of contraband into correctional facilities. In
response, the group identified a number of measures such as regular vetting of officials, strict
anti-corruption enforcement, payment of adequate salaries, asset declaration, video-recorded
investigations, and so on. In addition, all members recognized the need to deal with issues of
unnecessary force, abusive language, and human rights abuses. Appropriate measures include
oversight by human rights organizations, creating channels for reporting complaints, andcreating training programmes and standards of conduct for correctional officers.
The group also recognized that stress among correctional staff is common in all
countries due to the stressful nature of the job, insufficient resources (including low pay andinsufficient manpower), poor working environments (including exposure to disease, poor
housing, etc.), high expectations of each staff member, and social development. Measures
should be taken to reduce stress, such as “health and balanced lifestyle” campaigns, promoting
family relationships through sports, music, family fun days, etc., regular thematic talks amongstaff, improving staff quarters, and establishment of a “staff complaint register”.
Succession planning is extremely important to pass knowledge to the next generationand maintain institutional stability. The group reported that the following actions have beentaken in some countries: (1) comprehensive training programmes, (2) job rotation and internship programmes for staff, (3) written policy, emergency and training manuals, (4) mentoring
and coaching schemes, (5) cooperation with academic bodies to research the success of the
training curriculum, (6) stipulation of clear career paths for young officers, (7) standardizationof training materials and content to ensure the quality of training, and (8) the use of e-learning
to expand training coverage and reduce the need for resources.
On the issue of cooperation with other organizations, criminal justice authorities are
expected to do more than just lock up offenders. To enhance the ability of these authorities tomeet modern correctional expectations, it is necessary to collaborate with outside organizations, such as academic institutions, local governmental agencies, and overseas counterparts.

Advisers
Report SummaryGroup 2 addressed the topic of “Developing Effective Training Curricula” based on thefollowing agenda: (1) training staff with high expertise, (2) understanding and respecting international standards as guidance, and (3) the use of effective training methods. The group emphasized that it is important to improve service delivery by implementing effective training
curricula. Training must be in line with the mission, vision and goals of the correctional
system.
Effective training for correctional personnel should be interdisciplinary and designed toaddress the needs of specific groups of offenders; offender classification and risk assessment
are very important tools in this regard. Disciplines like sociology, criminology and psychology
are important for addressing the treatment needs of drug, sex and human-trafficking offenders,
as well as offenders with links to terrorism. For example, training for the treatment of drug
offenders should include measures ranging from effective search methods to sensitizing correctional staff to the negative effects of drug abuse, signs of withdrawal and so on.
The group agreed that training curricula should be in line with United Nations standards
and norms, such as the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (The Mandela
Rules) and the Standard Minimum Rules for Non-custodial Measures (The Tokyo Rules). For
example, training curricula should incorporate the Tokyo Rules by emphasizing concepts ofdepenalization and decriminalization, encouraging the use of diversion programmes, legal
safeguards to protect the dignity and privacy of the offender and the confidentiality of personal
records, and training on the preparation of factual and objective social inquiry reports.
To create effective training programmes, the group emphasized the importance of
selecting the best training methods by conducting a needs assessment before implementing thetraining. To conduct such an assessment, it is important to identify: key characteristics of the
trainer and the participants (human characteristics), the social and cultural conditions of theparticipants (social factors), key subject areas, and time and material factors. Once the properneeds have been identified, the training must be matched with the most appropriate training
method, such as brainstorming, lectures, group discussion, role playing, mentorship, casestudies, study tours, the use of experts, and demonstrations. Likewise, effective training
materials must be created, such as training manuals and lesson plans, relevant laws andpolicies, the use of experts, photographs and pictures, radio and television documentaries, andworking tools.
In conclusion, Group 2 stressed the importance of developing a national systematictraining framework and conducting impact evaluation of all training programmes. Further conclusions and detailed examples of correctional training curricula and objectives are containedin the group workshop report, which will be published in a forthcoming issue of UNAFEI’s
Resource Material Series.
