### 4. Measures against the Intervention of Boryokudans in Civil Affairs and Boryokudan Elimination Movements

The police have worked closely with the Prefectural Centers to Promote Movements for Elimination of Boryokudan (hereafter “the Centers”) and bar associations to establish a Study Group of Violation for Citizens. This study group works to facilitate an exchange of information on violence against the government administration, carries out civil litigation support and assists with other measures which help to alleviate damage caused by Boryokudans and put a stop to damage caused by unjust demands from Boryokudans.

## (1) Measures to Eliminate Violence against Government Bodies

Illegal and unjust acts by anti-social forces such as Boryokudans targeted at government bodies and their employees for the purpose of making illicit profits have become more prominent.

The police are promoting elimination measures for violence against government bodies by anti-social elements, by conducting support, guidance and training for people such as civil servants in change of the prevention of unjust demands against government bodies. This is carried out in association with the Centers and bar associations, and through compliance with compliant by laws which lay out the organizational response in regards to supporting and introducing organizational measures against the unjust demands of Boryokudans.
