Editorial Note

Setsuo Miyazawa Professor of Law, Kobe University

On the occasion of and in conjunction with the 12th International Con­ gress in Seoul, Korea on August 24-29, 1998, the Kobe Pre-Congress Confer­ ence 98 "Organized Crime and Organizational Crime: Frontiers in Research, Theory, and Policy" was held on August 19-21, 1998, at the Design Re­ search Institute on the Port Island, Kobe, . Under its Honorary Chair­ person, Professor Koichi Miyazawa of Chuo University, the Organizing Com­ mittee was chaired by myself, and included President Ichiro Tanioka of Osaka University of Commerce. Professor Tatsuya Ota of Keio University. Professor Naoyuki Murakami of Kobe College, and Mr. Yutaka Harada of the National Research Institute of Police Science. Its Secretariat was headed by Ms. Minae Osawa of Osaka University of Commerce, and in­ cluded Mr. Keiichi Ageishi, Ms. Akiko Hasegawa, Ms. Nobuko Ito, Ms. Sayaka Kozaki. Mr. Hiroshi Otsuka, and Ms. Nozomi Watanabe of Kobe Uni­ versity, Ms. Miyuki Arimoto of Kwansei Gakuin University. Mr. Tatsuya Fujie of the University of California at Berkeley, Ms. Tomoko Hoshino of Osaka Women's Junior College. and Ms. Reiko Morimoto of Osaka Univer­ sity of Commerce. The conference was bifocal: both "organized crime" and "organizational crime" were discussed. As in the case of corporate crimes in Japan which of­ ten involve boryokudan (organized crime) or sokaiya (professional corpo­ rate extortionists), these two forms of crime are not always separate, and their interactions were also to be discussed at this conference. Papers deal­ ing with recent research, theoretical progress, or policy development were sought. The Yoshie Miyazawa Memorial Fund for the Promotion of Criminal Jus- , tice Studies provided travel grants for four invited speakers, while the Brit­ ish Council provided a travel grant to one invited speaker. Osaka Univer­ sity of Commerce, the owner of the Design Research Institute, offered the In­ stitute as the conference site without charge. Osaka University of Com­ merce also provided logistical support by its staff.
