This volume contains the Annual Report for 2018 and the work produced in the 171st International Senior Seminar, conducted from 9 January to 7 February 2019. The main theme of the 171st Seminar was the Criminal Justice Response to Crimes Motivated by Intolerance and Discrimination. In order to suppress intolerance crimes effectively, it is necessary to establish proper legal bases to punish intolerance crimes, such as by adopting penalty enhancement or other substantive offences. During investigation, criminal justice authorities must seek and identify bias indicators, that is, adequate evidence to prove the offender’s intolerant or discriminatory motives. Moreover, it is essential to take steps to build public confidence in law enforcement in order to facilitate cooperation with investigations. This can be done by establishing positive professional relationships with victims and victim communities and by implementing witness protection and other measures that provide broader assistance (e.g. access to victim support services). When crimes are motivated by discrimination or intolerance, imposing a penalty alone may not be sufficient to prevent the offender from committing further crimes. Thus, it is important to administer proper interventions, including those aimed at correcting the offender’s biased or discriminatory thoughts, and utilization of the restorative justice approach. UNAFEI, as one of the institutes of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme Network, held this Seminar to explore various issues that relate to crimes involving intolerance and discrimination. This issue of the Resource Material Series, in regard to the 171st International Senior Seminar, contains papers contributed by visiting experts and selected individual-presentation papers from among the participants. I regret that not all the papers submitted by the participants of the Seminar could be published. I would like to pay tribute to the contributions of the Government of Japan, particularly the Ministry of Justice, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and the Asia Crime Prevention Foundation, for providing indispensable and unwavering support to UNAFEI’s international training programmes. Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all who so unselfishly assisted in the publication of this series.

ROLE AND MANDATE The Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI) was established in Tokyo, Japan in 1962 pursuant to an agreement between the United Nations and the Government of Japan. Its goal is to contribute to sound social development in the Asia and the Pacific region by promoting regional cooperation in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice, through training and research. UNAFEI has paid utmost attention to the priority themes identified by the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. Moreover, UNAFEI has been taking up urgent, contemporary problems in the administration of criminal justice in the region, especially problems generated by rapid socio-economic change (e.g., transnational organized crime, corruption, economic and computer crime and the reintegration of prisoners into society) as the main themes and topics for its training courses, seminars and research projects. II. TRAINING Training is the principal area and priority of the Institute's work programmes. In the international training courses and seminars, participants from different areas of the criminal justice field discuss and study pressing problems of criminal justice administration from various perspectives. They deepen their understanding, with the help of lectures and advice from the UNAFEI faculty, visiting experts and ad hoc lecturers. This so-called "problem-solving through an integrated approach" is one of the chief characteristics of UNAFEI programmes. Each year, UNAFEI conducts two international training courses (six
