Section 1 Role of the Recidivism Prevention Plan in Various Initiatives to Prevent Recidivism

〔再犯の現状と再犯防止対策の必要性・重要性〕

[Current Status of Recidivism; Necessity and Importance of Recidivism Prevention Measures]

我が国の刑法犯の認知件数は平成８年以降毎年戦後最多を記録し、平成１４年にピークを迎えた。これを受け、政府は国民の安全・安心な暮らしを守るべく、平成１５年に犯罪対策閣僚会議を設置し、主に犯罪の抑止を喫緊の課題として様々な取組を進めた。その結果、平成１５年以降刑法犯の認知件数は１４年連続で減少し、平成２８年は戦後最少となった。

Beginning in 1996, Japan's numbers of reported cases of penal code offenses reached record postwar highs every year, peaking in 2002. In response to this, the national government established the Ministerial Commission on Crime Control in 2003, and advanced various efforts, setting crime deterrence as the main urgent issue. As a result, beginning in 2003, the number of reported cases of penal code offenses has been declining for 14 years in a row, and reached a postwar low in 2016.

他方で、刑法犯により検挙された再犯者については、平成１８年をピークとして、その後は漸減状態にあるものの、それを上回るペースで初犯者の人員も減少し続けているため、検挙人員に占める再犯者の人員の比率（以下「再犯者率」という。）は一貫して上昇し続け、平成２８年には現在と同様の統計を取り始めた昭和４７年以降最も高い４８．７パーセントとなった。

On the other hand, although the number of repeat offenders arrested due to penal code offenses has been gradually decreasing after reaching its peak in 2006, since the number of first-time offenders has been continuously decreasing at a faster pace, repeat offenders' proportion of the total number of persons arrested (hereinafter referred to as the "ratio of repeat offenders") has been consistently increasing, reaching 48.7% in 2016; this represents the highest rate since 1972, when statistics comparable to those currently available started to be maintained.

平成１９年版犯罪白書は、戦後約６０年間にわたる犯歴記録の分析結果等を基に、全検挙者のうちの約３割に当たる再犯者によって約６割の犯罪が行われていること、再犯者による罪は窃盗、傷害及び覚せい剤取締法違反が多いこと、刑事司法関係機関がそれぞれ再犯防止という刑事政策上の目的を強く意識し、相互に連携して職務を遂行することはもとより、就労、教育、保健医療・福祉等関係機関や民間団体等とも密接に連携する必要があること、犯罪者の更生に対する国民や地域社会の理解を促進していく必要があることを示し、国民が安全・安心に暮らすことができる社会の実現の観点から、再犯防止対策を推進する必要性と重要性を指摘した。

Based on things such as the results of an analysis of criminal records spanning a period of approximately 60 years following the end of World War II, the 2007 White Paper on Crime indicated that approximately 60% of all crime is committed by repeat offenders who account for approximately 30% of all persons arrested; that many of the crimes committed by repeat offenders are theft, injury, and violation of the Stimulants Control Act; that not only should organizations in the criminal justice system perform their duties through mutual coordination with a strong awareness of the purpose of the crime policy that recidivism prevention constitutes, but that they should also closely collaborate with employment, education, health, medical, welfare and other institutions and with private-sector organizations and other entities; and that it is necessary to facilitate an understanding of offender rehabilitation among the people and local communities; the White Paper further pointed out the necessity and importance of advancing measures to prevent recidivism from the viewpoint of creating a society in which people can live with safety and security.

〔政府におけるこれまでの再犯防止に向けた取組〕

[Previous Government Efforts to Prevent Recidivism]

再犯防止対策の必要性・重要性が認識されるようになったことを受け、平成２４年７月には、再犯の防止は政府一丸となって取り組むべき喫緊の課題という認識の下、犯罪対策閣僚会議において、我が国の刑事政策に初めて数値目標を盛り込んだ「再犯防止に向けた総合対策」（以下「総合対策」という。）を決定した。総合対策においては、「出所等した年を含む２年間における刑務所等に再入所する者の割合（以下「２年以内再入率」という。）を平成３３年までに２０パーセント以上減少させる。」という数値目標を設定した。

With the necessity and importance of measures to prevent recidivism having been acknowledged, in July 2012, the Ministerial Commission on Crime Control established the Comprehensive Measures to Prevent Recidivism (hereinafter referred to as "the Comprehensive Measures"), which included a numerical target for criminal policies―a first for Japan―based on the recognition that preventing recidivism is an urgent challenge which the national government must unite in confronting. The numerical target established in the Comprehensive Measures called for the government to "decrease the proportion of persons who are re-imprisoned within two years of their release from prison (hereinafter referred to as the "two-year re-imprisonment rate") by at least 20% by 2021".

平成２５年１２月には、平成３２年（２０２０年）のオリンピック・パラリンピック東京大会の開催に向け、犯罪の繰り返しを食い止める再犯防止対策の推進も盛り込んだ「「世界一安全な日本」創造戦略」を閣議決定した。

In December 2013, in the lead up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Cabinet passed a decision adopting the Strategy to Make Japan the Safest Country in the World, which includes advancing measures to prevent recidivism in order to stop crime from becoming recurrent.

平成２６年１２月には、犯罪対策閣僚会議において、「宣言：犯罪に戻らない・戻さない～立ち直りをみんなで支える明るい社会へ～」（以下「宣言」という。）を決定した。宣言においては、「平成３２年（２０２０年）までに、犯罪や非行をした者の事情を理解した上で雇用している企業の数を現在（平成２６年）の３倍にする。」、「平成３２年（２０２０年）までに、帰るべき場所がないまま刑務所から社会に戻る者の数を３割以上減少させる。」という数値目標を設定した。

In December 2014, the Ministerial Commission on Crime Control passed the Declaration: No Returning to Crime, No Facilitating Other's Return to Crime―We Will Work Toward a Bright Future in a Society Where We All Support Rehabilitation (hereinafter referred to as "the Declaration"). The Declaration established numerical targets for the government to "triple the number of companies willing to employ persons who have committed crimes or delinquent acts after gaining an understanding of their circumstances, by 2020" and to "reduce the number of people returning to society from prisons who have no place to go back to by at least 30 percent, by 2020".

平成２８年７月には、犯罪対策閣僚会議において、薬物依存者や犯罪をした高齢者又は障害のある者等に対して刑事司法のあらゆる段階のみならず、刑事司法手続終了後を含めた「息の長い」支援の実施を盛り込んだ「薬物依存者・高齢犯罪者等の再犯防止緊急対策～立ち直りに向けた“息の長い”支援につながるネットワーク構築～」（以下「緊急対策」という。）を決定した。

In July 2016, the Ministerial Commission on Crime Control approved Emergency Measures to Prevent Recidivism by Persons with Drug Dependencies, Elderly Offenders, and Others―Establishment of a Long-Term Support Network to Facilitate Rehabilitation (hereinafter referred to as "the Emergency Measures"), which includes the implementation of long-term support for persons with drug dependencies, and for offenders such as those who are elderly or who have a disability not only at every stage of the criminal justice process but also after the closing of criminal justice proceedings.

さらに、国民の安全と安心を確保することは、我が国の経済活性化の基盤であるとの観点から、平成１７年６月に閣議決定した「経済財政運営と構造改革に関する基本方針２００５」（いわゆる「骨太の方針」）に、初めて「再犯の防止」を盛り込んで以降、「骨太の方針２０１７」まで継続して「再犯防止対策」を盛り込んできた。

Furthermore, beginning in June 2005, when, from the standpoint that ensuring the safety and security of citizens is fundamental to Japan's economic revitalization, "preventing recidivism" was included for the first time in the 2005 Basic Policies for Economic and Fiscal Management and Structural Reform (what is generally called the "Bold policy") that were adopted by Cabinet decision, "measures to prevent recidivism" continued to be included in the " Bold policy" until 2017.

こうした取組により、「総合対策」及び「宣言」において設定された各数値目標の達成は道半ばではあるものの、２年以内再入率が減少するなど、相当の成果が認められた。

While the numerical targets set in the Comprehensive Measures and Declaration are yet to be achieved, the efforts mentioned above have brought about considerable results, such as a decrease in the two-year re-imprisonment rate.

〔再犯防止に向けた取組の課題〕

[Challenges of Efforts to Prevent Recidivism]

再犯の防止等のためには、犯罪等を未然に防止する取組を着実に実施することに加え、捜査・公判を適切に運用することを通じて適正な科刑を実現することはもとより、犯罪をした者等が、犯罪の責任等を自覚すること及び犯罪被害者の心情等を理解すること並びに自ら社会復帰のために努力することが重要であることはいうまでもない。刑事司法関係機関はこれらを支える取組を実施してきたが、刑事司法関係機関による取組のみではその内容や範囲に限界が生じている。こうした中、貧困や疾病、嗜癖、障害、厳しい生育環境、不十分な学歴など様々な生きづらさを抱える犯罪をした者等が地域社会で孤立しないための「息の長い」支援等刑事司法関係機関のみによる取組を超えた政府・地方公共団体・民間協力者が一丸となった取組を実施する必要性が指摘されるようになった。これを受け、最良の刑事政策としての最良の社会政策を実施すべく、これまでの刑事司法関係機関による取組を真摯に見直すことはもとより、国、地方公共団体、再犯の防止等に関する活動を行う民間の団体その他の関係者が緊密に連携協力して総合的に施策を講じることが課題として認識されるようになった。また、再犯の防止等に関する取組は、平成３２年（２０２０年）に我が国において開催される第１４回国際連合犯罪防止刑事司法会議（コングレス）の重要論点の一つとして位置付けられるなど、国際社会においても重要な課題として認識されている。

In order to prevent recidivism, not only is it important for the government to implement fair sentencing by appropriately running investigations and criminal trials in addition to steadily implementing efforts to prevent crime and delinquency, but it is also important for persons who have committed offenses to become conscious of things such as their responsibility for their offenses, to understand the feelings of their victims and others, and to make their own efforts to reintegrate into society. Organizations in the criminal justice system have been implementing efforts to support these things, but we have reached the limits of what their efforts alone can achieve in terms of the contents and scope. Given these circumstances, some have suggested that it is necessary for the national government, local governments, and cooperating members of the private sector to implement concerted efforts that go beyond the lone efforts made by organizations in the criminal justice system, such as long-term support to prevent persons who have committed offenses who are facing various difficulties in their lives, such as poverty, illness, addiction, disabilities, harsh developmental environments, and insufficient educational backgrounds, from being isolated from the local community. In response to these suggestions, a sincere review of the previous efforts made by organizations in the criminal justice system and the comprehensive implementation of initiatives with close coordination and cooperation among the State, local governments, private-sector organizations and other persons concerned that carry out activities to prevent recidivism came to be regarded as constituting the challenges for implementing the best public policies as the best criminal policies. In addition, efforts to prevent recidivism are regarded as one of the key issues to be discussed at the Fourteenth United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, which is to be held in Japan in 2020; this is also recognized as a key issue by the international community.

〔再犯の防止等の推進に関する法律の制定と再犯防止推進計画の策定〕

[Enactment of the Act for the Prevention of Recidivism and Formulation of the Recidivism Prevention Plan]

そのような中、平成２８年１２月、再犯の防止等に関する国及び地方公共団体の責務を明らかにするとともに、再犯の防止等に関する施策を総合的かつ計画的に推進していく基本事項を示した「再犯の防止等の推進に関する法律」（平成２８年法律第１０４号、以下「推進法」という。）が制定され、同月に施行された。推進法において、政府は、再犯の防止等に関する施策の総合的かつ計画的な推進を図るため、再犯防止推進計画（以下「推進計画」という。）を策定するとされた。

Given such circumstances, in December 2016, the Act for the Prevention of Recidivism (Act No. 104 of 2016; hereinafter referred to as the "Prevention Act") was enacted and came into force, clarifying the responsibilities of the State and local governments with regard to preventing recidivism and laying down basic points to comprehensively and systematically advance initiatives to prevent recidivism. The Prevention Act provides for the national government to formulate a Recidivism Prevention Plan (hereinafter referred to as "the Prevention Plan") to achieve comprehensive and systematic advancement of initiatives to prevent recidivism.

政府は、推進法の施行を受け、平成２８年１２月に犯罪対策閣僚会議の下に新たに法務大臣が議長を務め、関係省庁の局長等を構成員とする「再犯防止対策推進会議」を閣議口頭了解により設置した。また、平成２９年２月には、推進計画案の具体的内容を検討する場として、法務副大臣を議長とし、関係省庁の課長等や外部有識者を構成員とする「再犯防止推進計画等検討会」（以下「検討会」という。）を設置し、検討会における計９回にわたる議論等を経て、推進計画の案を取りまとめ、ここに推進計画を定めるに至った。

In response to the entry into force of the Prevention Act, the national government newly established the Council for Advancing Measures to Prevent Recidivism, chaired by the Minister of Justice and consisting of the heads of the relevant ministries and agencies, under the Ministerial Commission on Crime Control, through a verbal affirmation at a Cabinet meeting. In addition, in February 2017, the national government established the Study Group on the Recidivism Prevention Plan (hereinafter referred to as "the Study Group") as a forum to discuss the details of the draft Prevention Plan, chaired by the Senior Vice-Minister of Justice and consisting of the directors of the divisions of the relevant ministries and agencies and external experts. Over the course of discussions held at a total of nine Study-Group sessions, the draft Prevention Plan was compiled and has now come to be established.

第２基本方針

Section 2 Basic Policies

基本方針は、犯罪をした者等が、円滑に社会の一員として復帰することができるようにすることで、国民が犯罪による被害を受けることを防止し、安全で安心して暮らせる社会の実現に寄与するという目的を達成するために、個々の施策の策定・実施や連携に際し、実施者が目指すべき方向・視点を示すものである。

The basic policies show the direction and viewpoints toward which persons implementing the relevant initiatives should orient themselves in formulating and implementing individual initiatives or coordinating with other parties concerned in order to prevent people from becoming victims of crime and achieve the goal of contributing to the creation of a society in which people can live safely and with peace of mind, by enabling persons who have committed offenses to smoothly reintegrate into society.

推進法は、第３条において「基本理念」を掲げているところであり、施策の実施者が目指すべき方向・視点は、この基本理念を踏まえて設定すべきである。

The Prevention Act sets forth Fundamental Principles in Article 3, and the direction and viewpoints toward which persons implementing the relevant initiatives should orient themselves should be established based on these fundamental principles.

そこで、推進法第３条に掲げられた基本理念を基に、以下の５つの基本方針を設定する。

Accordingly, based on the fundamental principles set forth in Article 3 of the Prevention Act, the following five basic policies are established.

〔５つの基本方針〕

[Five Basic Policies]

①犯罪をした者等が、多様化が進む社会において孤立することなく、再び社会を構成する一員となることができるよう、あらゆる者と共に歩む「誰一人取り残さない」社会の実現に向け、関係行政機関が相互に緊密な連携をしつつ、地方公共団体・民間の団体その他の関係者との緊密な連携協力をも確保し、再犯の防止等に関する施策を総合的に推進すること。

(i) Having the relevant administrative organs comprehensively advance initiatives to prevent recidivism by securing close coordination and cooperation with local governments, private-sector organizations, and other persons concerned, while maintaining close coordination among themselves to create a society where everyone walks down the pathway of life together, with not a single person left behind, so that persons who have committed offenses can become constituent members of society again without becoming isolated, in a diversifying society.

②犯罪をした者等が、その特性に応じ、刑事司法手続のあらゆる段階において、切れ目なく、再犯を防止するために必要な指導及び支援を受けられるようにすること。

(ii) Enabling persons who have committed offenses to receive the necessary guidance and support to prevent recidivism in a seamless manner at every stage of the criminal justice process, based on their individual attributes.

③再犯の防止等に関する施策は、生命を奪われる、身体的・精神的苦痛を負わされる、あるいは財産的被害を負わされるといった被害に加え、それらに劣らぬ事後的な精神的苦痛・不安にさいなまれる犯罪被害者等が存在することを十分に認識して行うとともに、犯罪をした者等が、犯罪の責任等を自覚し、犯罪被害者の心情等を理解し、自ら社会復帰のために努力することの重要性を踏まえて行うこと。

(iii) Implementing initiatives to prevent recidivism based on a sufficient recognition that, in addition to the damage caused by having a life taken from them, being subjected to physical or psychological injury, or having to suffer damage to their property, there are crime victims and others who also have to deal with equally damaging post-traumatic mental distress and anxiety, and in light of the importance of having persons who have committed offenses become conscious of things such as their responsibility for their offenses, to understand the feelings of victims and others, and to make their own efforts to reintegrate into society.

④再犯の防止等に関する施策は、犯罪及び非行の実態、効果検証及び調査研究の成果等を踏まえ、必要に応じて再犯の防止等に関する活動を行う民間の団体その他の関係者から意見聴取するなどして見直しを行い、社会情勢等に応じた効果的なものとすること。

(iv) Reworking initiatives to prevent recidivism to make them effective initiatives that are tailored to things such as the social conditions, after hearing opinions from private-sector organizations that carry out activities to prevent recidivism and other persons concerned, as needed, in light of things such as the real state of offenses and delinquency, effectiveness evaluations, and the results of research and study.

⑤国民にとって再犯の防止等に関する施策は身近なものではないという現状を十分に認識し、更生の意欲を有する犯罪をした者等が、責任ある社会の構成員として受け入れられるよう、再犯の防止等に関する取組を、分かりやすく効果的に広報するなどして、広く国民の関心と理解が得られるものとしていくこと。

(v) Having sufficiently recognized that, currently, initiatives to prevent recidivism are not something to which the people feel connected, making it possible for efforts to prevent recidivism to broadly increase people's interest and understanding through actions such as easy-to-understand and effective public relations efforts, so that persons who have committed offenses who are willing to rehabilitate themselves are accepted as responsible members of society..

第３重点課題

Section 3 Major Challenges

再犯防止施策は、極めて多岐にわたるが、推進法第２章が規定する基本的施策に基づき、以下に掲げる７つの課題に整理した。これらの課題は相互に密接に関係していることから、関係府省庁が施策を実施するに当たっては、各課題に対する当該施策の位置付けを明確に認識することはもとより、施策間の有機的関連を意識しつつ総合的な視点で取り組んでいく必要がある。

Although measures to prevent recidivism are extremely wide ranging, they have been organized around the following seven challenges, based on the basic initiatives provided in Chapter 2 of the Prevention Act. Since these challenges are closely connected to one another, not only is it necessary for the relevant ministries and agencies to clearly recognize the roles of the relevant initiatives in each challenge, but it is also important for them to implement those initiatives from a comprehensive viewpoint while focusing on the organic relationships among them.

推進計画に盛り込まれた個々の施策のうち、実施可能なものは速やかに実施することとする。これらの施策のうち、実施のための検討を要するものについては、本推進計画において検討の方向性を明示しているので、単独の省庁で行うものについては原則１年以内に、複数省庁にまたがるものや大きな制度改正を必要とするものは原則２年以内に結論を出し、それぞれ、その結論に基づき施策を実施することとする。

The individual initiatives contained in the Prevention Plan that it is feasible to implement are to be implemented promptly. For those of these initiatives that require consideration before being implemented, since the Prevention Plan gives a clear direction towards which considerations should be oriented, the relevant ministry or agency is to draw a conclusion within one year, in principle, for initiatives to be implemented by a single ministry or agency, and within two years, in principle, for those to be implemented by multiple ministries and agencies or those requiring major systemic reforms, and is to implement the initiative based on that conclusion.

推進計画に盛り込まれた施策については、犯罪対策閣僚会議の下に設置された再犯防止対策推進会議において、定期的に施策の進捗状況を確認するとともに、施策の実施の推進を図ることとする。

The Council for Advancing Measures to Prevent Recidivism established under the Ministerial Commission on Crime Control is to periodically confirm the progress of initiatives contained in the Prevention Plan and advance their implementation.

また、「総合対策」及び「宣言」において設定された各数値目標については、推進計画に盛り込まれた施策の速やかな実施により、その確実な達成を図る。

In addition, the achievement of the numerical targets set in the Comprehensive Measures and the Declaration is to be secured through prompt implementation of the initiatives contained in the Prevention Plan.

第２　就労・住居の確保等のための取組（推進法第12条、第14条、第15条、第16条、第21条関係）

Section 2 Efforts to Secure Employment and Housing; Related Efforts (Re: Articles 12, 14, 15, 16 and 21 of the Prevention Act)

１．就労の確保等

1. Securing employment; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

刑務所に再び入所した者のうち約７割が、再犯時に無職であった者となっている。また、仕事に就いていない者の再犯率は、仕事に就いている者の再犯率と比べて約３倍と高く、不安定な就労が再犯リスクとなっていることが明らかになっている。

Approximately 70% of persons who have been re-imprisoned were unemployed at the time they reoffended. In addition, compared to the recidivism rate among persons who are employed, the recidivism rate among persons who are unemployed is approximately three times higher; it is obvious that unstable employment puts people at a risk for recidivism.

政府においては、「宣言」に基づき、矯正施設における社会のニーズに合った職業訓練・指導の実施、矯正就労支援情報センター室（通称「コレワーク」）の設置を始めとする矯正施設・保護観察所・ハローワークが連携した求人・求職のマッチングの強化、協力雇用主の開拓・拡大、刑務所出所者等就労奨励金制度の導入、国による保護観察対象者の雇用等の様々な施策に取り組んできた。

The national government has been working on a variety of initiatives, such as implementing vocational training and guidance that meet the needs of society at correctional institutions, strengthening the matching between job postings and job searches in collaboration between correctional institutions, probation offices, and public employment security offices through measures such as the establishment of Employment Support Information Center for Correction (commonly known as "Corre-Work"）， finding and increasing cooperating employers, introducing an incentive system for employing probationers and parolees, and the State's employment of probationers or parolees .

しかしながら、前科等があることに加え、求職活動を行う上で必要な知識・資格等を有していないなどのために求職活動が円滑に進まない場合があること、社会人としてのマナーや対人関係の形成や維持のために必要な能力を身に付けていないなどのために職場での人間関係を十分に構築できない、あるいは自らの能力に応じた適切な職業選択ができないなどにより、一旦就職しても離職してしまう場合があること、協力雇用主となりながらも実際の雇用に結びついていない企業等が多いこと、犯罪をした者等の中には、障害の程度が福祉的支援を受けられる程度ではないものの、一般就労をすることも難しい者が少なからず存在することなどの課題がある。

However, there are challenges: in addition to having a previous conviction, some fail to see smooth progress in the job search due to lack of the necessary knowledge or professional credentials when searching for a job; even having found employment, some persons who have committed offenses end up leaving their jobs for reasons such as the inability to sufficiently forge personal relationships in the workplace due to lack of familiarity with the etiquette required of people as members of the workforce or due to not having learned the skills needed to form or maintain interpersonal relationships, or for reasons such as the inability to make appropriate occupational choices that match with their abilities; there are also many enterprises and others that have become cooperating employers but that have not actually employed persons who have committed offenses; and, some persons who have committed offenses have disabilities that, although not of a level that qualifies them to receive welfare support, still make it difficult to engage in ordinary employment.

(2) 具体的施策

(2) Specific initiatives

Based on the conclusions reached as a result of these examinations, the Ministry of Justice will advance efforts to enable sentenced persons to receive vocational training outside a correctional institution or to visit cooperating employers and other such persons by actively utilizing the external work system or measures such as day-passes or furloughs with the understanding and support of the local community in which the correctional institution is located, while strengthening the system for implementing vocational training at correctional institutions by enhancing on-the-job training for the personnel of correctional institutions and promoting participation by the relevant organizations in the vocational training and other activities undertaken at correctional institutions. [Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications; Ministry of Justice; Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare]

The Ministry of Justice will examine the appropriate way of restricting employment or the acquisition of professional credentials due to previous convictions for business types in which there is anticipated to be a demand, from the perspective of facilitating the employment of persons who have committed offenses, and will draw a conclusion within two years. Based on this conclusion, each ministry and agency will examine whether it is necessary to review the restriction on professional credentialing under its administrative jurisdiction and implement the necessary measures.

The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will take measures to ensure that persons who have committed offenses with disabilities can find employment at ordinary enterprises and other places of business or find employment in services associated with Type A employment continuation support (through which persons who are capable of working under employment contracts are provided with the opportunity to work through entrance into an employment contract or similar agreement, and with other such opportunities) or Type B employment continuation support (through which persons who have difficulties working under employment contracts are provided with the opportunity to work and other such opportunities), through the use of initiatives to support persons with disabilities and based on factors such as their degree of eagerness to work and their level of disability. In addition, for persons who have committed offenses who have difficulty finding employment at ordinary enterprises and other places of business for reasons such as poverty or low levels of disability, the ministries will advance the active use of employment preparation support services for needy persons and employment training services for needy persons under the Services and Supports for Needy Persons Act (Act No. 105 of 2013).

２．住居の確保等

2. Securing housing; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

刑務所満期出所者のうち約５割が適当な帰住先が確保されないまま刑務所を出所していること、これらの者の再犯に至るまでの期間が帰住先の確保されている者と比較して短くなっていることが明らかとなっている。適切な帰住先の確保は、地域社会において安定した生活を送るための大前提であって、再犯防止の上で最も重要であるといっても過言ではない。

It has become apparent that approximately 50% of people released upon completion of their prison terms leave prison without having secured an appropriate place to return to, and that the period of time until they reoffend is relatively shorter than for persons who have secured a place to return to. It is not an exaggeration to say that securing an appropriate place to return to is a major condition enabling persons who have committed offenses to live a stable life in the local community, and that it is the most important element in preventing recidivism.

政府においては、「宣言」に基づき、受刑者等の釈放後の生活環境の調整の充実や、親族等のもとに帰住することができない者の一時的な居場所となる更生保護施設の受入れ機能の強化、自立準備ホーム（あらかじめ保護観察所に登録した民間法人・団体等の事業者に、保護観察所が、宿泊場所の供与と自立のための生活指導のほか、必要に応じて食事の給与を委託する際の宿泊場所）の確保など、矯正施設出所後の帰住先の確保に向けた取組を進めてきた。

The national government has been implementing efforts to secure places to return to for sentenced persons after they are released from correctional institutions by enhancing coordination of the environments in which they live after their release, strengthening the acceptance function of offenders rehabilitation facilities that serve as temporary place to stay for persons who cannot go back to living with their relatives or other persons, and securing self-reliance support homes (accommodations used when the probation office, as needed, entrusts private-sector corporations, organizations, and other businesses that have been registered with the probation office in advance with providing persons who have committed offenses with food, in addition to providing them with accommodation and teaching life skills for self-reliance).

しかしながら、親族等のもとへ帰住できない者の割合も増加傾向にあることから、引き続き更生保護施設や自立準備ホームでの受入れを進める必要がある。また、更生保護施設には、かつての宿泊提供支援だけでなく、薬物依存症者その他の処遇困難者に対する処遇及び地域生活への移行支援が求められるなど、その役割が急激に拡大しており、更生保護施設における受入れ・処遇機能の強化の必要性が指摘されている。

However, as the proportion of persons who cannot go back to living with people such as relatives is on the rise, it is necessary to continuously advance their acceptance at offenders rehabilitation facilities and self-reliance support homes. In addition, the roles of offenders rehabilitation facilities are rapidly expanding, with these facilities being called upon to implement treatment for persons with drug dependencies and other persons that are difficult to treat, and to provide support for their transitions into life in the community instead of simply providing accommodation support as in the past; some have pointed out the need to strengthen the acceptance and treatment functions of offenders rehabilitation facilities.

加えて、更生保護施設や自立準備ホームはあくまで一時的な居場所であり、更生保護施設等退所後は地域に生活基盤を確保する必要があるが、身元保証人を得ることが困難であったり、家賃滞納歴等により民間家賃保証会社が利用できなかったりすることなどにより、適切な定住先を確保できないまま更生保護施設等から退所し、再犯等に至る者が存在することなどの課題がある。

In addition, offenders rehabilitation facilities and self-reliance support homes are temporary places to stay and thus, it is necessary for persons who have committed offenses to secure home bases in the local community after they are released from them. However, challenges to this include that some persons who have committed offenses are released from offenders rehabilitation facilities without having been able to secure an appropriate fixed residence due to difficulties in finding a personal guarantor or an inability to use private rental guarantee companies due to a record of non-payment of rent.

第３　保健医療・福祉サービスの利用の促進等のための取組（推進法第１７条、第２１条関係）

Section 3 Efforts to Facilitate the Use of Health, Medical, and Welfare Services; Related Efforts (Re: Articles 17 and 21 of the Prevention Act)

１．高齢者又は障害のある者等への支援等

1. Support for persons such as those who are elderly or have a disability; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

高齢者（６５歳以上の者）が、出所後２年以内に刑務所に再び入所する割合は、全世代の中で最も高いほか、出所後５年以内に再び刑務所に入所した高齢者のうち、約４割の者が出所後６か月未満という極めて短期間で再犯に至っている。また、知的障害のある受刑者についても、全般的に再犯に至るまでの期間が短いことが明らかとなっている。

Among all generations, the elderly (persons who are 65 or older) have the highest rate of re-imprisonment within two years after release from prison. In addition, approximately 40% of elderly persons who have been re-imprisoned within five years after their release from prison became recidivist in an extremely short period of time―less than six months after their release from prison. Moreover, it has also become apparent that sentenced persons with intellectual disabilities generally become recidivist in short periods of time.

政府においては、矯正施設出所者等に対する支援（出口支援）の一つとして、受刑者等のうち、適当な帰住先が確保されていない高齢者又は障害のある者等が、矯正施設出所後に、社会福祉施設への入所等の福祉サービスを円滑に利用できるようにするため、地域生活定着支援センターの設置や、矯正施設及び更生保護施設への社会福祉士等の配置を進め、矯正施設や保護観察所、更生保護施設、地域生活定着支援センターその他の福祉関係機関が連携して必要な調整を行う取組（特別調整）を実施してきた。

As one of the measures (outbound support) to support sentenced persons released from correctional institutions, the national government has been advancing the establishment of support centers for settlement in local communities and the stationing of certified social workers at correctional institutions and offenders rehabilitation facilities so as to enable sentenced persons such as those who are elderly or have a disability and who have not secured an appropriate place to return to, to smoothly use welfare services following their release from correctional institutions, including through admission to social welfare facilities, after their release from correctional institutions; and correctional institutions, probation offices, offenders rehabilitation facilities, support centers for settlement in local communities, and other welfare institutions have been collaborating in their implementation of efforts to undertake the necessary coordination (special coordination).

また、犯罪をした高齢者又は障害のある者等の再犯防止のためには、出口支援だけでなく、起訴猶予者等についても、必要な福祉的支援に結び付けることなどが、犯罪等の常習化を防ぐために重要である場合があることを踏まえ、検察庁において、知的障害のある被疑者や高齢の被疑者等福祉的支援を必要とする者について、弁護士や福祉専門職、保護観察所等関係機関・団体等と連携し、身柄釈放時等に福祉サービスに橋渡しするなどの取組（入口支援）を実施してきた。

In addition, in light of the fact that, in order to prevent recidivism among persons who have committed offenses such as the elderly and persons with disabilities, there are cases in which it is important to provide not only outbound support, but also the necessary welfare support for persons under suspension of prosecution, the public prosecutor's office has been implementing efforts to provide a bridge to connect suspects with intellectual disabilities, elderly suspects, and other persons in need of welfare support to welfare services at the time of their release from custody, in collaboration with attorneys, welfare specialists, probation offices, and other relevant organizations and bodies (inbound support).

しかしながら、「緊急対策」で指摘された事項に加えて、福祉的支援が必要であるにもかかわらず、本人が希望しないなどの理由から特別調整の対象とならない場合があること、地方公共団体や社会福祉施設等の取組状況等に差があり、必要な協力が得られない場合があること、刑事司法手続の各段階を通じた高齢又は障害の状況の把握とそれを踏まえたきめ細かな支援を実施するための体制が不十分であることなどの課題がある。

However, in addition to the issues pointed out in the Emergency Measures, other challenges include that some persons fail to become covered by special coordination for reasons such as not wishing to receive welfare support despite needing it; that in some cases, it is not possible to get the necessary cooperation due to differences in things such as the how efforts are being made by local governments and social welfare facilities; and that there are deficiencies in the systems for assessing that a given person is elderly or has a disability at each stage in the criminal justice process and implementing meticulous support based on this identification.

In addition, the ministries will enhance and strengthen the function of collaboration with relevant organizations, such as correctional institutions, probation offices, and support centers for settlement in local communities, in order to provide necessary health, medical, and welfare services to elderly persons or persons with disabilities that have difficulty in living self-reliant lives, in light of the importance of cooperating with correctional institutions, probation offices, and regional health, medical, and welfare institutions.

２．薬物依存を有する者への支援等

2. Support for persons with drug dependencies; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

覚せい剤取締法違反による検挙者数は毎年１万人を超え、引き続き高い水準にあるほか、新たに刑務所に入所する者の罪名の約３割が覚せい剤取締法違反となっている。また、平成２７年に出所した者全体の２年以内再入率は１８．０パーセントであるのと比較して、覚せい剤取締法違反により受刑した者の２年以内再入率は１９．２パーセントと高くなっている。

The number of persons arrested for violation of the Stimulants Control Act remains at a high level, with over 10,000 persons arrested every year. In addition, approximately 30% of the charged offenses of persons who are newly imprisoned are violations of the Stimulants Control Act. Moreover, in comparison to the two-year re-imprisonment rate of 18.0% for all persons released from prison in 2015, the two-year re-imprisonment rate of persons imprisoned due to violation of the Stimulants Control Act was higher, at 19.2%.

薬物事犯者は、犯罪をした者等であると同時に、薬物依存症の患者である場合もあるため、薬物を使用しないよう指導するだけではなく、薬物依存症は適切な治療・支援により回復することができる病気であるという認識を持たせ、薬物依存症からの回復に向けた治療・支援を継続的に受けさせることが必要である。

Since drug offenders, in addition to being persons who have committed offenses, are also patients with drug dependencies, it is necessary to have them continuously receive treatment and support for recovery from drug dependency while getting them to realize that drug dependency is a disease from which they can recover through appropriate treatment and support, instead of simply guiding them not to use drugs.

政府においては、矯正施設・保護観察所における一貫した専門的プログラムの開発・実施、「薬物依存のある刑務所出所者等の支援に関する地域連携ガイドライン」の作成、地域において薬物依存症治療の拠点となる医療機関の整備等の施策に取り組むとともに、「緊急対策」に基づき、薬物依存からの回復に向けた矯正施設・保護観察所による指導と医療機関による治療、回復支援施設や民間団体等による支援等を一貫して行うための体制を整備するほか、平成２８年６月から施行された刑の一部の執行猶予制度の適切な運用を図ることとしている。

The national government is to achieve appropriate operation of the system for suspending the execution of a part of a sentence, which has been in effect since June 2016, in addition to establishing a system to consistently provide guidance by correctional institutions and probation offices, treatment by medical institutions, and support by recovery support facilities and private-sector organizations for recovery from drug dependence based on the Emergency Measures while working on such initiatives as the development and implementation of coherent specialized programs at correctional institutions and probation offices, development of Local Collaboration Guidelines Concerning Support for Former Inmates with Drug Dependencies, and establishment of medical institutions which will serve as the basis for treatment of drug dependency in the local community.

しかしながら、矯正施設、保護観察所、地域の保健医療・福祉関係機関、回復支援施設や民間団体等について効果的な支援等を行う体制が不十分であること、そもそも薬物依存症治療を施すことができる専門医療機関や薬物依存症からの回復支援を行う自助グループ等がない地域もあるなど一貫性のある支援等を行うための関係機関等の連携が不十分であること、海外において薬物依存症からの効果的な回復措置として実施されている刑事司法と保健医療・福祉との連携の在り方について調査研究する必要があること、薬物事犯者の再犯の防止等の重要性・緊急性に鑑み、刑事司法関係機関、保健医療・福祉関係機関、自助グループを含めた民間団体等各種関係機関・団体が、薬物依存からの回復を一貫して支援する新たな取組を試行的に実施する必要があることなどが指摘されている。

However, it has been pointed out that: there are deficiencies in the systems for providing effective support at correctional institutions, probation offices, regional health, medical, and welfare institutions, recovery support facilities, and private-sector organizations; that there are deficiencies in collaboration among the relevant organizations to provide consistent support due to reasons such some local communities not having any specialized medical institutions that can provide treatment for drug dependency or self-help groups to provide recovery support for drug dependency; that research and studies need to be done regarding the form that collaboration between the criminal justice system and health, medical, and welfare services should take, as such collaboration is implemented overseas as an effective measure in recovery from drug dependency; and that it is necessary for each of the relevant organizations and bodies, such as organizations in the criminal justice system, health, medical, and welfare institutions, and self-help groups and other private-sector organization, to implement, as a trial program, new efforts to consistently support drug offenders to recover from drug dependency, in light of the importance and urgency of preventing recidivism by drug offenders.

There are limited medical institutions that are able to provide treatment for drug dependency, and in light of the fact that some persons with drug dependencies do not receive treatment or end up discontinuing their treatment because it is difficult for them to commute to distant medical institutions, in addition to further enhancing specialized medical institutions that can provide addiction treatment, including treatment for drug dependency, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will facilitate appropriate ways of dealing with persons with drug dependencies at general medical institutions.

第４　学校等と連携した修学支援の実施等のための取組（推進法第１１条、第１３条関係）

Section 4 Efforts to Implement Educational Support in Cooperation with Schools and Others; Related Efforts (Re: Articles 11 and 13 of the Prevention Act)

１．学校等と連携した修学支援の実施等

1. Implementing educational support in cooperation with schools and others

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

我が国の高等学校進学率は、９８．５パーセントであり、ほとんどの者が高等学校に進学する状況にあるが、その一方で、少年院入院者の２８．９パーセント、入所受刑者の３７．４パーセントが、中学校卒業後に高等学校に進学していない。また、非行等に至る過程で、又は非行等を原因として、高等学校を中退する者も多く、少年院入院者の３６．８パーセント、入所受刑者の２４．６パーセントが高等学校を中退している状況にある。

Japan's high school enrollment rate is 98.5%, with most people continuing their educations into high school. In contrast, 28.9% of juveniles committed to juvenile training schools and 37.4% of sentenced inmates did not continue their educations into high school after graduating from junior high school. In addition, many juveniles drop out of high school either as a part of the process leading to their delinquent acts or as a result of those delinquent acts; 36.8% of juveniles committed to juvenile training schools and 24.6% of sentenced inmates have dropped out of high school.

政府においては、高等学校の中退防止のための取組や、中学校卒業後に高等学校等へ進学しない者及び高等学校等を中退する者に対する就労等支援を実施するとともに、矯正施設内における高等学校卒業程度認定試験の実施、少年院における教科指導の充実、少年院出院後の修学に向けた相談支援・情報提供、少年院在院中の高等学校等の受験に係る調整、ＢＢＳ会（ＢｉｇＢｒｏｔｈｅｒｓａｎｄ　Ｓｉｓｔｅｒｓの略であり、非行少年の自立を支援するとともに、非行防止活動を行う青年ボランティア団体）等の民間ボランティアの協力による学習援等を実施してきた。

In addition to undertaking efforts to prevent high school students from dropping out and implementing support for employment for those who do not continue on to high school after graduation from junior high school or who drop out of high school, the national government has been undertaking measures such as implementation of the Upper Secondary School Equivalency Examination (high school equivalency examination) at correctional institutions; enhancement of educational guidance at juvenile training schools; provision of counseling, support, and information geared towards post-release education, coordination to allow those committed to juvenile training schools to take their high-school entrance examinations, and educational support with the cooperation of private-sector volunteers, such as BBS Association (also referred to as the Big Brothers and Sisters Association, a youth volunteer group that supports the self-reliance of juvenile delinquents and carries out delinquency prevention activities).

しかしながら、学校や地域における非行の未然防止に向けた取組が十分でないこと、犯罪をした者等の継続した学びや進学・復学のための支援等が十分でないことなどの課題がある。

However, challenges include that not enough of an effort is being made to prevent delinquency by schools and local communities and that there is not enough support for continuous learning, enrollment, or re-enrollment of persons who have committed offenses.

第５　犯罪をした者等の特性に応じた効果的な指導の実施等のための取組（推進法第１１条、第１３条、第２１条関係）

１．特性に応じた効果的な指導の実施等

1. Implementing effective guidance tailored to individual attributes; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

再犯防止のための指導等を効果的に行うためには、犯罪や非行の内容はもとより、対象者一人一人の経歴、性別、性格、年齢、心身の状況、家庭環境、交友関係、経済的な状況等の特性を適切に把握した上で、その者にとって適切な指導等を選択し、一貫性を持って継続的に働き掛けることが重要である。また、指導等の効果を検証し、より効果的な取組につなげる必要がある。

In order to undertake guidance aimed at preventing recidivism in a way that is effective, it is important to appropriately assess both the details of a person's offense or delinquent act, the background, gender, character, age, mental and physical condition, family environment, associates, financial circumstances, and other attributes of each individual in order to choose appropriate guidance for the person; and to continuously and consistently encourage them. In addition, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of the guidance and ensure that it leads to more effective efforts.

政府においては、「総合対策」に基づき、性犯罪者、暴力団関係者等再犯リスクが高い者、可塑性に富む少年・若年者、被虐待体験や摂食障害等の問題を抱える女性など、それぞれの対象者の特性に応じた指導及び支援の充実を図るとともに、犯罪被害者の視点を取り入れた指導及び支援等の実施を図ってきた。

The national government has been enhancing guidance and support that is tailored to the individual attributes of recipients such as sex offenders, persons with a high risk of recidivism such as members of organized crime groups, highly malleable juveniles and young persons, and women who are survivors of abuse or facing issues such as eating disorders and implementing guidance and support that incorporates the perspectives of crime victims, based on the Comprehensive Measures.

しかしながら、対象者の特性や処遇ニーズを的確に把握するためのアセスメント機能や、刑事司法関係機関や民間団体等における指導・支援の一貫性・継続性が不十分であるなどの課題があり、これらを強化するとともに、指導・支援の効果の検証を更に推進していく必要がある。

However, challenges include that there are deficiencies in the assessment function to accurately assess the target persons' individual attributes and need for treatment and in the consistency and continuance of guidance and support provided at organizations in the criminal justice system and private-sector organizations; it is necessary to strengthen these and further advance evaluations into the effectiveness of guidance and support.

第６　民間協力者の活動の促進等、広報・啓発活動の推進等のための取組（推進法第５条、第２２条、第２３条、第２４条関係）

１．民間協力者の活動の促進等

1. Facilitating the activities of cooperating members of the private sector; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

我が国における再犯の防止等に関する施策の実施は、地域において犯罪をした者等の指導・支援に当たる保護司、犯罪をした者等の社会復帰を支援するための幅広い活動を行う更生保護女性会、ＢＢＳ会等の更生保護ボランティアや、矯正施設を訪問して矯正施設在所者の悩みや問題について助言・指導する篤志面接委員、矯正施設在所者の希望に応じて宗教教誨を行う教誨師、非行少年等の居場所作りを通じた立ち直り支援に取り組む少年警察ボランティアなど、多くの民間ボランティアの協力により支えられてきた。また、更生保護法人を始めとする様々な民間団体等による、犯罪をした者等の社会復帰に向けた自発的な支援活動も行われており、こうした活動により、地域社会における「息の長い」支援が少しずつ形作られてきている。

In Japan, the implementation of initiatives to prevent recidivism is supported by the cooperation of many private-sector volunteers, such as the volunteer probation officers who are in charge of providing guidance and support to persons who have committed offenses in the local community, Japan Women's Association for Rehabilitation Aid, which is involved in a wide range of activities to support the reintegration into society of persons who have committed offenses, rehabilitation volunteers such as the BBS Association, volunteer interviewers who visit correctional institutions and give advice and guidance regarding the worries and difficulties of persons held in correctional institutions, chaplains who give religious counseling for those held in correctional institutions who want it, and juvenile police volunteers involved in reformatory support through the creation of places for juvenile delinquents. In addition, various private-sector organizations, including juridical persons for offender rehabilitation, have been conducting voluntary activities to support the reintegration into society of persons who have committed offenses, and these activities are gradually leading to long-term support in local communities.

こうした再犯の防止等に関する活動を行う民間ボランティアや民間団体等の民間協力者は、再犯の防止等に関する施策を推進する上で、欠くことのできない存在であり、まさに全国津々浦々において、「世界一安全な日本」の実現に向けて陰に陽に地道な取組を積み重ねて来た方々である。

These cooperating members of the private sector, including private-sector volunteers and private-sector organizations engaged in activities to prevent recidivism, are essential in advancing initiatives to prevent recidivism, and these are the very actors who have built upon steady efforts publicly and privately around the nation to make Japan the safest country in the world.

しかしながら、保護司の高齢化が進んでいること、保護司を始めとする民間ボランティアが減少傾向となっていること、地域社会の人間関係が希薄化するなど社会環境が変化したことにより従前のような民間ボランティアの活動が難しくなっていること、民間団体等が再犯の防止等に関する活動を行おうとしても必要な体制等の確保が困難であること、刑事司法関係機関と民間協力者との連携がなお不十分であることなど、民間協力者による再犯の防止等に関する活動を促進するに当たっての課題がある。

However, challenges to the advancement of activities to prevent recidivism by the cooperating members of the private sector include that it has become difficult for the work of private-sector volunteers to be carried out as in the past due to the aging of volunteer probation officers, a decrease in the number of volunteer probation officers and other private-sector volunteers, and changes in the social environment as a result of rarefied human relationships in the local communities; that it has become difficult for private organizations and others to ensure the necessary systems even if they seek to conduct activities to prevent recidivism; and that there are still deficiencies in the collaboration between organizations in the criminal justice system and cooperating members of the private sector.

２．広報・啓発活動の推進等

2. Advancing public relations and awareness-raising activities; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

犯罪をした者等の社会復帰のためには、犯罪をした者等の自らの努力を促すだけでなく、犯罪をした者等が社会において孤立することのないよう、国民の理解と協力を得て、犯罪をした者等が再び社会を構成する一員となることを支援することが重要である。

For persons who have committed offenses to reintegrate into society, not only is it important that they be encouraged to make their own efforts, but also that they are supported in becoming constituent members of society again with the understanding and cooperation of the citizens, so that they do not become isolated from society.

政府においては、これまでも、全ての国民が、犯罪や非行の防止と罪を犯した人の更生について、理解を深め、それぞれの立場において力を合わせ、犯罪のない地域社会を築こうとする全国的な運動である“社会を明るくする運動”を推進するとともに、再犯の防止等に関する広報・啓発活動や法教育などを実施し、再犯の防止等について国民の関心と理解を深めるよう努めてきた。

The national government has already been making an effort to increase the interest and understanding of the people as it regards preventing recidivism by implementing public relations and awareness-raising activities and law-related education on preventing recidivism while advancing a nationwide movement called the "Campaign to Give Society Brighter Future" to get people to deepen their understanding of crime and delinquency prevention and of the rehabilitation of people who have committed crimes so that they will work together from each of their positions in the local community, in a combined effort to create communities that are free from crime.

しかしながら、再犯の防止等に関する施策は、国民にとって必ずしも身近でないため、国民の関心と理解を得にくく、“社会を明るくする運動”が十分に認知されていないなど、国民の関心と理解が十分に深まっているとは言えないこと、民間協力者による再犯の防止等に関する活動についても国民に十分に認知されているとはいえないことなどの課題がある。

However, as initiatives to prevent recidivism are not something to which the people feel connected, it is difficult to gain their interest and understanding; challenges include that the "Campaign to Give Society Brighter Future" does not have sufficient visibility and cannot be said to have deepened the interest or understanding of the people, and that activities prevent recidivism carried out by cooperating members of the private sector also cannot be said to have sufficient visibility among the people.

(2) 具体的施策

(2) Specific initiatives

①再犯防止に関する広報・啓発活動の推進

(i) Advancing public relations and awareness-raising activities related to preventing recidivism

ア　啓発事業等の実施

第７地方公共団体との連携強化等のための取組（推進法第５条、第８条、第２４条関係）

Section 7 Efforts to Strengthen Collaboration with Local Governments; Related Efforts (Re: Articles 5, 8 and 24 of the Prevention Act)

１．地方公共団体との連携強化等

1. Strengthening collaboration with local governments; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

犯罪をした者等の中には、安定した仕事や住居がない者、薬物やアルコール等の依存のある者、高齢で身寄りがない者など地域社会で生活する上での様々な課題を抱えている者が多く存在する。政府においては、犯罪をした者等の抱えている課題の解消に向けて、各種の社会復帰支援のための取組を実施してきたところであるが、その範囲は原則として刑事司法手続の中に限られるため、刑事司法手続を離れた者に対する支援は、地方公共団体が主体となって一般市民を対象として提供している各種サービスを通じて行われることが想定されている。

Many persons who have committed offenses face various issues in living in local communities, such as having no stable work or housing, having drug or alcohol dependencies, or being elderly and having no relatives. The national government has been implementing various efforts to support persons who have committed offenses to reintegrate into society in order to solve such issues; but the scope of its efforts is generally limited to within the criminal justice system, and support for persons who are no longer in the criminal justice system is expected to be undertaken through the various services provided to the ordinary citizen, mainly by local governments.

この点について、推進法においては、地方公共団体は、基本理念にのっとり、再犯の防止等に関し、国との適切な役割分担を踏まえて、その地方公共団体の地域の状況に応じた施策を策定し、実施する責務があることや、地方公共団体における再犯の防止等に関する施策の推進に関する計画（以下「地方再犯防止推進計画」という。）を定めるように努めなければならないことが明記された。

In this regard, it is clearly provided in the Prevention Act that local governments are responsible for formulating and implementing initiatives tailored to the situation in the areas under their respective jurisdictions with regard to preventing recidivism, based on the appropriate sharing of roles with the State and in accordance with the fundamental principles, and that they must endeavor to establish plans for advancing initiatives to prevent recidivism in the areas under their jurisdictions (hereinafter referred to as "Local Recidivism Prevention Plans").

こうした中、一部の地方公共団体においては、自らがコーディネーターとなって、継続的な支援等を実施するためのネットワークを構築するなどソーシャル・インクルージョン（全ての人々を孤独や孤立、排除や摩擦から援護し、健康で文化的な生活の実現につなげるよう、社会の構成員として包み支え合う）のための取組が実施されつつある。

Given these circumstances, some local governments are starting to establish themselves as the coordinators in implementing efforts toward social inclusion (to provide every person with a back-up to protect them from loneliness, isolation, exclusion, and friction and to encompass and mutually support them to realize a healthy and cultured life as a constituent member of society) through the establishment of networks to implement continuous support.

しかしながら、地方公共団体には、犯罪をした者等が抱える様々な課題を踏まえた対応といった支援のノウハウや知見が十分でないこと、支援を必要としている対象者に関する情報の収集が容易でないことなどの課題があり、これらのことが、地方公共団体が主体的に、再犯の防止等に関する施策を進めていく上での課題となっている。

However, there are challenges, including not having sufficient know-how and knowledge to support persons who have committed offenses based on the various issues they face and difficulty in collecting information on the persons requiring support, and these things are becoming challenges for local governments to work autonomously in advancing initiatives to prevent recidivism.

第８関係機関の人的・物的体制の整備等のための取組（推進法第１８条、第１９条関係）

Section 8 Efforts to Develop the Personnel and Physical Systems of the Relevant Organizations; Related Efforts (Re: Articles 18 and 19 of the Prevention Act)

１．関係機関の人的・物的体制の整備等

1. Developing the personnel and physical systems of the relevant organizations; related matters

（１）現状認識と課題等

(1) Current situation; challenges; related matters

犯罪をした者等が円滑に社会に復帰することができるようにするためには、犯罪をした者等が犯罪の責任等を自覚して自ら社会復帰のために努力することはもとより、社会において孤立しないよう、犯罪をした者等に対して適切な指導及び支援を行い得る人材を確保・養成し、資質の向上を図っていくことが求められている。また、矯正施設を始めとする再犯防止関係施設は、再犯の防止等に関する施策を実施するための重要な基盤であり、その整備を推進していくことが求められている。

For persons who have committed offenses to become able to smoothly reintegrate into society, not only are they being asked to become conscious of things such as their responsibility for their offenses and to work toward their own reintegration into society, there is also a call to secure and train personnel who are capable of providing appropriate guidance and support to persons who have committed offenses and improve their credentials so that persons who have committed offenses will not become isolated from society. In addition, correctional institutions and other facilities involved in preventing recidivism are important bases for implementing initiatives to prevent recidivism, and are called upon to advance the development of these efforts.

しかしながら、刑事司法関係機関や保健医療・福祉関係機関等は、それぞれ十分とはいえない体制の中で業務を遂行している現状にあり、様々な課題を抱えた犯罪をした者等に対して十分な指導・支援を行うことが困難な状況にあること、例えば、矯正施設については、地域住民の避難場所等災害対策の役割をも担っているにもかかわらず、現行の耐震基準制定以前に築造されたものが多く、高齢受刑者が増加している中でバリアフリー化に対応できていない施設、あるいは医療設備が十分でない施設も存在することなど、再犯の防止等に関する施策を担う人的・物的体制の整備が急務である。

However, currently, organizations in the criminal justice system and health, medical, and welfare institutions are performing their services from within systems that cannot be called sufficient, and are facing difficulties in providing sufficient guidance and support to persons who have committed offenses and who are dealing with a variety of issues. For example, despite serving as evacuation points for local residents or otherwise playing a role in disaster-relief measures, many correctional institutions were constructed before the establishment of the current earthquake-proofing standards; and some of these institutions have either not been made barrier-free or have insufficient medical facilities, even as the number of elderly sentenced persons increases. There is thus an urgent need to develop the personnel and physical systems that are being tasked with initiatives to prevent recidivism.

(2) 具体的施策

(2) Specific initiatives

①関係機関における人的体制の整備

(i) Developing the personnel systems at the relevant organizations

警察庁、法務省及び厚生労働省は、関係機関において、本計画に掲げる具体的施策を適切かつ効果的に実施するために必要な人的体制の整備を着実に推進する。【警察庁、法務省、厚生労働省】

The National Police Agency, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will steadily advance the development of the necessary personnel systems to enable the relevant organizations to appropriately and effectively implement the specific initiatives set forth in this plan. [National Police Agency; Ministry of Justice; Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare]

②関係機関の職員等に対する研修の充実等

(ii) Enhancing on-the-job training for personnel at the relevant organizations; related matters

警察庁、法務省、文部科学省及び厚生労働省は、再犯の防止等に関する施策が、犯罪をした者等の円滑な社会復帰を促進するだけでなく、犯罪予防対策としても重要であり、安全で安心して暮らせる社会の実現に寄与するものであることを踏まえ、刑事司法関係機関の職員のみならず、警察、ハローワーク、福祉事務所等関係機関の職員、学校関係者等に対する教育・研修等の充実を図る。【警察庁、法務省、文部科学省、厚生労働省】

In light of the fact that initiatives to prevent recidivism not only facilitate the smooth reintegration of persons who have committed offenses into society but are also important as crime prevention measures and contribute to the creation of a society in which people can live safely and with peace of mind, the National Police Agency, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will enhance the education and on-the-job training of not only personnel of organizations in the criminal justice system, but also of the personnel of the relevant organizations, such as police, public employment security offices, and welfare offices, and of school officials. [National Police Agency; Ministry of Justice; Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology; Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare]

③矯正施設の環境整備

(iii) Environmental streamlining of correctional institutions

法務省は、矯正施設について、耐震対策を行うとともに、医療体制の充実、バリアフリー化、特性に応じた効果的な指導・支援の充実等のための環境整備を着実に推進する。【法務省】

In addition to undertaking earthquake-proofing measures for correctional institutions, the Ministry of Justice will steadily advance environmental streamlining to enhance the frameworks for medical treatment, to make correctional institutions barrier-free, and to enhance effective guidance and support tailored to the individual attributes of the persons in those facilities.
