In August 2021, the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI) hosted the 1st Youth International Training Course for five days, where 12 Japanese students and 11 JDS fellows had the opportunity to participate online. The theme of the training was “Youth Initiatives for Prevention of and Desistance from Drug-related Offences,” and the participants learned about domestic and international efforts and issues related to criminal justice and treatment of offenders.
