ACPF is pleased to announce that it will co-host an online seminar with ACPF of the Philippines.

This is the fourth time that the Philippines Seminar was held for the first time in July 2019, followed by webinars in 2021 and 2023.

This seminar will also be held as an event of the Philippine National Crime Prevention Week (September 1 to 7 every year) (similar to the Japanese SHAMEI movement month <advocated by the Ministry of Justice>).

The theme of this Crime Prevention Week is “Empowered Local Governments for Safer Communities: Strengthening CSOP Crime Prevention Practices”.

(Note)

CSOP: Community and Service-Oriented Policing System (Official Community Policing Program of the Philippine National Police)

Thus, the theme of this seminar is the activities of local police, and it will be a valuable opportunity to hear from Tatsuya Nagai, Director of the Foundation, as well as high-ranking police officers from Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, who are actively working as overseas cooperation organizations of the Asian Criminal Justice Foundation, from Japan, about the actual situation in each country and measures to deal with various problems. We look forward to your participation.

As you can see the end of “What is the ACPF?” of our website here, the ACPF publishes a booklet statistical collection called “Japan, How Safe? – Statistics on Security of Japan -”.

However, the last issuance is the 2018 edition, and its statistics are primarily based on 2016.

For an overview of the 2018 edition, please click here.

Ten years have passed since the first edition, and although there have been no major changes in the crime situation in Japan, the ACPF has updated the major parts of the statistics related to crime.

→ “Japan, How Safe”: Data Update (2025)

We hope this will be helpful to you.

If you would like to read the updated statistics along with the 2018 edition, the last edition is still in stock. The ACPF website News at the time of publication of the 2018 edition can be found “here”.
