UNAFEI has a long history of research into the study of criminal justice issues in the Asia-Pacific region. This research has been conducted in compliment to the international training activities of our Institute, and has focused on the comparative study of criminal justice systems and the collection of primary materials. As a part of these activities, UNAFEI has published several books relating to criminal justice administration in the Asia-Pacific. Amongst these have been: " Adult Probation Profile of Asia" , "Prosecution Systems of Some Asian Countries (Japanese version)" and "Criminal Justice Profiles of Asia."
Howeer concern has been raised, particularly by UNAFEI alumni, regarding th eabsence of imformation in the international arena on corrections in the Asia-Pacific region. In response to this need, and with the assistance of seven corrections professionals, UNAFEI has published this work, "Institutional Treatment Profiles of Asia" Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to each of the authors who willingly participated in this project, and provided their work for this text.
" Institutional Treatment Profiles of Asia" outlines th ecorrectional systems of seven countries within the Asia-Pacific region. We invite readers to comparatively study the systems presented in this book with that of their own countries, considering methods to inprove or promote their respective national correctional administrations. It is my hope that " Institutional Treatment Profiles of Asia" wil serve as a foundation from which further develop criminal justice administration for the benefit of their own society and that of th einternational community
