Theme 1 (first half): Basic theory of recidivism prevention.

In addition, you will learn an overview of the SDGs and how recidivism prevention is positioned within them, as well as what is required of private companies to achieve the goals of the SDGs, and various measures to promote private companies' initiatives ( Learn about ESG investment, etc.
Theme 2: Involvement of the private sector in measures to prevent recidivism, not only the combination of social welfare business + joint stock company by establishing a traditional social welfare corporation (Japanese social firms are this type), but also PFI, PPP (Public Service Reform Act) ), pay-for-success (PFS), social impact bonds (SIBs), crowdfunding, and other methods of implementing functions that have traditionally been carried out by the public sector as private businesses. We will consider how it is being applied to prevention efforts, what challenges there are for development, and what measures can be taken to encourage more private companies to take action.
