CHAPTER 8
OTHER ISSUES DISCUSSED BY THE
FIGHT CRIME COMMITTEE
8.1 In 2009, the FCC also discussed the 2009-10 publicity campaign for
rehabilitated offenders launched by the Correctional Services Department (CSD),
and the implementation of the Outstanding Police Officer Award Scheme by
DFCCs. The outcome of the Committee’s discussion on these issues is set out in
the following paragraphs.
CSD’s 2009-10 Publicity Campaign for Rehabilitated Offenders
8.2 The CSD is committed to providing a safe and humane environment
for the detention of prisoners and facilitating their return to the community as
law-abiding citizens after they have served their sentence through the provision
of suitable rehabilitative services. The effectiveness of the CSD’s work in
rehabilitation hinges on not only the quality of the custodial regime and the
rehabilitative programmes, but also the motivation and responsiveness of
offenders towards rehabilitation, as well as the community’s acceptance of
rehabilitated persons.
8.3 Against this background, the CSD has organised a series of
education and publicity activities since 1999 to appeal for public acceptance of
and community support for rehabilitated persons. In view of the positive
response received from the community over the years, the CSD will continue to
organise different education and publicity campaigns to enlist the community’s
support on this front.
