suitable rehabilitated offenders to the social enterprise and

For district and community organisations : To promote
public acceptance of rehabilitated offenders, the CSD
continued to cooperate with DFCCs to organise district-based
publicity activities in 2009-10. The Department also
continued to maintain and build up partnership with a variety
of community organisations to take forward initiatives for the
benefit of prisoners and rehabilitated offenders. The
Department conducted an NGO Service Day, with the theme
“Caring for Rehabilitated Offenders” to appeal for public
support for volunteer work in offender rehabilitation in
December 2009, with volunteers from all NGO partners
being mobilised to provide services to offenders. In addition,
the Department held a large-scale NGO forum, entitled
“Volunteering – A Strategy for Achieving Effective Offender
Rehabilitation”, in January 2010 to enhance co-operation
with NGOs in the provision of rehabilitative services for
offenders.
8.5 Community support is a key factor contributing to the successful
transition of rehabilitated offenders to law-abiding citizens. This will in turn
help reduce re-offending and save public expenses. The FCC endorsed the
CSD’s efforts in the rehabilitation of offenders, and considered that the
Department’s publicity initiatives should continue.

their own initiative. The Scheme serves as a form of commendation to
outstanding police officers in the respective districts.
8.7 The FCC was pleased to note from HAD’s report that the Scheme
had been extended to some other districts in the past years in view of the
positive response of the four initiating DFCCs in organizing the Scheme. The
Committee considered that the Scheme gave recognition to the Police’s efforts in
maintaining law and order and at the same time helped enhance public
awareness of crime prevention, and supported that individual DFCCs should
