Outline of Final Research Achievements

As long as the welfare requires the consent of the client himself/herself as a premise, it is restricted naturally that criminal justice intervenes to welfare and the welfare must be prudent also in taking the viewpoint of criminal justice of re-offending prevention into itself. Japanese government insists on the prevention of re-offending, but its concept includes both support for a client and social defense in itself and may convert into social defense easily from support for a client according to social context. Main mission of social welfare is not a prevention of re‐offending but an ensuring the quality of life of their clients. Therefore social welfare should not become ‘a subcontractor’ of the criminal justice for the crime prevention. Social welfare should be independent from the criminal justice, although they should collaborate with each other.
