To strengthen strategic collaboration between the academic and practical sectors in the formulation and advancement of criminal justice policies and crime prevention research, the Academy for the Judiciary convened its inaugural Crime Prevention Research and Development Advisory Meeting for 2026 on February 5. The meeting was presided over by President Wu Hsun-lung and brought together 12 advisory committee members, comprising directors and deputy directors from key departments and affiliated agencies under the Ministry of Justice, alongside distinguished scholars from academia.

The session served not only as a platform to present the major research accomplishments of 2025—spearheaded by the Academy’s Crime Prevention Research Center—but also as a forum for rigorous discussion on four prospective research proposals. Following deliberation, two topics were selected for commissioning as research projects in 2027:

1. A Policy-Oriented Empirical Study on the Mechanisms for Returning Criminal Proceeds Seized by Prosecutors but Not Subject to Court-Ordered Forfeiture to Victims in Illegal Deposit-Taking Cases.
2. From Intervention to Assessment: Architecting Evidence-Based Intervention Models and Effectiveness Evaluation Scales for Fraudsters.

The attending members expressed strong support for the Academy's ongoing initiatives in crime prevention research and affirmed the value of its substantial achievements.
