The Academy for the Judiciary held the second Crime Prevention Advisory Conference for the year 2026 on July 9. The conference was chaired by Secretary General Tsai Ming-Yao and attended by 31 participants, heads of relevant departments and agencies such as the Department of Prosecutorial Affairs, Department of Prevention, Rehabilitation and Protection, and the Agency of Corrections under the Ministry of Justice, as well as academic advisory committee members and colleagues from the Crime Prevention Research Center.

The conference served as a platform for fostering a strategic alliance between academia and criminal justice practitioners to jointly plan, discuss, and promote criminal justice policies and crime prevention research, thereby providing valuable references for the government in refining national policies. Dr. Victor Cheng, Director of the Crime Prevention Research Center, reported on the center's key accomplishments during the first half of 2026 and outlined future research plans. The attending committee members reviewed the proposal documents for two outsourced research projects scheduled for 2027:

2. From Intervention to Assessment: Architecting Evidence-Based Intervention Models and Effectiveness Evaluation Scales for Fraud Offenders.
