Although therewas an increase in the number of street deception cases, it is noted thatcontinuous enforcement actions and publicity by the Police have contributed tothe substantial decrease of cases when compared to the high record of 811 casesin 2002. “Spiritual Blessing” and “Borrow Money / Borrow Mobile Phones”remained the most prevalent types of such crime, accounting for 77.5%(79 cases) of all street deception cases in 2011.Telephone Deception2.16 In 2011, there were 1 916 cases of telephone deception,representing a decrease of 5.1% compared with 2 019 in 2010. The decreasewas attributable to the drop of “Guess Who I Am” cases in 2011, showingpositive result of the Police work including crime prevention publicity sinceDecember 2010 and successful joint intelligence-led enforcement action inShaoguan by the Police and the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau in January2011 in which a Mainland telephone deception syndicate was neutralised.Triad-related Crimes2.17 2 207 cases (2.9%) of all crimes in 2011 were triad-related,compared with 2 037 (2.7%) in 2010.

Since January 2009, the Police have introduced a new case87

classification of Domestic Incident 2 (such as dispute, nuisance or annoyance ofnon-violent nature). In 2011, 11 770 cases of Domestic Incident were recorded,an increase of 516 cases (4.6%) compared with 11 254 in 2010.Juveniles and Young Persons Arrested for Crime2.19 3 343 juveniles (aged under 16) were arrested for crime in 2011, adrop of 6.5% compared with 3 576 in 2010.

Thus, since January 2009, thePolice have introduced a new case classification of “Domestic Incident” with a view to extending the safetynet and capturing cases involving families with problems, such as domestic disputes, nuisance or annoyancewhich are non-violent in nature, into the Enhanced Central Domestic Violence Database to assist casehandlingofficers in risk assessment and consideration of referral to the SWD for further assistance.88

CHAPTER 3COMMERCIAL CRIMES3.1 “Commercial Crime” is not a single or legally defined offence. Itembraces a variety of criminal activities involving commercial fraud, deception,false accounting, counterfeit instruments and other offences of a similar nature.The following sections provide an overview of the commercial crimes reportedin 2011 and a comparative assessment with that of 2010.Serious and Syndicated Frauds3.2 In 2011, 48 serious and syndicated frauds were reported to theCommercial Crime Bureau (CCB) of the Police, an increase of 6.7% whencompared to 45 cases reported in 2010. The amount involved also increasedsignificantly by 253% to $4,379.23 million in 2011. The increase in the amountinvolved in 2011 was primarily attributed to the overall increase in reportedcases and two cases of fraud involving a total amount of $2,000 million.Relevant figures are set out below –Serious and Syndicated Frauds 2010 2011 % ChangeNo. of Reported Cases 45 48 +6.7%Total Amount Involved($ million)1,240.42 4,379.23 +253%3.3 Criminals use various methods to commit serious and syndicatedfrauds, causing considerable impact upon the community. Some of the morecommonly encountered commercial frauds are sub-categorised as Letter ofCredit Fraud, Street Deception, Pyramid Scheme Fraud, Modelling AgencyFraud, Advance Fee Fraud and Bankruptcy-related Fraud, which are detailedbelow respectively.Letter of Credit Fraud3.4 In 2011, two letter of credit fraud cases were reported, compared tosix cases in 2010. Relevant figures are as follows –Letter of Credit Fraud 2010 2011 % ChangeNo. of Reported Cases 6 2 -66.7%Total Reported Losses($ million)5.7 6 +5.3%89

3.5 The reported cases in 2011 decreased by 66.7%, although there wasa slight increase of 5.3% or $0.3 million in the amount involved. A number ofhigh profile Police operations as well as heightened due diligence by the bankingindustry achieved a positive effect in deterring perpetrators of letter of creditfraud. As a result, a low number of such cases was recorded.Street Deception3.6 In 2011, there were 102 cases of street deception, representing anincrease of 64.5% when compared to 62 cases in 2010, and the amount involvedincreased by 83.8%. The significant increase in losses in 2011 was primarilyattributed to five cases which involved losses of $2.21 million and the generalincrease in the number of cases. Relevant figures are as follows –Street Deception 2010 2011 % ChangeNo. of Reported Cases 62 102 +64.5%Total Reported Losses($ million)3.28 6.03 +83.8%3.7 In 2011, “Spiritual Blessing” and “Borrow Money / Borrow MobilePhones” cases were the most prevalent methods used by fraudsters in streetdeception cases, with losses amounting to 72.1% ($4.34 million) of the overalllosses. “Spiritual Blessing” cases increased from 18 in 2010 to 43 in 2011. For“Borrow Money / Borrow Mobile Phones” cases, the figure increased from 19 in2010 to 36 in 2011. On the other hand, the number of “Fake Electronic Parts”cases decreased from 12 in 2010 to seven in 2011.3.8 In 2011, the CCB coordinated Force-wide operations against streetdeception offences resulting in 14 persons arrested and 27 cases detected.Although the figure of cases in 2011 was still below the record high of 811 in2002, the CCB has been actively enhancing the exchange of crime informationand the crime prevention publicity for the public in view of the upward trend.Numerous publicity campaigns were arranged through the Crime PreventionBureau and the Regional Crime Prevention Offices, focusing on the elderly asthey represent the most vulnerable group. Since 2007, arrangements have beenmade with the Hong Kong Association of Banks so that bank personnel candirectly contact the Police “District Response Teams” on suspicious cases thatcome to the banks’ attention. This initiative has resulted in the successfulapprehension of culprits and preventing potential losses from victims.Pyramid Scheme Fraud3.9 In 2010, three cases of suspected pyramid scheme fraud werereported. In 2011, there were two such cases, which involved 32 victims with 1890

persons arrested. Investigations into these offences are still ongoing.3.10 Successful prosecutions over the years have sent a clear message tothe public that such schemes are illegal. Proactive Police action will continue,including the continued close monitoring of companies known to be involved inpromoting pyramid schemes.3.11 To enhance the effectiveness of the previous Pyramid SellingProhibition Ordinance (Chapter 355, the Laws of Hong Kong) in combatingpyramid scheme related fraud, the Government instituted an Amendment Bill tothe renamed Pyramid Schemes Prohibition Ordinance (Chapter 355, the Laws ofHong Kong) which was enacted on 1 January 2012. The new legislation aims toenact express provisions prohibiting pyramid schemes and has made it illegal forparticipants in a pyramid scheme to knowingly induce another person to join thescheme. The amendments to the legislation will hopefully deter individualsjoining a pyramid scheme and encourage victims of pyramid schemes to reportthe situation rather than recruiting further members.Modelling Agency Fraud3.12 The Police received complaints against three companies suspectedof modelling agency fraud in 2011, compared to five in 2010. However, theamount involved increased from $50,000 in 2010 to $102,100 in 2011. Theseven victims concerned were persuaded to purchase beauty packages beforethey would be offered any modelling jobs. Relevant figures are as follows –Modelling Agency Fraud 2010 2011 % ChangeNo. of Companies Complained 5 3 -40%No. of Victims 11 7 -36.4%Total Reported Losses ($) 50,000 102,100 +104.2%3.13 Most of the victims might have been exposed to aggressive salestactics of the modelling agencies concerned and had signed the contracts orpurchased the beauty packages / training courses of their own free will. Theremight not have been any criminal elements associated with the transactionshandled by staff of these companies, thus making the prosecution for such casesmore difficult. For this reason, the Police will investigate specifically whetherinaccurate or false statements have been made to deceive the victims with a viewto scrutinizing whether criminal elements are involved. The Police will alsocontinue to focus on the cultivation of intelligence in relation to such activitiesand organise regular publicity campaigns as preventive measures.91

Advance Fee Fraud3.14 A common variation of advance fee fraud is lottery fraud. A lotteryfraud takes places when a victim receives either an email, a letter or a coldphone call from a purported lottery, a sweepstakes company or otherorganisations such as a travel agent, informing him that he has won aconsiderable amount of prize or cash prize. Fraudsters often claim to representlegitimate lottery agency so as to convince the victims. The victim is thenrequired to pay an advance fee for the release of the prize or cash prize. Therewere 400 reported cases of lottery fraud in 2011, an increase of 26 casescompared to 374 cases reported in 2010. Relevant figures are as follows –Lottery Fraud 2010 2011 % ChangeNo. of Reported Cases 374 400 +6.95%Total Reported Losses($ million)69.24 49.04 -29.2%3.15 Although the majority of the targeted victims are residing outsideHong Kong, culprits often made use of the efficient banking infrastructure ofHong Kong to launder the proceeds of such crime. Since 2008, the CCB hascentralized investigations, allowing in depth analysis, victim profiling and directcontact with overseas law enforcement agencies, with a view to tackling thistype of fraud in which overseas Chinese residents are considered mostvulnerable. This approach has rigorously addressed these types of frauds andsignificantly reduced the number of reported crimes from a high of 784 reportedcases in 2008.3.16 As a result of the centralized investigation against lottery fraud,75 cases have been detected since 2008. 125 defendants were found guilty ofmoney laundering offences and received sentences up to 66 months ofimprisonment pursuant to court proceedings.Bankruptcy-related Fraud3.17 Bankruptcy-related fraud has seen a decreasing trend in recent yearssince it peaked 621 reported cases in 2002. In 2011, the Police received 17 suchreports, a decrease of 36 cases when compared with 2010. The reported loss,however, slightly increased from $1.14 million in 2010 to $1.26 million in 2011.Relevant figures are as follows –Bankruptcy-related Fraud 2010 2011 % ChangeNo. of Complaints 53 17 -67.9%Total Reported Losses($ million)1.14 1.26 +10.5%92

3.18 Since 2000, 139 persons have been prosecuted for failing todisclose their existing liabilities when applying for loans or credit. 117 personswere convicted of related offences and received sentences ranging fromprobation orders, community service orders to a maximum of ten months’imprisonment.Other Types of FraudInsurance-related Fraud3.19 In 2011, 51 insurance-related fraud cases were reported to thePolice, compared to 43 cases in 2010. However, the amount involved increasedfrom $5.8 million in 2010 to $21.56 million in 2011 (+271.7%). The significantincrease was in part attributed to three cases involving a combined amount of$13.7 million. Relevant figures are as follows –Insurance-relatedFraudNumberof CasesReported2010 2011 % ChangeAmountInvolved($ million)Numberof CasesReportedAmountInvolved($ million)Numberof CasesReportedAmountInvolved($ million)CategoryUnauthorisedinsurance business0 0 0 0 - -Fraud by insurancestaff– Misappropriationof clients’ 6 1.49 17 5.79 +183.3% +288.6%premium– Fraudulentmanipulation of 33 3.43 26 14.23 -21.2% 314.9%policiesFraudulent claims 1 0.75 4 1.47 +300% +96%Others 3 0.13 4 0.07 +33.3% -46.2Total 43 5.8 51 21.56 +18.6% +271.7%3.20 The number of reported incidents of this type of fraud has declinedfrom a high of 62 cases in 2006. A significant factor on this decline is that thePolice have stepped up liaison with the insurance industry for informationexchange on the latest trends, preventive measures and investigative techniquesin relation to insurance-related fraud. The decline is also due to the intensivepublicity and education, which has helped deliver crime prevention messagesconcerning insurance-related fraud to the general public.93

3.21 In recent years, there has been a continual rise in insurancepremiums for the public transports sector. According to the Hong KongFederation of Insurers , one of the reasons for the increase in premiums is theprevalence of fraudulent insurance claims. A Joint Legislative CouncilSubcommittee studied the issue in 2011 and has recommended that the Policeprovide an effective channel for insurance companies to report insurance-relatedfrauds.3.22 With effect from 1 February 2012, the CCB has been receiving alltraffic accident-related insurance frauds reported by insurance companies.Counterfeit CurrenciesCounterfeit Hong Kong Banknotes3.23 3 584 counterfeit Hong Kong banknotes surfaced in 2011,representing an increase of 89.4% compared to 1 892 in 2010. The increase incounterfeit Hong Kong banknotes is mainly attributed to the arrest of three localmales who were suspected to be connected in the manufacture and circulation of1 394 HK$100 banknotes and HK$50 banknotes which accounted for 38.9% ofthe seized Hong Kong banknotes.3.24 A majority of the banknotes seized belonged to the “Inkjet” type ofcounterfeit banknotes. An analysis of such production method indicated thatthese counterfeit Hong Kong banknotes were of poor quality and contained nosimulated security features. In general, they were used for small purchases orpayment for public transport. It is also easy to distinguish them from genuinebanknotes if being examined closely by members of the public.Counterfeit HK$1,000 banknotes3.25 In 2011, the seizures of 328 counterfeit HK$1,000 banknotesshowed an increase of 49.1% when compared to 220 in 2010. An analysisrevealed that the majority of the counterfeit HK$1,000 banknotes seized wereeither “Altered” type (32.3% or 106 banknotes) or “Inkjet” type (26.8% or88 banknotes). Most of the remaining counterfeit HK$1,000 banknotesbelonged to the “Offset” type (15.9% or 52 banknotes).3 The Hong Kong Federation of Insurers is a self-regulatory body of insurers for advancing and promoting the developmentof the insurance business in Hong Kong and it is the representative body of insurance industry.94

3.26 A trend that emerged in 2011 was altered (Zimbabwe) banknotes inwhich Zimbabwe $1,000 banknotes, which were no longer legal currency inZimbabwe, being overprinted with words in Chinese to resembleHK$1,000 banknotes. Intelligence suggested that most of the victims wereMainland visitors who exchanged and got the altered Zimbabwe$1,000 banknotes in the Mainland before coming to Hong Kong for use.Counterfeit HK$500 and HK$100 banknotes3.27 In 2011, the seizures of counterfeit HK$500 andHK$100 banknotes were 353 and 1 806 respectively. It showed an increaseof 11.4% for counterfeit HK$500 banknotes (317 in 2010) and 189% forcounterfeit HK$100 banknotes (625 in 2010) when compared with 2010. Amajority of the counterfeit HK$500 (229 out of 353 or 64.9%) andHK$100 (1 619 out of 1 806 or 89.6%) banknotes seized in 2011 were ofpoor quality “Inkjet” type. Relevant figures on counterfeit Hong Kongbanknotes are summarised as follows –2010 2011 % ChangeCounterfeit HK$1,000 banknotes 220 328 +49.1%Counterfeit HK$500 banknotes 317 353 +11.4%Counterfeit HK$100 banknotes 625 1 806 +189%Counterfeit HK$(others) banknotes 730 1 097 +50.3%Counterfeit HK$ banknotes(Total)1 892 3 584 +89.4%Counterfeit Hong Kong Coins3.28 20 638 counterfeit HK$10 coins were seized in 2011, representing adecrease of 32.1% compared to 30 403 coins in 2010. The number ofcounterfeit HK$5 coins also decreased by 15.6% from 1 331 coins in 2010 to1 124 coins in 2011. The counterfeit coins were received primarily from localbanks (32.1% for HK$10 coins and 61.3% for HK$5 coins) and publictransportation companies (42.2% for HK$10 coins and 11.7% for HK$5 coins).The decline was attributed to the increased usage of HK$10 banknotes and“Octopus Card”. Relevant figures on counterfeit HK$10 and HK$5 coins aresummarised below –2010 2011 % ChangeCounterfeit HK$10 coins 30 403 20 638 -32.1%Counterfeit HK$5 coins 1 331 1 124 -15.6%95

Counterfeit Chinese Yuan (CNY) Banknotes3.29 4 542 counterfeit CNY banknotes surfaced in 2011, representing adecrease of 17% compared with 5 469 in 2010. The downward trend incounterfeit CNY notes has been observed since January 2009, which is believedto be a result of the success of the strengthened anti-counterfeit CNY banknotescampaign in the Mainland. The overall counterfeit CNY banknotes activitieswere successfully contained and effectively deterred. Relevant figures oncounterfeit CNY banknotes are summarised below –2010 2011 % ChangeCounterfeit CNY banknotes 5 469 4 542 -17%Counterfeit Payment Cards3.30 3 051 counterfeit payment cards surfaced in Hong Kong in 2011,representing a significant increase of 399.3% compared to 611 in 2010. Themajority of counterfeit payment cards seized in 2011 were “Base Cards” 4(72.7%) with the rest comprised counterfeit credit cards (13.7%), “WhiteCards” 5 (9%) and “Counterfeit Payment Cards – Others” 6 (4.6%). Relevantfigures are as follows –2010 2011 % ChangeTotal Counterfeit Payment Cardssurfaced611 3 051 +399.3 %Seized in proactive operations 378 2 951 +680.7 %No. of arrestees 85 77 -9.4 %3.31 The increase in seized counterfeit cards was the direct result of anintelligence-led operation resulting in the eradication of three trans-nationalcounterfeit payment cards syndicates and two local counterfeit payment centres.In June 2011, the Police detected a major payment card related case in whichtwo defendants were arrested in possession of 2 227 forged payment cards. Thedefendants were convicted of “Possessing Equipment for Making a FalseInstrument” and sentenced to 40 months’ imprisonment respectively.4 “Base Cards” is a semi-finished counterfeit credit card which looks like a genuine credit card. The embossedcredit card number is not complete, but the card is encoded with stolen personal data on its magnetic stripe.Perpetrators usually use “base cards” for illicit cash withdrawals from Auto Teller Machines (ATMs).5 “White Cards” is a plain white-coloured plastic card with magnetic stripe on its back. The size of a “WhiteCard” is similar to that of a credit card. Fraudsters encode the genuine credit cardholders’ data on the WhiteCards for withdrawing cash from ATMs.6 A majority of the “Counterfeit Payment Cards – Others” resembled in the design of the genuine payment cards,however the data encrypted on the magnetic stripe on the counterfeit payment cards was false.96

Technology Crime3.32 In 2011, a total of 2 206 technology crime cases were reported,representing an increase of 34.3% when compared to 1 643 cases in 2010. Theamount involved also increased by 146% from $60.38 million in 2010 to$148.52 million in 2011. Over 83.3% of the technology crimes fell into thefollowing three major categories, namely Online Business Fraud 7 , Online GameRelated Crime and Unauthorised Access to Computer 8 . The breakdown of thereported technology crimes is as follows –Nature of Cases 2010 2011 % ChangeOnline Game Related 407 383 -5.9%Unauthorised Access to Computer 337 567 +68.2%Online Business Fraud 623 888 +42.5%Others 276 368 +33.3%Total 1 643 2 206 +34.3%3.33 In 2011, there were a total of 155 cases involving a popular modusoperandi, namely the “Change of supplier bank details” 9 scam with a monetaryloss of $49.25 million. This single type of scam accounted for one-third of thetotal losses for technology crime cases in 2011. The number of cases andinvolved losses drastically increased in the second half of 2011, from 29 caseswith losses of $4.85 million in the first half of 2011 to 126 cases with losses of$44.4 million in the second half of 2011. To combat this type of crime, thePolice have conducted a series of publicity initiatives disseminating crimeprevention messages to Small and Medium Enterprises members.3.34 To strengthen the Police’s capabilities in identifying, mitigating andresponding to cyber attacks, particularly by criminals intending to disruptgovernment and private sectors’ Internet operations, the Technology CrimeDivision seeks to establish a Cyber Security Centre. It is hoped that the Policeworking in partnership with other government departments and stakeholders will789“Online Business Fraud” can be generally described as someone utilizing the online platform (e.g., e-auctions)to buy or sell something but resulting in being deceived either in the form of failing to receive the monies orthe products. The relevant offences include (i) obtaining property by deception; and (ii) fraud.Examples of “Unauthorised Access to Computer” are (i) abuse of web account (including email) withoutauthority (phishing email); and (ii) intrusion into a computer system without authorisation (ID Theft). Therelevant offences include (i) access to a computer with intent to deceive; (ii) Access to a computer with intentto commit a crime; and (iii) access to a computer with intent to dishonestly gain/ cause loss to others.Criminals specifically compromised email accounts of Small and Medium Enterprises, and monitored detailsof email correspondences between two companies, which were involved in a business transaction. Havingsuch knowledge, criminals could send out fictitious emails to the victim by pretending to be a supplier wholately changed bank account. Many victims fell into prey and deposited money into it believing it was thebusiness account of their trading partners.97

enhance and consolidate the capacity in addressing cyber security threat.3.35 The Police have included targeting technology crime in theCommissioner’s Operational Priorities 2012. The Police will combat the risingtrend of technology crimes through handling professionally all reports of suchcrime, enhancing cooperation and intelligence exchange with other lawenforcement agencies and adopting a multi-agency approach to promote publicawareness of computer and cyber security.Conclusion3.36 The FCC noted that the Police had mounted a number of successfulintelligence-led operations and secured convictions in different areas ofcommercial crime throughout 2011. The Police will maintain their momentumin combating all types of commercial crimes in Hong Kong.*****98

CHAPTER 4PROGRESS OFPOLICE SUPERINTENDENT’S DISCRETION SCHEME4.1 Under the Police Superintendent’s Discretion Scheme (PSDS), aPolice officer at the rank of Superintendent or above may, at his or her discretion,administer a caution to a juvenile offender instead of initiating a criminalprosecution. With effect from 1 September 1995, the age ceiling of offenderseligible for the PSDS has been raised from the age of under 17 to under 18 sothat more juvenile offenders can benefit from the scheme. The FCC monitorsthe progress of the PSDS through the half-yearly progress reports submitted bythe Commissioner of Police.Overall Situation4.2 5 355 juveniles 10 were arrested for various criminal offences in2011, representing a decrease of 1.8% compared to 2010 (5 454). The mostcommon criminal offences committed by juvenile offenders in 2011 were shoptheft, miscellaneous thefts, wounding and serious assault and serious drugoffences (see chart at Appendix P).4.3 Not all arrested juveniles are eligible for the PSDS. Under theexisting guidelines of the Department of Justice, a juvenile offender may beconsidered suitable for the PSDS if –(a)(b)(c)(d)at the time the caution is administered, the offender is under the ageof 18;the evidence available is sufficient to support a prosecution;the offender voluntarily and unequivocally admits the offence; andthe offender and his or her parents or guardian(s) agree to thecaution.4.4 It is only where the offence in which a juvenile offender is involvedis of a less serious nature (such as shop theft) that a Superintendent of Policemay consider exercising his discretion to issue a caution to a juvenile under thePSDS. If an offender has a previous criminal conviction, a caution will notnormally be considered, but each case rests on its own merit. Otherdiscretionary criteria that will be considered in deciding whether a caution10 For the purpose of this chapter, a juvenile refers to a person aged from 10 to under 18.99

should be administered include the prevalence of the offence, the degree of harmand damage to property suffered by the victim, and the attitude of the victim andthe offender’s parents or guardian(s).4.5 1 987 juvenile offenders were cautioned in 2011, representing adecrease of 4.3% when compared to 2010 (2 076). This gave a caution rate of37.1% of the juveniles arrested, comparing with 38.1% in 2010. A comparisonof the number of juveniles cautioned in 2010 and 2011 is set out below –YearNo. of JuvenilesArrestedNo. of JuvenilesCautionedCaution Rate ofJuveniles Arrested2010 5 454 2 076 38.1%2011 5 355 1 987 37.1%4.6 The serious nature of the offence and the previous caution record ofthe offender remained the most common reasons for proceeding withprosecutions instead of giving cautions. The age groups of 13, 14 and 15continued to be the largest cautioned age groups (see chart at Appendix Q).Referrals4.7 With effect from 1 November 2008, the Police adopted a morecoordinated approach in the post-caution supervision of the cautioned juveniles.Subject to the consent of their parents or guardian(s), all cautioned juvenilesunder the PSDS are referred to the Police’s Juvenile Protection Section forregular supervisory visits 11 . If the Police Superintendent considers that ajuvenile offender requires further “aftercare” in addition to the post-cautionvisits by the Juvenile Protection Section, he will refer the offender to one ormore of the following agencies for appropriate follow-up service with theconsent of the offender’s parents or guardian(s) –(a)(b)(c)Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) running the CommunitySupport Service Scheme;the Social Welfare Department (SWD); orthe Education Bureau (EDB).4.8 The number of referrals to the respective agencies / scheme underthe PSDS in 2011 is as follows –11 Previously, a cautioned juvenile would be referred to the Juvenile Protection Section if the PoliceSuperintendent administering the caution considered that there was such a need.100

The visits may last for a maximum of two yearsfrom the date of caution or until the juvenile’s 18 th birthday, whichever is theearlier. The purpose of the visits is to ensure that the juveniles do not lapse intocrime or associate with undesirable characters again.Community Support Service Scheme4.10 NGOs run the Community Support Service Scheme on subventionfrom the SWD. The scheme aims at helping the juveniles cautioned under thePSDS to improve their interpersonal relationships and develop their sense ofsocial responsibility, reintegrating them into the mainstream education or thework force, and hence reducing their likelihood of re-offending. The scope ofservice includes personal guidance and counselling, socialisation programme,volunteer service, leadership training, as well as social responsibility andcompetence enhancement programmes, etc. If the juvenile is a school drop-out,unemployed or not participating in any youth activities and likely to benefit fromsuch participation, the Police will refer the case to the Community SupportService Scheme.Referrals to Social Welfare Department4.11 If the juvenile has family or behavioural problems or does not haveparents or guardian(s) to look after his interest such that the assistance of a socialworker is required, the Police will refer the case to the SWD. Subject to theneeds of the juvenile and his family members, the SWD will provide a widerange of follow-up services, including crisis intervention, counselling, clinicalpsychological service, housing and financial assistance, etc. The SWD may also101

consider convening a Family Conference for the juvenile when it is assessed thathis problems or needs require the intervention of three agencies or more, or thejuvenile has been cautioned under the PSDS twice or more. The FamilyConference aims at bringing together the cautioned juvenile, his family membersand professionals from different disciplines to assess his needs and devise acomprehensive follow-up action plan. The key social worker appointed by theFamily Conference will follow up the action plan endorsed at the meeting bymeans of –(a)(b)making the necessary referral(s) for the juvenile and his family torelevant service units; andperforming post-conference liaison with the Juvenile ProtectionSection of the Police and other stakeholders concerned on theimplementation of the action plan.Referrals to Education Bureau4.12 A juvenile who is under 15 years of age and a school drop-out orhas schooling problems will be referred to the EDB. The EDB will assist him toresume schooling and adjust to school life as soon as possible. The EDB is alsorepresented at the Family Conference to advise on the schooling and schooladjustment needs of the juvenile.Recidivism4.13 A person is regarded as a recidivist if he or she is re-arrested forcrime within two years from the date of caution, or before he or she reaches18 years of age, whichever occurs first. The recidivist rate for the juvenilescautioned in 2009 was 18.2% (405 juveniles), compared to 16.8% (397 juveniles)for those cautioned in 2008, 16.9% (462 juveniles) in 2007, 16.2%(449 juveniles) in 2006 and 18.8% (569 juveniles) in 2005. Due to the two-yearrule, the recidivist rate for those offenders cautioned in 2010 and thereafter is notyet available.Way Forward4.14 The FCC will continue to monitor the progress of the PSDSthrough the half-yearly progress reports submitted by the Commissioner ofPolice and tender advice on the scheme as appropriate.*****102

CHAPTER 5FIGHT CRIME PUBLICITY STRATEGY5.1 The Publicity Sub-Committee of the FCC formulates the strategyfor the Fight Crime Publicity Campaign, which starts in early summer every year.The strategy, usually embracing one or more themes targeting prevailing crimesand / or areas of major community concern, is implemented by the PublicitySub-Committee following endorsement by the FCC.Review of the 2010-11 Campaign5.2 The themes of the 2010-11 campaign were “Anti-shop Theft” and“Watch Out for Online Crime”. To tie in with the territory-wide campaignagainst youth drug abuse, “Combating Youth Drug Abuse” was again adopted asone of the themes. Publicity to remind people to stay alert to pickpocketing wasalso stepped up in the latter part of the year. The campaign was allocated aninitial budget of $1.62 million, with subsequent injection of $1.15 million.5.3 The campaign, launched in June 2010, included television (TV)Announcements in the Public Interest (APIs) and radio APIs. The TV APIs wereuploaded onto the home pages of the Information Services Department (ISD)(http://www.isd.gov.hk/) and the Police (http://www.police.gov.hk/) as well asbroadcast on various outdoor electronic media and Internet platforms. To furtherpublicise the fight crime messages, posters were also produced for display at theMass Transit Railway (MTR) stations and as bus body advertisement. A comicsticker design competition against committing shop theft was organised amongprimary and secondary schools to instill positive values into the younggeneration.Publicity Strategy for the 2011-12 Campaign5.4 The 2011-12 campaign continued to enjoy a major campaign statuswith a budget allocation of $1.5 million.5.5 In 2010, telephone deception cases increased to 2 019 from 1 496 in2009. During the year, pickpocketing cases also increased to 1 400 from 1 082in 2009 while indecent assault cases increased to 1 448 from 1 318 in 2009.5.6 The Publicity Sub-Committee decided to step up publicity focusingon these three aspects. “Beware of Telephone Deception”, “Beware ofPickpockets” and “Protect Yourself from Sexual Assault” with emphasis onprotecting oneself from acquaintances made through online activities, werechosen as the themes of the 2011-12 campaign.103

5.7 To continue the support for the territory-wide campaign againstyouth drug abuse, “Stand Firm! Knock Drugs Out” was further adopted as oneof the themes of the 2011-12 campaign.5.8 The 2011-12 campaign, launched in June 2011, covered a TV APIand a complementing radio API on the theme of “Beware of TelephoneDeception”. The TV API was also uploaded onto the home pages of the ISD andthe Police as well as broadcast on various outdoor electronic media. To furtherpublicise the message, a poster was produced for display at MTR stations and asbus body advertisement.5.9 The TV API on anti-pickpocketing was also broadcast on variousoutdoor electronic media while a poster on the theme was displayed at MTRstations and as bus body advertisement.5.10 The TV API reminding people to stay vigilant against online crimes,including protecting oneself from harm / sexual abuse from acquaintances madethrough online, was continued broadcast on various Internet platforms andoutdoor electronic media. For the theme of combating youth drug abuse, thePublicity Sub-Committee also arranged bus body advertising to disseminate theanti-drug messages.5.11 At the district level, the Police continued to cooperate with theDFCCs and the Junior Police Call in organising fight crime activities in supportof the territory-wide Fight Crime Publicity Campaign, in particular on the antidrugtheme, to help disseminate the messages extensively to different sectors ofthe community.*****104

CHAPTER 6SEXUAL CONVICTION RECORD CHECK SCHEMERecommendations of Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong6.1 In February 2010, the Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong(LRC) published a report on “Sexual Offences Records Checks for Child-relatedWork: Interim Proposals” after thorough discussion and extensive publicconsultation, recommending the Administration to establish an administrativemechanism for sexual conviction record check as an interim measure to enablethe criminal conviction records for sexual offences of persons who undertakechild-related work and work relating to mentally incapacitated persons (MIPs) tobe checked. The LRC also made specific recommendations on theimplementation of the proposed scheme in a bid to strike a balance betweenchild protection and the rights of rehabilitated offenders.6.2 After the publication of the report, a number of Legislative CouncilMembers, interest groups and members of the community expressed theirconcerns on child sexual abuse incidents and requested the Government toexpeditiously set up the mechanism for sexual offences records checks to protectthe safety of children and MIPs. The Administration has accepted the LRC’srecommendations and established the Sexual Conviction Record Check (SCRC)scheme through the Police.Purpose of the Scheme6.3 The main purpose of the scheme is to prevent previous sexualoffenders from obtaining the trust of employers by deliberately withholding theirpast sexual conviction records and molesting children or MIPs again throughcontact with them in the course of their work. The scheme provides employerswith a reliable channel whereby they may ascertain whether applicants of childor MIP-related work or employment have any previous convictions against aspecified list of sexual offences (see Appendix R). The scheme can help reducethe risk of sexual abuse to children or MIPs and give them better protectionwhile considering the need of rehabilitation of offenders.6.4 The purpose of the scheme is not to assess or vet the professionalqualifications of those who provide services to children or MIPs (such asteachers, childminders, etc). The monitoring or registering organisations of therelevant professional qualifications will continue to carry out their respectivemonitoring or registration functions independently for such professionals asrequired by the respective legislation.105

6.5 The scheme aims at enabling employers to decide whether toemploy a person with a previous sexual conviction record to child or MIPrelatedwork on a fully informed basis. It is not to automatically or mandatorilybar previous sexual offenders from working in child or MIP-related fields.Scope of the Scheme6.6 The scheme is only applicable to prospective employees seekingchild or MIP-related work 12 in an organisation or enterprise. It does not includeexisting employees, private tutors and volunteers.6.7 Employers of organisations or enterprises, when engaging personsto undertake work that requires frequent contact with children or MIPs, mayrequest the prospective employees to undergo SCRC. Applications for the checkshould be submitted by the prospective employees voluntarily. The applicantmust produce documentary proof of possible employment related to children orMIPs from relevant employer to avoid abuses.6.8 Child-related work is defined as work where the usual dutiesinvolve, or are likely to involve, frequent or regular contact with children (i.e.persons under 18). Similar criteria but with no age restriction would apply to theMIP-related work. In general, the usual duties of the relevant work mayconform to one of the following criteria:(a)(b)(c)providing services mainly for children or MIPs (such as teachers,tutors working in tutorial centres, tutors of interest classes, socialworkers looking after children, paediatricians and nursing staff,tutors working in special schools, etc);working in premises that provide services for children or MIPs(such as general staff or assistants, librarians and cleaners inschools or tutorial centres, etc); orinvolving frequent or regular contact, in particular unmonitoredcontact, with children or MIPs (such as permanently-hired schoolbus drivers, assistants of children activities, etc).Operation of the Scheme6.9 The scheme adopts simple checking procedures, viz a one-stopapplication service with the Police to facilitate the use by employers and12 “Work” covers services provided to an organisation or enterprise under a contract of employment,apprenticeship or on a self-employed basis.106

prospective employees.Application for checking6.10 An applicant (i.e. prospective employees) should make advanceappointment through the Auto-Telephone Answering System (ATAS) no lessthan one working day in advance of the intended appointment and attends inperson at the SCRC Office to submit an application. To ensure the accuracy ofthe check result, fingerprints of the applicant will be taken by an officer of theSCRC Office.6.11 Upon making the payment of application fee of $115 andacceptance of the application, the applicant will be issued a 14-digit randomcomputer generated checking code. The checking code will be valid for twelvemonths dated from the first uploading of result onto the ATAS. The result willbe available for unlimited time of access during the validity period.6.12 The applicant may apply to the SCRC Office in person forwithdrawal or renewal of his checking account.Checking of results6.13 The applicant may give the checking code and the first four digitsof his Hong Kong Identity Card (HKID) number to the employer whom heauthorises for conducting the check. The employers may call the ATAS andconduct the check by inputting the checking code and the first four digits ofHKID number of the applicant. The ATAS will disclose to the employer that theapplicant “has” or “does not have” sexual conviction record. Details of anyconviction record will not be disclosed.6.14 The operation and use of the scheme is subject to the Personal Data(Privacy) Ordinance (Chapter 486, the Laws of Hong Kong) and provisions inrelation to data protection. Employers must comply with the legislation whenthey handle the personal data submitted by an applicant under the scheme, justas they handle other personal data submitted by job applicants and employees.Records of Conviction under the Scheme6.15 The scheme covers criminal conviction records of the specified listof sexual offences. The scheme does not cover conviction records of sexualoffences that are regarded as “spent” under section 2 of the Rehabilitation ofOffenders Ordinance (Chapter 297, the Laws of Hong Kong) and overseasconviction records.107

Implementation of the Scheme6.16 The FCC supported the implementation of the SCRC scheme. ThePolice have implemented the scheme with effect from 1 December 2011.*****108

CHAPTER 7OTHER ISSUES DISCUSSED BY THEFIGHT CRIME COMMITTEE7.1 In 2011, the FCC also discussed among others the 2011-12publicity campaign for rehabilitated persons launched by the CorrectionalServices Department (CSD) and the LRC’s Report on “The Common LawPresumption that a Boy under 14 is Incapable of Sexual Intercourse”. Details ofthe Committee’s discussion on these issues are set out in the followingparagraphs.CSD’s 2011-12 Publicity Campaign for Rehabilitated Persons7.2 The CSD is committed to providing a secure, safe, humane, decentand healthy environment for people in custody and facilitating their return to thecommunity as law-abiding citizens after they have served their sentence throughthe provision of rehabilitative opportunities in collaboration with the communityand other agencies. The effectiveness of the CSD’s work in rehabilitation hingeson not only the quality of the custodial regime and the rehabilitative programmesbut also the motivation and responsiveness of people in custody towardsrehabilitation, as well as the degree of community acceptance of rehabilitatedpersons.7.3 Against this background, the CSD has been organising publicityand public education activities to appeal for public acceptance of andcommunity support for rehabilitated persons, which have received positiveresponse from the community over the years.2011-12 Publicity Campaign7.4 The CSD implemented a series of publicity activities in 2011-12,targeting the following four community groups (a)For students and youths : The CSD continued to implement the“Rehabilitation Pioneer Project” which included education talks andforums titled “Options in Life” on offender rehabilitation, as well asvisits to correctional institutions under the Personal Encounter withPrisoners Scheme and the Green Haven Scheme where rehabilitatedoffenders shared their experience through which young peoplecould gain a positive understanding of them. Over 30 000 youngpeople participated in this project in 2011-12. To publicise the antidrugmessages to the young participants, in particular the seriouseffects of psychotropic substance abuse, the CSD made available109

upgraded facilities and new exhibits at the refurbished Green HavenScheme Resource Centre on Hei Ling Chau with effect from April2011.(b)For general public : To augment the publicity and public educationefforts on its offender rehabilitation services, the CSD produced andbroadcast a new series of TV and radio APIs with the theme “GiveRehabilitated Offenders A Chance” in Government air time of radioand TV stations starting from 13 April 2011. The CSD alsoproduced a new design of the publicity poster for display inGovernment poster display sites and distribution to schools andinterested organisations with effect from the same day. New giantwall banners carrying the publicity message were displayed on theouter walls of correctional institutions. APIs were also broadcast onbus TV with posters displayed on buses with a view to reachingdifferent sectors of the community and appealing for their supportfor rehabilitated persons. API telecast / advertisements incommunity centres, housing estates and shopping malls were alsoarranged. Moreover, the CSD rendered support to the RadioTelevision Hong Kong’s radio programme “Devoted to You”, andproduced calendars, desktop planners and souvenirs for distributionto schools and other interested organisations. Senior CSD officerscontinued to reach out to the community to introduce the work ofthe Department and reiterate the importance of both communityacceptance of and support for rehabilitated persons.In addition, the CSD appointed Miss TSAI Hiu-wai, a retired HongKong swimming athlete and the Silver Medallist (Swimming) of2009 East Asian Games, as a Rehabilitation Ambassador on13 April 2011 to assist in the publicity work on rehabilitation.The CSD continued to promote the rehabilitation stories ofoffenders through APIs and episodes of the Roadback TV docudramaseries on the home pages of the CSD(http://www.csd.gov.hk/), the ISD(http://www.isd.gov.hk/eng/tvapi/11_cs9.html) and YouTube(hongkong csd channel).In view of the positive response of the TV variety shows producedin recent years and to commemorate the 90 th anniversary of theDepartment, the CSD produced and broadcast four 20-minuteepisodes of mini-docu drama in November 2011 and staged anotherTV variety show “Support Offender Rehabilitation for a Safer andMore Inclusive Society” in December 2011.110

The CSD continued to hold certificate presentation ceremonies in2011-12 to demonstrate the inmates’ efforts in and commitment topersonal enhancement. To give recognition to the volunteers’contributions to offender rehabilitation, the Department held anannual award presentation ceremony on 29 June 2011.(c)(d)For employers : The CSD jointly organised a Job Fair titled “GiveRehabilitated Offenders A Chance” with the Merchants Support forRehabilitated Offenders Committee on a trial basis at Pik Uk Prisonin August 2011. 26 employers participated in the Job Fair toprovide employment opportunities for local persons in custody whowould be released within three months. Apart from providingpersons in custody with opportunities to gain interview experience,the Job Fair also helped to promote the message of offenderrehabilitation and extend the support network of Caring Employers,with a view to securing more equal employment opportunities forrehabilitated persons. The CSD also organised visits to correctionalinstitutions for employers to enhance their understanding of theDepartment’s rehabilitation services, in particular the vocationaltraining courses for offenders. In collaboration with the merchant/ trade associations, the CSD organised employment service supportprojects to provide vocational training opportunities for offenders.In 2011-12, the CSD continued to make referrals of suitablerehabilitated persons to the social enterprise under the “RiceDumpling Production Project” and assist in the promotion of theproject. The Department also continued to facilitate suchcooperation for the benefit of rehabilitated persons.For district and community organisations : To promote publicacceptance of rehabilitated persons, the CSD continued to cooperatewith the DFCCs to organise district-based publicity activities in2011-12. The Department also continued to maintain and build uppartnership with a variety of community organisations to takeforward initiatives for the benefit of prisoners and rehabilitatedpersons. The CSD held a large-scale NGO forum, titled“Offenders’ Reintegration into the Community – NGOs’ SuccessfulCase Study”, in October 2011 to enhance cooperation with NGOs inthe provision of rehabilitative services for offenders. To appeal forpublic support for volunteer work in offender rehabilitation, theCSD also mobilised volunteers from all NGO partners to organiseactivities and provide services to persons in custody on the “NGOService Day” titled “Together We Grow and Foster RehabilitationServices” in November 2011.111

7.5 To assess the effectiveness of its publicity activities as perceived bythe public, the CSD conducted a telephone opinion survey in December 2011.The survey results would be used to map out future publicity strategy.7.6 Community support is a key factor contributing to the successfultransition of rehabilitated persons to law-abiding citizens. The FCC endorsedthe CSD’s efforts in the rehabilitation of offenders, and considered that theDepartment’s publicity initiatives should continue.Law Reform Commission of Hong Kong’s Report on “The Common LawPresumption that a Boy under 14 is Incapable of Sexual Intercourse”7.7 The LRC published a report on “The Common Law Presumptionthat a Boy under 14 is Incapable of Sexual Intercourse” in December 2010,recommending the abolition of the common law presumption that a boy under14 is incapable of sexual intercourse from the legal perspective.7.8 According to the LRC, the problem is that the common lawpresumption cannot be rebutted even where there is clear evidence that the boywas physically capable of sexual intercourse at the time of the alleged offence,and had in fact had unlawful sexual intercourse with a non-consenting victim.As a result, regardless of the actual circumstances, a boy under 14 years of agecannot be convicted of rape, though he can be convicted of aiding and abettinganother to commit rape, or of indecent assault.7.9 The report argues that whatever the historical rationale for thecommon law presumption may have been, it is difficult to see what purpose therule now serves, and the report points to recent cases in Hong Kong where theexistence of the common law presumption has raised difficulties.7.10 If the common law presumption were to be abolished, the separaterebuttable presumption of doli incapax would continue to apply to a boybetween the ages of 10 and 14. It means that the prosecution must prove beyondreasonable doubt that, at the time of the offence, the boy knew his actions wereseriously wrong, rather than merely naughty or mischievous.7.11 After the release of the report, it was observed that stakeholderswere generally receptive and expressed positive views to the LRC’s proposal toabolish the common law presumption. The FCC also considered that therecommendation was worth supporting and noted that it had not arousedcontroversy in the community.112

7.12 The legislative amendment introduced by the Government toimplement the LRC's recommendation came into effect on 27 July 2012.*****113

CHAPTER 8WORK OF SUB-COMMITTEESStanding Committee on Young Offenders8.1 The Standing Committee on Young Offenders (SCOYO) is a subcommitteeof the FCC established in July 1986 by reconstituting the FCC’sWorking Group on Youth. Its key objective is to examine factors which affectthe involvement of young people at risk in crime, and consider preventive andremedial measures that can be implemented through education, social andcorrectional programmes. One of the tasks of the SCOYO is to monitor thework of the Young Offender Assessment Panel (YOAP). As a task forcecomprising professional staff from the CSD and the SWD, the YOAP makesrecommendations on the most appropriate rehabilitation programme forconvicted young offenders. The terms of reference and the 2011-12 membershiplist of the SCOYO are at Appendix B(a).8.2 During the year, the SCOYO examined two reports, one on thestatistics on crimes involving juveniles and young persons and the other on theoperation of the PSDS. The SCOYO also received a briefing on the CSD’s“Rehabilitation Pioneer Project” which aims to promote crime prevention andsupport the rehabilitation of offenders.8.3 In 2011, the SCOYO was briefed on the various efforts made by theGovernment in the involvement of youths for the prevention of juvenile crime.The Police have adopted a multi-agency and cross-sector approach informulating and implementing policing strategies to combat juvenile crime.Youths have been duly engaged and involved in services or programmesorganised by the Police or jointly with other agencies with a view to preventingand combating juvenile crime. The Police have also organised services orprogrammes targeting at topical crimes like technology crime, sexual violencecrime and unlawful society offences to educate and provide advice withjuveniles and students for crime prevention.8.4 Through allocation of subventions to NGOs and monitoring, theSWD has been providing a wide range of counselling and supportive services foryoung people through Integrated Children and Youth Services Centres, SchoolSocial Work Service and Outreaching Social Work Service, etc. By offeringvarious programmes and activities, these service units help young people, inparticular students with academic, social and emotional problems or at-riskyouths in disadvantaged circumstances, become responsible and contributingmembers of the society, and assist them to make maximum use of theireducational opportunities, develop their potentials and prepare them for114

esponsible adulthood. Outreaching Social Work Service seeks to reach out toyouths who do not normally participate in conventional social or youth activitiesand are vulnerable to negative influence with a view to providing counselling,guidance and timely intervention for their positive development.8.5 The CSD’s “Rehabilitation Pioneer Project” is an integrated set ofenhanced public education initiatives provided for youngsters. The project aimsat promoting crime prevention by advocating the importance of leading a lawabidingand drug-free life among young people, and enlisting their support foroffender rehabilitation.8.6 For the EDB, the New Senior Secondary Curriculum has beendesigned to promote the whole-person development of students and enhancetheir civic qualities and social awareness with an aim to help them develop intoresponsible and law-abiding citizens. To this end, many life-wide learningactivities, such as visits, debates and uniformed group services have beenorganised to help students reinforce their civic responsibilities and legalawareness. It is hoped to prevent juvenile crime at the same time.8.7 In the year, the measures taken by the Government to prevent atriskyouths from involving in street gangs and youth crime in turn were alsoexamined. The SCOYO was relieved to note that the overall situation on streetlevelcrime committed by juveniles and young persons was not serious and hadbeen improving in recent years. It considered that concerted efforts from allparties concerned should continue to address the social problem of street gangs.Publicity Sub-Committee8.8 The Publicity Sub-Committee of the FCC publicises the policies,objectives and strategies of the FCC, with a view to fostering public awarenessof crime prevention and motivating the community to play a more active role inthe fight against crime. The terms of reference and the 2011-12 membership listof the Publicity Sub-Committee are at Appendix B(b).8.9 The Publicity Sub-Committee is responsible for formulating andimplementing the Fight Crime Publicity Campaign. This annual campaignusually embraces one or more themes targeting prevailing crimes and / or areasof major community concern. Details of the 2011-12 Fight Crime PublicityCampaign are set out in Chapter 5.8.10 In 2011-12, the Publicity Sub-Committee planned and implementeda territory-wide fight crime publicity campaign through the use of the massmedia and community programmes such as the Good Citizen Award Scheme.The Publicity Sub-Committee also worked closely with the DFCCs in planning115

and organising publicity activities at the district level in support of the territorywidecampaign.Good Citizen Award Scheme8.11 Sponsored by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, theGood Citizen Award Scheme was introduced in 1973 by the FCC to giverecognition to members of the public for their help in the fight against crime. Tofurther promote public interest in the scheme, an additional honour – the GoodCitizen of the Year Award – was introduced in 1984 to give recognition to civicmindedcitizens who display exemplary courage in preventing or helping todetect crimes or in apprehending culprits.8.12 Two presentation ceremonies were held in June andNovember 2011 respectively, at which 80 citizens were commended. So far,more than 3 821 citizens have been commended under the scheme.*****116

CHAPTER 9WORK OF DISTRICT FIGHT CRIME COMMITTEES9.1 The DFCCs were established in September 1976, mainly for thepurpose of promoting public awareness of the Fight Crime Campaign throughorganising activities at the district level. Since then, the DFCCs have developedinto a focal point for community efforts to fight crime and their terms ofreference (see Appendix C(a)) have been broadened to include –(a)(b)(c)(d)monitoring the state of crime and law enforcement in the district;coordinating district campaign activities;promoting good relationship between the Police and members ofthe public; andadvising the FCC on administrative and community involvementmeasures to combat crimes.9.2 There are 18 DFCCs based on the same geographical boundaries asthe District Councils. The DFCCs are independent of the District Councils butthe two are closely related in terms of membership and funding arrangements.Membership9.3 The DFCCs have an average size of 38 members. Chaired by localcommunity leaders, the DFCCs comprise non-official members drawn from allsectors of the local community and representatives from key local governmentoffices. In 2011-12, 521 non-official members, many of whom were DistrictCouncil members, served on the 18 DFCCs. The membership lists of the18 DFCCs are at Appendix C(b).Monitoring Crime Situation in the District9.4 In 2011, each DFCC met every two or three months to discuss lawand order issues in the district. They kept under constant review the state ofcrime and significant trends revealed in district crime statistics. The meetingsprovided a useful forum for district personalities to discuss local crime issues.9.5 Each district has its own crime characteristics due to geographical,demographic and developmental differences. In 2011, the DFCCs’ attention wasparticularly drawn to the following crimes –117

(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f)robbery, burglary and building security issues;youth crime and youth drug abuse;triad-related crimes and vice activities;“quick cash” crimes such as shop theft and street deception;domestic violence; andonline crimes.Coordination of Community Efforts9.6 The DFCCs launched district fight crime publicity campaigns withfunds from the District Councils and other sponsorship. In addition tosupporting the themes of the prevailing Fight Crime Publicity Campaign (seeChapter 5), individual DFCCs also adopted special themes targeting therespective crime characteristics of the districts. Some DFCCs also conductedstudies and surveys on local crime problems.9.7 Campaign activities undertaken by the DFCCs in 2011 took avariety of forms, including exhibitions, school roving talks, seminars, varietyshows, carnivals, various award schemes and contests / competitions,publication of fight crime newsletters and distribution of fight crime publicityitems. Visits to Police Stations, correctional services institutions and drugaddiction treatment centres were also organised.Link between FCC and DFCCs9.8 The FCC received and considered regular progress reports on thework of DFCCs. It also provided advice to the DFCCs on their work. A briefreport of the matters discussed at every FCC meeting was circulated to theDFCCs after each meeting for their information. In addition, FCC membersattended DFCC meetings on a roster basis and brought district concerns back toFCC meetings for discussion.
