China-Canada Legislative Development Project for Community Corrections in China
ICCLR continues its partnership with the College for Criminal Law Science of Beijing Normal University by jointly implementing this important project funded by the Canadian International Development Agency. The purpose of this project is to develop an annotated “model law" for community corrections in China, together with supporting comparative research. A Work Planning Mission was successfully completed in September 2011, and a study tour composed of 14 delegates including Deputy Minister of Justice, Mr. Zhang Sujun, and Dean Zhao Bingzhi was conducted in November 2011. The visiting delegation met with 36 Canadian representatives from 18 departments, ministries and agencies across Canada. The project will be finished in December 2012.
