Research Abstract	The purpose of the project is to study the way of Japanese criminal law for dealing with the organized crime and propose a desirable reform. The project has studied Japanese law, American law and German law for comparison. The conclusion of the study is that the law enforcement needs to focus on the organized crime group itself and the most effective tool for combating the organized crime is to confiscate illegal proceeds from the organized crime groups. For the regulation of the organized crime to be successful, it is necessary for the government to reform not only criminal codes directly regulating the organized crime but also other related criminal codes and civil codes.
