Outline of Final Research Achievements

My research is a comparative examination of how harmful and offensive expression is regulated in Japan and the United States. The targets of my analysis are the legal history of low value speech such obscene and libel in the U.S. and Japan. My research indicates that legal circles in the U.S. and Japan widely agree that low value speech should be regulated, but dispute the reasons why.
The research seeks a better understanding of why harmful and offensive expression including hate speech should be regulated, in order to create a viable framework of interpretation that may also be used in Japanese courts.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的な特色は、これまで日米の憲法学界で十分検討されてこなかった低価値言論類型の実質的な規制根拠から、当該類型の規制の限界を明らかにしようとする点にある。つまり、本研究は低価値言論の法理の詳細を論じぬまま、徒にそれを受容してきた日米の実務・学界に有効な解釈論を提示するものである。したがって、本研究が達成された際には、低価値言論類型の実質的な規制根拠が明らかとなり、当該類型に新たな言論が付加される際の立法ないし解釈上の指針が示される。
