Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are 372 articles in Korean Criminal Law, but 321 articles(80 general provisions and 241 particulars) are very similar or same to Japanese Draft for Revising Criminal Law. Therefore, it is absolute that the Japanese Draft for Revising Criminal Law has certainly influenced on Korean Criminal Law. It should be reconsidered that the Japanese Draft for Revising Criminal Law has had positive influences on Korean Criminal law. In addition, the reason and its background that the Korean legislators had to refer to the Japanese Draft for Revising Criminal Law at that time should be also understood. Thus, the reasonable and appropriate estimation toward the Japanese Draft for Revising Criminal Law would help improve the current Korean criminal law. Also, it would be helpful that Japanese scholars should also positively study on the revision or use of the current Korean Criminal Law.
