Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project focuses on the Japanese criminal justice policy with harsher punishment from the viewpoint of a political scientist. Although previous literature tend to explain harshness of the recent criminal policy in Japan by the "penal populism" theory, empirical problems remain to be solved. The research project shows a political aspect of harsher criminal justice policy by abstracting acts with harsher punishment from all legislation from 1990 to 2016 and by tracing the process of some acts.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
厳罰化立法を含む刑事政策は,社会の人々の安全にとって重要である。にもかかわらず,その形成過程の政治的メカニズムは,従来の研究では各専門分野(たとえば,犯罪社会学,刑事法学,刑事政策学)の狭間にあって,どの専門分野の研究者もその重要性は認識しながらも,方法論の限界もあり,積極的に取り組んでこなかった。本研究は,政治学的関心から厳罰化立法に注目し,客観的なデータを用いて実証的に研究することによって,この間隙を埋め,各専門分野の研究者との学際研究を進展させる可能性を拓いた。
