| Research Abstract |
Over the last decade, the statute of limitations for serious offenses has been the subject of controversy. In this research, I first examine the proponents of the reform act of 2004 and 2010, to demonstarate that even proponents of the abolition of the limitations will not deny the need for dealing with the problem of missing or lost evidence. Based on this recognition, follow the legal discussions in the United States about the lost evidence problem, and analyze the variety of tools employed to address this problem. In doing so I get a suggestion about the solution in Japan.
