Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research examines how victim/suspect has been described in recent crime reports in Japan, and raises questions from the perspective of attitudes towards privacy.The objectives of this study are twofold; (1) we examine how privacy/personal information about criminal cases are reported in the Japanese media based on quantitative analyses; and (2) we investigate the foundations on which the Japanese media reporting criminal cases are based in terms of “time frame" (i.e., past, present and future), and “space frame” (i.e., personal, community, and society).
In the modern era, the mass media forms an integral part of our perceived reality and our awareness of norms. In this context, we believe that studying the current situation of how victim/suspect are described in crime reports is useful for identifying the damage caused to the subjects of the reports, and for obtaining ideas for improvement.
