| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Legislating the 1900’s “custody law” for the people with mentally disabled involved a dynamic relationship among the Ministry of the Interior, civil law scholars, and psychiatrists. The Ministry regarded custody as monitoring those responsible to prevent illegal confinement; scholars needed to adopt safeguards in order to compensate for the Meiji Civil Code’s deficiencies; and psychiatrists desired to include the implication of treatment in custody. In the end, such psychiatrists’ perspectives were neglected, and the custody policy was later characterized by equivalency between the “protection” concept, intentionally formed from a policy perspective, and “authoritarian enforcement-its implementation. Then the wartime regime’s (1910-1930) emphasis to “strengthen national power” eventually tilted the custody policy from protection toward public safety.
