| Research Abstract |
The purposes of this research were to clarify the followings : 1) how the internet changed production and consumption of pornography, 2) how that change influenced major violations of human rights such as sex violence or sex discrimination, 3) the validity of existing laws against those human rights violations, 4) investigation and research upon alternative legal regulations in other countries and the relation between those laws and freedom of speech.
Concerning 1 ＆2, the results were the followings : the spread of internet unprecedentedly proliferated pornography ; had a major impact on production and consumption of pornography ; generated numerous, serious sexual harms on women and children, through two questionnaire surveys on video voyeurism, a questionnaire survey on pornography consumption and sex behavior, interviews of a support website manager for victims on internet crimes, a doctor with clinical cases of porn harm, a person worked for pornography production, an adult video writer who covered a violent porn video.
Concerning 3 ＆4, the results were that the existing laws are not working in the face of unparalleled increase of pornography ; criminal law approach in Canada against pornography and civil-right approach in the US are both very promising also to Japan. Both approaches are based on harm approach that is justified against the claim that these laws breach freedom of speech. Law against video voyeurism in the US and UK are also investigated.
