Abstract (Japanese)
概要
本稿は、読者に2つの司法制度の包括的な概観を提供し、その後、いくつかの追加的な側面を検討する。分析の構成により、読者は、社会が公式・非公式の統制という観点からどのように機能しているかを含め、法制度がどのように構築されているかを確認することができる。本稿はまた、さまざまな制裁がどのように実施され、それが個人と社会に与える影響についても探求している。個々の章では詳細な分析を行わず、必要に応じて十分な説明を行うようにしている。万引きを犯罪の例として挙げているのは、明確な比較が可能だからである。本論文では、両国の修復的司法を幅広く検証し、正式な刑事司法制度への影響を軽減するための潜在的な方策を検討している。最後に、包括的な分析を行い、それぞれの国について法的改善のための提言を行う。
Abstract
Crime is a problem all over the world. We must sometimes look to other countries and legal systems to find solutions to our own problems. This the-sis will encompass the view into another system. Both the Swedish and Jap-anese perspective.
In this thesis I present the reader with a comprehensive overview of the two justice systems, theories on crime, and restorative justice. An exploration of informal social control, and formal control is conducted, ending with an analysis and conclusion on the subject. The dispositions construction allows the reader to identify the system from how legislation is created, to how society functions with formal and informal control in both the Japanese and Swedish system. An examination is also provided on... (More)
Crime is a problem all over the world. We must sometimes look to other countries and legal systems to find solutions to our own problems. This the-sis will encompass the view into another system. Both the Swedish and Jap-anese perspective.
In this thesis I present the reader with a comprehensive overview of the two justice systems, theories on crime, and restorative justice. An exploration of informal social control, and formal control is conducted, ending with an analysis and conclusion on the subject. The dispositions construction allows the reader to identify the system from how legislation is created, to how society functions with formal and informal control in both the Japanese and Swedish system. An examination is also provided on how the different sanctions are carried out, the effects they have on the individuals, and on society. The thesis will refrain from extensive elaboration in the individual chapters. However, instances may arise where a clarification is warranted, and a surface-level examination is not granting sufficient satisfaction.
Shoplifting, which is defined in the first chapter, has been used through-out the thesis as an example crime, as it is simple in comparison. The thesis explores restorative justice in both countries, examining potential measures for alleviating stress on the formal criminal justice system.
Finally, an analysis will be undertaken, and recommendations for legislative improvements will be provided for each of the countries. The conclusion is multifold. There are many different ways each country can deal with their crime problems.
Further research needs to be conducted on legislation not yet implemented. (Less)
