The Japanese Penal System and the People's Attitudes towards the Death Penalty in Japan

Bachelor thesis | Japanstudies (BA)
This thesis analyzes and discusses the Japanese penal system and capital punishment, with its main focus being on the reasoning of the Japanese public to support the practice. It uses the works of Durkheim and Foucault as a theoretical framework and analyzes a public survey held among Japanese citizens in 2018 on the retention of the death penalty in order to shed more light on the reasons behind retention.
