日本刑法的特色

Features of Japan's Criminal Law

和西欧各国的刑法相比,日本刑法是自我克制型的刑法,和英美刑法相比较,在强调主观要素的一点上,可以说具有特色。刑法的自我克制,源自日本的文化特征。同时,日本家族或地域社会的统治依然非常强大,因此,对刑法的依赖程度也远没有西欧那么强烈。

In comparison with western European criminal law, Japan＇ s criminal law can be viewed as a type of self - constraint, highlighting somewhat subjectivity. It is argued that the self - constraint of Japan＇ s criminal law stems from Japanese cultural features and that Japa- nese clan or regional society is still prevalent, thereby leading to a less dependence on criminal law.
