WATSON, Andrew (2016). Popular participation in Japanese criminal justice : from jurors to lay judges. Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Asia . Palgrave Macmillan. [Authored Book]
Abstract
This book analyses the mixed courts of professional and lay judges in the Japanese criminal justice system. It takes a particular focus on the highly public start of the mixed court, the saiban-in system, and the jury system between 1928-1943. This was the first time Japanese citizens participated as decision makers in criminal law. The book assesses reasons for the jury system's failure, and its suspension in 1943, as well as the renewed interest in popular involvement in criminal justice at the end of the twentieth century.
