Research summary
Re-study of Criminal Procedure and Criminal Responsibility from the view of Restorative Justice From the viewpoint of Restorative Justice, we reconsider how offender should be responsible in criminal justice and how criminal justice procedure should be, and try to find how support should be provided in the process of fulfilling the responsibility. Although, in Japan, Restorative Justice (hereinafter called RJ) is often discussed as a certain technique based on the idea, like meeting and dialogue of an offender and his or her victims, we should separately consider two things: implementability of various programs based on the idea of RJ; and effects the idea of RJ itself may have on how criminal justice should be. From that standpoint, we have discussed not only criminal procedure in narrower meanings, mainly in the process of justice (trial), but also criminal procedure in broader meanings, including treatments in facilities through community, and have considered the relations between how responsibilities should be fulfilled in RJ and traditional theories on criminal responsibility, sentencing, treatment and procedure. Demonstrative study of RJ program has led to a conclusion that, in order to overcome the effects of criminalities and restore the bilateral relations between an offender and his or her victims, the third-party's support should empower the concerned parties as prerequisite, and it is important for the concerned parties to restore themselves. An offender, in particular, may find it still difficult, after criminalities, to independently get rid of the "social negative factors" he or she may have had before the criminalities. How will the relation be between such "social negative factors" and responsibilities the offender should assume for the criminalities? If restoring the damages done by criminalities is what the offender is asked to do to fulfill his or her responsibilities for the criminalities, it is important how the offender overcomes his or her own responsibilities for fulfillment. Therefore, to begin with, it is necessary to consider how the "social negative factors" are considered in the procedure to determine responsibilities for the criminalities. In addition, it should also be considered how social support to help the offender fulfill his or her responsibilities should be positioned in the criminal justice procedure. In recent years, our research has focused on, in particular, how criminal procedure and social support should be provided for disabled persons who act against the criminal laws, who are a type of offenders usually put in the situation difficult to fulfill the responsibilities in response to the criminalities.
