Addressing how the Ministry of  Justice in Japan justified capital punishment policy during the de facto  moratorium periods from 1989 to 1993, from 2009 to 2010 and from 2010 to 2012,  the author debates the misconceptions surrounding the significance of these moratoriums.  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe  book evidences the approach, rationale and evolution of Japan’s Ministry of  Justice in consistently justifying capital punishment policy during the  different execution-free periods and provides a better understanding of the  powerful unelected elite who actually drive the capital punishment system in  Japan. Based on parliamentary proceedings, public opinion surveys and  periodical reports by both international and domestic human rightsNGOs as  well as interviews of government ministers, NGO staff, pro- and  anti-death-penalty advocates, this text is key reading for those interested in  Japan, its government, criminal justice system and policies on the death  penalty and human rights.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-10-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137565303\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-55822-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 272\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752402808972,"sku":"9781137565303","price":58.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137565303.jpg?v=1775915656","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137565303","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
