摘要

背景死刑是解决犯罪问题的关键方法。尽管包括英国在内的许多国家已经废除了死刑,但日本仍保留死刑。本研究旨在阐明英国和日本公众对死刑和适用精神错乱辩护的看法。研究方法 通过网络调查来了解两国公众对死刑的看法,并了解支撑这些观点的原因。调查结果显示,大多数日本受访者和近半数英国受访者支持死刑。相反,日本公民大多反对提供精神错乱辩护,而英国公民似乎更容易接受。死刑的支持者相信死刑具有威慑作用,将其视为刑罚体系中一种相称的惩罚形式。这些发现可为讨论未来的政策方向提供有价值的见解。

An international comparison study between public opinion in the UK and Japan regarding capital punishment and the use of an insanity defense

Background

Capital punishment represents a pivotal approach to addressing crimes. Although numerous nations, including the UK, have abolished capital punishment, Japan upholds it. This study aimed to elucidate public opinion in the UK and Japan regarding capital punishment and the application of an insanity defense.

Methodology

A web-based survey was utilized to gauge opinions in both countries about capital punishment and to understand the reasons underpinning these viewpoints. Additionally, respondents’ perspectives on using an insanity defense were solicited.

Results

The findings revealed that a majority of Japanese and nearly half of the UK respondents were supportive of capital punishment. Conversely, Japanese citizens largely opposed the provision of an insanity defense, while the UK citizens appeared more accepting. Advocates for capital punishment held a belief in its deterrent effect, viewing it as a proportionate form of retribution within the penal system.

Conclusion

Several differences between the UK and Japan regarding public opinions toward capital punishment can be explained from several perspectives. These findings may offer valuable insights for discussing future policy direction.

期刊介绍: This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
