从表面上看，美国的错判问题似乎比日本更严重，因为它发现的这类案件要多得多。然而，这种差距可能比真实的更明显，因为日本在发现错误定罪方面做得很差。为了减少日本刑事司法和死刑中的错误定罪问题，改革者必须进行结构性改革，但他们也必须面对难以承认错误的“否认文化”（hitei no bunka）。
On the surface, it appears the United States has a more serious problem with wrongful convictions than Japan, for it has uncovered many more cases of this kind. Yet this gap is probably more apparent than real, for Japan does a poor job of discovering wrongful convictions. To reduce the problem of wrongful convictions in Japanese criminal justice and capital punishment, reformers must make structural reforms, but they must also confront a "culture of denial" (hitei no bunka) that makes it difficult to acknowledge mistakes.
