This chapter focuses on the recent revolutions in sentencing and criminal justice policy for sex offenders in Japan since the introduction of the Saiban‐in System (lay judge system) in May 2009. A single case called theNara casein 2004 in Japan had a huge impact on the criminal justice policy on sex crimes. Its impact can be seen in three different arenas: sex offenders' treatment programs in prison; sex offenders' treatment programs when they are on probation; and the tracking system for sex offenders' residences. The Japanese lay judge system is quite different from the jury system in the United States and the United Kingdom. Under this system, six lay people and three professional judges try the case together. It seems that, after the introduction of the lay judge system, many people are now interested in playing a more active role in crime policy.
