Law and Customs in East Asia - A study of Capital Punishments

首先，我们可以考察远东各个时期、各个地区死刑理念和制度的特点，把死刑放在时间和空间的坐标上。事实证明，行刑的概念和目的是一致的。应该属于威慑，而不是报应。我们可以肯定，中国目前的死刑存在着许多证据，缺乏罪与罚的平衡。我们收录了所有合作者的文章，完成了题为《东亚的法律与习俗》的研究报告，涵盖了两个研修班的报告。我们相信，我们的研究成果将对当前日本废除死刑的问题做出很大贡献。

First of all we could examine the characteristics of ideas and systems of capital punishments in each period and each area in Far Eastern Asia, placing death penalty on the coordinate of time and space. It came to be verified that that there is the common conception and purpose to execute punishments. It should belong to deterrence, not to retribution.We could affirm that there are a lot of evidences in the present capital punishment in China which lacks the balance between crime and punishment.Including the articles of all collaborators, we completed the report of the research named "Law and Customs in East Asia", which covers the reports of two seminars.We believe that the fruit of our research could give much contribution to the present issue on the abolishment of the death penalty in Japan.
