THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANGLO-JAPANESE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM

英日刑事法律制度比较研究本课题的目的是对英国和日本的刑事法律制度进行比较，以了解两国刑事法律制度的优缺点。为了达到这一目的，项目成员访问了其他国家，收集了书籍、文章、案件报告、文件，并采访了警察、刑事律师、法官和监狱官员，试图从如何保护刑事法律制度中的人权方面对两种制度进行比较。我们不仅研究了两大法系的理论，也研究了两大法系的实践，我们发现，两大法系的理论和实践中有些部分是相同的，但大部分是不同的。造成这种差异的主要原因是两国审判模式的不同。英国有陪审团审判，而日本没有，因此我们今年的研究集中在陪审团审判上。

THE COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANGLO-JAPANESE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEMThe aim of this project is to compare the English Criminal Legal System and Japanese one in order to understand the merits and demerits of both Systems. To perform this aim, the members of the project visited each other country to gather the books, articles, case reports, documents and to interview the police officers, criminal lawyers, judges, prison officers.We tried to compare two systems in the respect from how to protect the human rights in the Criminal Legal System. We researched not only the theories but also the practices in both legal systems.We found that some parts of theories and practices are common but most parts of them are very different. The main reason of this difference comes from the differnce of the model of Trials in two countries. England has Jury Trial but Japan has not.Therefore we concentrate our research in this year on Jury Trial.
