【Course Objectives】

The objective of this class is to examine legal issues related to interrogation and confessions. Students will deepen the understanding of the criminal justice system in Japan.

【Course Contents】

You can probably imagine the scene where the police interrogate a suspect to obtain a confession. This type of investigation is widely used in Japan. But if the interrogation is conducted improperly, there is a risk of violating the human rights of the suspect or creating a false confession.
It has been pointed out that the excessive dependence on the interrogation and the confession obtained through the interrogation is a persistent problem of the criminal justice system in Japan. There is also a criticism that the criminal justice system in Japan is a "hostage justice" system.
Even if one takes a critical stance toward the criminal justice system in Japan, it is necessary to understand its actual situation accurately. This course will provide students not majoring in law with basic knowledge about interrogation and confessions, and allow them to think about the Japanese criminal justice system on their own.
