Every system of justice is inevitably found to be unjust. The question is in which direction, and how far.
This is a fairly basic outline of Japan's idiosyncratic nature. Sort of an easy week for me. Hope you like it!

Anyway, I would point out that the only people who are truly free in the USA is wealthy people (about 10% of the population). Poor and middle income people are seen as a threat to the rich and, therefore have to be controlled. This is done mainly through social and cultural manipulation. For example, poor white people in, say, West Virginia consistently vote in politicians who advocate policies detrimental to them for no other reason than cultural affiliation with one political party. Such tactics can hardly be described as " freedom".

@rr212 4 года назад

This Legal system is a total joke, and is inhumane to the extreme. I was released from Japanese custody last week (Charges were dropped by Japanese court.). The Japanese Justice system is not justice at all, it is all based around confessions, intimidation,cultural shaming and perceived remorse. People from where I live (U.K) and across the western world take a look at Japan’s crime stats on a piece of paper and say yep the Japanese are doing it right And we should implement their system. Not knowing how many holes there are in their system and what a disaster it would be. confessions are judged as the king of all evidence within Japan... which is reflected through all of the draconian practises the Police, prosecutor’s, Courts and the system in general use relentlessly to obtain it. They start from the second you are within their custody there is No access to an attorney during interview. The interview is not recorded. Up to 36 hour long police interrogations which are conducted with you tied up to the chair with no food or sleep. You will be screamed at, insulted, threatened, humiliated and physically abused. After this stage people are then put into a detention centre within the police station. This is 4 walls a floor and a hole in the ground for shitting. Welcome to your new home that is big enough to fit 4 people but has 6 in. You have no furniture or bed. The temperature will be so cold that you go into survival mode. You are unable to speak to anyone within your cell. English is not allowed to be spoken. You are fed on 1300Cals a day. You don’t see sunlight or go outside. You are unable to see, hear or have communication with your family. Access to BASIC medication, such as treatment for Severe diarrhoea or severe vomiting will be purposefully restricted unless you are actually dying. This period lasts 23 days at least, all the while to police and prosecutors are ‘working’ on a case to bring forward to a judge. In reality, they are doing all they can to psychologically and physically break you into confession. Once they have this it is looked at as the grandest piece of evidence and you will be behind bars and become one of the 99% of other people.

I admire the Japanese lady who represented me. without her, I would not of been able to gather all the evidence needed to have all charges dropped. Even though I knew inside I didn’t do anything to warrant the treatment I got, I was near a point of signing the confession statement to just at least get certainty, and to write to my family (which can only be done once you are found guilty and moved to the “Proper” prisons if that makes sense...)

@@rr212 technically you did do something illegal. Under Japanese law bringing in even one aspirin counts as importing controlled drugs. I just wanted to point that out for anyone traveling to Japan. While they will probably let you off with a warning, as the OP found even without technically being found guilty, and he may not have even been formally charged, they can do a lot to you. As far as implementing the Japanese legal system, you really can't do it without the Japanese culture. As the Japanese culture dies the legal system will become a much worse problem and I don't know if they will adapt in time.

@echomjp 4 года назад

@@m.richards6947 It is true that most trials don't get to court in the USA, but those who are truly innocent definitely have a good chance of getting their innocence proven if they do insist on taking it to trial. That is why prosecutions fight so hard to get confessions and plea deals in the first place in the USA, because they usually know pretty well that they are unlikely to convict beyond a reasonable doubt in the majority of cases. Where in Japan, you may be far less likely to be charged with a crime in the first place - since they want to avoid getting embarrassed on their end - but once you are charged, say goodbye to any chance of actual justice or due process. I wonder if it is better or worse for foreigners like myself who visit Japan, because on the one hand we would stick out a lot more, but on the other hand Japanese individuals are significantly less likely to want to deal with us because the risk for trouble is much greater.

While I think our justice system needs a lot of reform, it at least gives you a fair shot at something other than a mockery of a trial. Needing police reform and accountability is related obviously to the larger issue of justice. Edit: As others responded, intimidation tactics being used by law enforcement alongside public defenders being criminally underfunded and worked to their limits definitely are other issues that need to be dealt with.

@arfnore 4 года назад

@@truegopnik6591 In that case "acquittal! does not equal innocence. This is the problem that I have with these kind of assumptions; guilt and innocence, as determined by the judicial process, becomes variable in validity based on the subjective opinions of each individual. For example, in rape and sexual assault cases, here in Ireland, accused men will very often go through a detailed court process, be acquitted as innocent, yet still, somehow, be considered guilty. The reasons often given for this is that "just because someone is found innocent in court doesn't mean they didn't do it!" But that places these men in an intolerable position because it is simply impossible to prove that you DIDN'T do something; basic logic states that you cannot prove a negative! It also means that guilt, in these kinds of crimes, is based, not on an objective analysis of the facts, but, essentially, on the basis of one persons accusation (regardless how plausible!) The opposite is also true in sexual assault cases involving women as the perpetrators in Ireland. In the vast majority of such cases women, even when convicted of appalling abuse and neglect of children, are treated as much as a victim as the actual victim on whom the crime is committed. Often you will find hundreds of people campaigning on behalf of the CONVICTED female perpetrator, in order to have her released, for reasons including "she was pressured into it by a boyfriend" or "she was abused as a child"; excuses that are simply not available to any male perpetrator convicted of such an offense EVEN IF THEY HAD EXPERIENCED ABUSE AS A CHILD. The real reason why women get treated so differently is because, in the majority of peoples minds, men will ALWAYS be the perpetrators of sexual violence (and all men have a propensity for it both physically and emotionally); they will NEVER, EVER be the victim unless they were prepubescent children at the time of the offence and did not, themselves, commit offenses as an adult. Similarly, women are ALWAYS victims when it comes to sexual violence, or, when they are involved, their actions were always controlled and imposed by a male figure in their life. In this way, a very simple "truth" is ingrained in the wider social consciousness; men are perpetrators, women victims. Anything that goes against this "truth", like facts and evidence, are ignored or undermined because humans find it very difficult to accept they are wrong and that their attitudes need to change. It is within this context that the absolutism of court outcomes needs to be upheld. Yes, where there are mistakes they need to be rectified, but this needs to happen within the courts system, not in the wider public imagination. Yes people can campaign for their interests to be safeguarded, but this need to be guided by facts and evidence, not conversations on twitter. Sorry for the rant, but I studied this for years and it still annoys me.

@BaldMancTwat 4 года назад

@@chalkfourtyfive Well, they definitely have a lot of reasons for that. For one suicide is in Japan's culture. It's known that often Japenese people commit suicide to avoid shame. Also as was stated in the video their society has such a large emphasis on work, most people work in an office for 10 hours a day and even live in tiny apartments closer to their jobs rather than live with their wives and kids or other family. Meaning they are often lonely and obviously depressed as anyone would be working a job they hate only to give money to people they rarely even see.

Being accused of something makes you already guilty. Like for example, even if you didn’t do anything at all. But then a woman screams and accuses you of sexual harassment, the police wouldn’t want to hear your side and only think of you as a miserable person trying to deny what you’ve done. They are gonna tell you that you are so shameful for trying to escape it and even make you admit it no matter what. Even if you managed to prove your innocence the people around you will just think that justice wasn’t served. Also, even if you were a criminal and was freed from jail. You won’t find any job cause people think you’re a criminal no matter what and even if you convince them that you’ve changed they will still be concerned about hiring a “criminal”, they won’t see you as a fellow human and you most likely to get mistreated and discriminated once they know you have a history.

@joshuamoore8560 4 года назад

I once read a fascinating book on the Yakuza and their very existence, to this very day, is predicated on the way the justice system works. In Japan, the severity of the crime of which you're convicted doesn't matter; once convicted, you're a permanent member of the underclass. Part of the reason for recidivism in any society is the inability of the ex-con to go straight because no one will give them a chance. In my country the U.S., it's due primarily to a lack of trust, a lingering presumption of guilt. In Japan, hiring a "criminal" is shameful; if you consort and support "those people," you are considered the same as them and knowing how "those people" are forced to live, no one wants that for themselves and their families. It would be not only a black mark on one's family name, but would bring rebuke from one's ancestors. The ONLY recourse for such castoffs, the only way to make ends meet, is to fully join the criminal subclass. After all, if no one will let you earn an honest living, your only other option is a dishonest one.

@Garett Crook you have the problem backwards. The homeless in Japan are not a problem, not Japan doesn't have a problem of homelessness. Out of the sixty or eighty homeless I saw downtown near major tourist spots (on one trip) only one tried beginning from me. They don't leave trash and will actually pick up other people's litter. I have no idea where they go to the bathroom, but they don't even seem to piss in ally ways. The homeless do not interact with "normal" people. No one seems to reach out to them, there are no homeless shelters, not re-entry programs, I am not even aware of a soup kitchen. The homeless population have no presence in Japanese society because they are ashamed to be homeless, and seen as less than human. A sort of wild animal that roams around, but doesn't bother anyone. If I were to guess part of the reason the homeless population is so low is because social pressure to keep a job is so high. That and the high suicide rate. I would rather have the chance to get in a homeless shelter and get a job again, but risk prison, than just be viewed as such an abject failure that I couldn't even commit suicide, and have no real chance to get back into society/work.

Your next episode should be on how Japan keeps their homicide statistics low by reporting the results of murders as "unclaimed bodies" rather then as "victims" and opening a case. A case that would make things official, not get solved, and thus bring down their average. It's a weird category they're excelling in against all other national statistics especially since it's a classification most nations don't even have. It's like a whole county of people that just 'forgets' corpses face down in random ditches on the edge of town. Because that's a totally normal thing to have happen all the time.... :P

You really nailed it when you mentioned Confucianism as the root cause of this cultural refusal to question authority. You see the same pattern in Singapore, China, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong (though the latter 3 have moved significantly towards having a quasi-western ability to challenge the authorities in the face of injustice - think the democratization of S.Korea and the current HK protests). And sadly, it is so ingrained that many (particularly the older generation or the less-educated) are either silent, or actively complicit in their own subjugation.

They just pretend there's no heirarchy and women are equal. Western universalism.

The atrocities took place during the first years of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). Although many high ranking officers were tried, convicted, and subsequently executed after the Tokyo Trial (1946), the subject is still very controversial in Japan.
