商品描述

This book examines the underlying principles of criminal law, both substantive and procedural law. In continental law countries, the analysis of substantive criminal law has relied heavily on concepts such as "retribution" and "free will" under the strong influence of German legal thought. However, these concepts often lack a scientific basis and mean little for the function of criminal law in the real world. Norms prohibiting criminal conduct are not mere "ideas," but intersubjectively existent objects that affect human behavior and function in unique ways. As such, their force naturally depends on their enforcement. These norms function as a determinant factor in the decisions made through human consciousness; otherwise, criminal law would have no deterrent effect. However, this does not mean that the freedom guaranteed in liberal democracy can be violated arbitrarily; its protection must be the second principle of criminal law. Based on these discussions, this book proposes to take normative determinism and utilitarianism as the basis of analysis, and to establish normative deterrence and the protection of freedom as the two pillars of criminal law. With regard to procedural criminal law, this book argues that we should look at the adversarial and inquisitorial systems in their actual function, rather than focusing on their respective ideological doctrines, and try to identify the common practical principles to be followed from a utilitarian point of view. In these discussions, the book extensively examines the historical background of the two systems and examines, as an example, the serious deficiencies of the current criminal justice system in the United States. What is argued and proposed in this book is a creative application and development, in the field of criminal law, of the theory elucidated by H.L.A. Hart and Jeremy Bentham.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討刑法的基本原則，包括實體法和程序法。在大陸法系國家，實體刑法的分析在德國法律思想的強烈影響下，主要依賴於「報應」和「自由意志」等概念。然而，這些概念往往缺乏科學基礎，對於刑法在現實世界中的功能意義不大。禁止犯罪行為的規範並非僅僅是「觀念」，而是客觀存在的事物，影響人類行為並以獨特的方式運作。因此，這些規範的效力自然取決於其執行。這些規範作為人類意識中決策的決定性因素；否則，刑法將無法產生威懾效果。然而，這並不意味著在自由民主中所保障的自由可以任意侵犯；其保護必須是刑法的第二原則。基於這些討論，本書提議以規範決定論和功利主義作為分析的基礎，並將規範威懾和自由保護建立為刑法的兩大支柱。關於程序刑法，本書主張應該從實際功能的角度來看對抗制和詢問制，而不是專注於各自的意識形態教義，並試圖從功利主義的角度識別應遵循的共同實踐原則。在這些討論中，本書廣泛檢視了這兩種制度的歷史背景，並以美國當前刑事司法系統的嚴重缺陷作為例子進行分析。本書所主張和提出的，是在刑法領域中對H.L.A. Hart和Jeremy Bentham所闡明的理論的創新應用和發展。

作者簡介

Michiaki Ozaki

Born in 1952 in Fukui City, Japan, the author graduated from the Faculty of Law, University of Tokyo (LL.B.) and Harvard Law School (LL.M.). He worked for many years in public prosecutors' offices as a prosecutor and as an attorney for the Criminal Affairs Bureau, Ministry of Justice. He was involved in the investigation, prosecution and trial of

various crimes, including high-profile bribery cases, as well as criminal legislation and the negotiation of treaties such as the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. He also served as Director General of the Correction Bureau of the Ministry of Justice. Based on this extensive experience in the actual workings of the criminal justice system, as well as in-depth and continuous theoretical study and analysis of both substantive and procedural criminal law, he has published many articles in periodicals, including early works such as "The Science of Sentencing" (1989) and "Investigation of Organized Crime in the United States of America--Focusing on the Investigation of Federal Crime" (1995), which are included in this book. He published the Japanese version of this book in 2020 with the intention of proposing a basic theory of criminal law that is not based on dogmatic principles but on the scientific and empirical analysis of norm and utility, hoping that it will serve as a basis for further discussion and study in this field.
