This book examines public attitudes to the death penalty in Japan,
focusing on knowledge and trust-based attitudinal factors relating
to support for, and opposition to, the death penalty. A
mixed-method approach was used. Quantitative and qualitative
surveys were mounted to assess Japanese death penalty attitudes.
The main findings show that death penalty attitudes are not fixed
but fluid. Information has a significant impact on reducing support
for the death penalty while retributive attitudes are associated
with support. This book offers a new conceptual framework in
understanding the death penalty without replying on the usual human
rights approach, which can be widely applied not just to Japan but
to other retentionist countries.
