Pressestimmen

 “Based on his decades of study of the Japanese criminal justice system, David Johnson delivered another excellent work on Japan’s capital punishment. With 120 pages only, the book is well structured and easy to follow. One dominant feature of this work is its comparative approach, by contrasting the Japanese practice with that of the United States (US). … This book provides an excellent review of the Japanese capital punishment, in comparison to the US practice.” (Bin Liang, Asian Journal of Criminology, Vol. 18 (1), 2023)
