17K03435, Offender Monitoring by GPS Technology, This study verified whether GPS Monitoring is suitable for Japanese criminal justice system. Since Electronic Monitoring (hereafter EM)) had been developed in early 80s, lots of countries introduced EM to prevent re-offendings by criminals. GPS monitoring is a different kind of EM to focus on specially sex offence. But some reports prove that GPS has no evidence to prevent sex offendings and argue that people should consider to make preparation for offenders to rebuild their lives. This study finally oppose to introduce EM aginst sex offenders in Japan.
26780042, A Comprehensive Study on the Sanctions against Sex Offenders, This research considers whether the sanctions against sex offender should be introduced or not in Japan.;There are 3 styles of the sanctions. First one is the "residence restrictions", which prohibit offenders from living in a certain places. However this cannot prevent reofendings. Second one is the "registration and notification". But these sanctions also do not have the effective effect in reducing re-offendings. And the third one is GPS Monitoring, which is very well-known. There are two of researches. And they show the completely opposite results, one of them says GPS has favorable effect and another one says that GPS is waste of the government's money because it lacks the effect. Therefore this research reached the conclusion that we need more detailed researchs about GPS monitoring.

23730072, The Comprehensive Study of Electronic Monitoring as the New Criminal Sanction, The Electronic Monitoring (hereafter EM) originally has been developed as the tool to reduce prison population.The EM however is not effective to reduce prison population, on the contrary, the number of prisoners keeps rising after intoroducing EM in European countries and the United States ( what is called, Net-Widening'). In addition the EM system fails to rehabilitate offenders.;The EM has not reduced the cost of criminal justice , contrary to the aim of authority, the EM in itself costs high. After all, this study challenges all the existing optimistic discussions about EM.
23330022, Rethinking about the Concept of the Re-Offending Prevention in the Criminal Justice and Research on the Diversion for Social Welfare, When the welfare comes to bear the support for rehabilitation of those who became suspension of indictment and a suspended sentence, it tends to ask criminal justice for the supervisor role. But as long as the welfare requires the consent of the client himself/herself as a premise, it is restricted naturally that criminal justice intervenes to welfare and the welfare must be prudent also in taking the viewpoint of criminal justice of re-offending prevention into oneself. Because its concept includes both support for a client and social defense in itself and may convert into social defense easily from support for a client according to social context. The welfare must not lose equal nature and independency to criminal justice.
20330015, A comparative research on the soc i a I sexy i cc order and the e I ectr i c monitoring as the non幼ustodial measures at the time of over幼rowded prison, Non-custodial measures recently contain not only a community treatment that means traditional rehabilitation or probation but also community punishment or measures that are used as an alternative imprisonment. The community treatment or probation is often combined with the electric monitoring or the social service order and it becomes to a kind of punishments. Therefore the probation lose the element of social case work and is changed to a way of surveillance from support of criminals. Some countries place the electric monitoring or social service order as a sort of punishments in the non-custodial measures.;On the other hand, there is an approach that will divert the disabled or aged persons who are exclusive from the welfare-netting and commit crimes repeatedly from the criminal proceedings before imprisonment, and will place the measures that join those people to the social welfare system in the non-custodial measures.;This research analyzed those two approaches from the point of view of the social inclusion and the protection of fundamental human rights of accused persons and prisoners. We pointed out that the electric monitoring or the social service order should not be introduced as a sort of punishments or a severe sanction combined with social treatments and not be also placed as noncustodial measures. Noncustodial measures should be free from the elements of punishment as much as possible and be connected to the social welfare. We call it the criminal proceedings connected to the social welfare.;On this point of view we analyzed critically the bill on the suspended sentence of a part of custodial sentence that can cause a tough policy and a preventive detention.
