日本の殺人罪は故意による殺人をさす。過失による殺人は、過失致死罪か傷害致死罪になる。故意による殺人であるかどうか、殺意があるかどうかで変わる。日本の法定刑では、殺人罪は死刑もしくは5年以上の懲役が課せられる。殺意があるかどうかは、傷の程度、犯行後の言動、動機の有無により客観的に判断される。傷害致死罪が適用された場合、3年以上の有期懲役になる。日本の無期懲役と終身刑は異なる。無期懲役の場合でも、10年経つと仮釈放され、社会復帰できる可能性がある。日本は終身刑を導入すべきだ。

Translation / English

In Japan, murder means a murder case with intension.
The one without intension becomes manslaughter or inflicting bodily injury resulting in death.
The basis to decide is whether there is a intention to kill or not.
In the Japanese statutory penalty, the murder is assigned to the death penalty or penal servitude more than five years.
It is determined objectively whether there is a murderous intent by degree of the wound, behavior after the crime, and having motive or not.
When a charge of inflicting bodily injury resulting in death is applied, it becomes the penal servitude for a definite term more than three years.
The penal servitude for a indefinite term is different from imprisonment for life of Japan;
even in case of the penal servitude for a indefinite term, a criminal has possibility to be paroled and come back to normal life when ten years pass.
Japan should introduce imprisonment for life.

Translation / English

In Japan, the definition of the criminal homicide is the killing someone with intension. The involuntary homicide is classified as either the manslaughter or the bodily injury resulting in death. The charge of homicide is varied depending on the intentional or not. In Japan, the statutory penalty, if convicted, of the criminal homicide is either the capital punishment or the imprisonment of more than five years. The homicide with a murderous intention or not is objectively judged based on the degree of injury, the words and deeds during the investigation and with or without motive. When a suspect is convicted by inflicting the bodily injury resulting in death, the rendering decision is the imprisonment with work with definite term with the term of more than three years. The penalty of the indefinite prison term in Japan has different interpretation from the life imprisonment. Although the conviction is the indefinite prison term, a convicted is released on parol after the penal servitude for ten years with potential opportunity for reintegrating into the society. Japan should introduce the criminal penalty of the perpetual punishment.

Translation / English

In Japan, the crime of murder is the murder on purpose. If it is not on purpose, it is called involuntary homicide or accidental mortality. It depends on whether it is on purpose or not, and you have intention to kill someone. Under the statutory penalty in Japan, if you commit murder on purpose, you will get the death penalty or more than 5 years imprisonment. It is objectively decided whether you have intention to kill someone by checking the wounds, the behaviour after your crime and the existence of the causes of the crime. If the accidental mortality is applied, you will get imprisonment for more than three years. The indefinite prison term and perpetual imprisonment are different in Japan. Even if you get indefinite prison term, it is possible to leave there after 10 years and you can go back to the society. Japan should introduce perpetual imprisonment.
