From the book reviews: "The objective of this book is to challenge, using empirical research, the Japanese government's argument that it cannot abolish the death penalty because the vast majority of Japanese people are support it. ... the book is essential reading for all those with an interest in issues surrounding the death penalty and surveys of public opinion. It is sure to cause a major stir in debate over the death penalty in Japan." (Koichi Hamai, Social Science Japan Journal, Vol. 18 (1), January, 2015)
