Manage episode 400603738 series 3405437
Have you heard that America has twenty times the homicide rate of Japan? Have you heard why that is? You have probably been told it’s because there are so few guns there.
That’s not it at all. There are cultural differences which are significant. But there are differences in their criminal justice system which are huge. One of those differences is capital punishment.
The Japanese like the feeling of safety they enjoy in their country. The majority also support capital punishment.
Is the execution of a criminal abhorrent? Yes.
Murder is worse.
Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.
