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.

On this episode of Voices in Japan, Ben and Burke discuss Carlos Ghosn's escape from what he has referred to as Japan's "hostage justice system."  In what can only be described as a spectacular fall from the highest level of business fame in Japan over two decades, Mr. Ghosn was out on bail, living in Tokyo, and awaiting trial for allegations of financial misconduct before fleeing the country to Lebanon in a dramatic escape last December by sneaking out of the country inside of a large box for musical equipment on board a private plane.  This episode covers the claims of an inside plot between Nissan and the Japan government to oust Mr. Ghosn from power, the ridiculous circumstances that allowed him to escape, and the scrutiny that Japan's legal system has been under for its treatment of suspects.
