Agree

No

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

Strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would likely be at odds with the Komeito Party's principles of justice and rehabilitation being determined by the legal system rather than emotions or desires for retribution. The party's Buddhist-influenced values emphasize forgiveness and rehabilitation, which contrasts with the idea of retributive justice decided by individuals.
