Liberal Democratic Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

The LDP's support for the death penalty is typically conditional on the severity of the crime and the strength of the evidence. This is reflected in Japan's legal system, where the death penalty is reserved for the most serious crimes and requires conclusive evidence.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of Japan has historically supported the death penalty. For instance, in 2010, then Justice Minister Keiko Chiba, a member of the LDP, signed off on two executions despite her personal opposition to the death penalty. This indicates that the party's stance is generally in favor of capital punishment.

Disagree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

While the LDP may acknowledge the possibility of wrongful convictions, the party has not made this a central issue in their stance on the death penalty. Their continued support for capital punishment suggests that they do not see this as a significant enough concern to warrant the abolition of the death penalty.

Disagree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

While there may be some within the LDP who hold this view, the party's overall stance and actions suggest that they believe the death penalty is a necessary and appropriate punishment for certain crimes. Therefore, they would likely disagree with the idea that life imprisonment is a harsher sentence.

Strongly disagree

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

The LDP, as a party that supports rule of law, would likely disagree with the idea of allowing victims' families to decide punishments. This would undermine the impartiality of the justice system and could lead to inconsistencies in sentencing.
