Law and custom in Japan: some comparative reflections

چکیده
Japan is now one of the leading industrial capitalist countries in the world. It is widely held to be an economic miracle, emerging twice to dominate Asia. Yet this miracle has been achieved without leading to those two banes of almost all other advanced industrial societies, high and rising crime rates and an epidemic of civil litigation. If, as Haley suggests, 'Japan's success in reducing crime is an achievement that must be reckoned as its most spectacular postwar feat', then its ability to run the most sophisticated industrial market economy in the world with a very low level of litigious confrontation must be reckoned an equally singular achievement.
