ストーカーによる殺人などの重大事案を防ぐため、警察庁は15日、悪質な加害者に全地球測位システム(GPS)機器を装着し被害者との接触を防ぐ新制度の是非などを検討する有識者会議を設置すると発表した。会議では加害者にカウンセリングや治療の受診を義務付けるかについても議論。19日に初会合を開く。

性犯罪、仮釈放でGPS 同意前提、法務省試行へ

会議には憲法や刑事政策に詳しい大学教授や弁護士、カウンセリングの専門家ら8人が参加。2012年に神奈川県逗子市で起きたストーカー殺人事件の遺族も委員を務める。

GPSの活用は、ストーカー規制法に基づき付きまといなどを禁じる禁止命令に従わないといった加害者に機器を装着させ、被害者への接近を検知すれば警告を発する仕組みなどが想定される。同庁によると、スペインやドイツでは、ストーカーやDV(家庭内暴力)の加害者を監視し、被害者にある程度近づくと警察が対処する制度がある。ストーカーへのGPS装着を23年に導入した韓国では、装着者による殺人事件は起きていないという。

Can I laugh with inmates? Prison officers begin to take off their administrative “armor”

More than a year has passed since prison reform began, emphasizing rehabilitation and social reintegration, and prison officers are now required not only to maintain discipline, but also to be close to and care for inmates. A prison officer participating in a ``person-involved research'' program at Sapporo Prison revealed that he felt strong resistance when interacting with inmates, and expressed conflict with his previous work attitude.

National Police Agency Expert Committee to discuss requiring GPS and medical treatment for stalkers

On the 15th, the National Police Agency announced that in response to the worsening problem of stalking, it will set up an expert panel to discuss measures such as installing GPS devices on perpetrators to alert them when they approach the victim, and making it compulsory for them to undergo treatment and counseling. The study committee will hold its first meeting on the 19th, and plans to compile a report and move forward with the creation of a system with a view to amending the stalking control law. In July, the government decided on emergency measures to prevent the spread of fraud and stalking damage, and the establishment of this review committee is based on that. The committee will include academics, experts, victim support lawyers, and the bereaved families of the 2012 stalker murder case in Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture. There are many points of contention, including who should be fitted with GPS and for how long, the extent to which location information can be shared, and the need for court review. The direct trigger was the stabbing of a female part-time employee at the Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo in Ikebukuro, Tokyo in March of this year.The suspect's former boyfriend was arrested, briefly prosecuted, and released for violating the Stalking Control Act, but had refused to undergo treatment or counseling.

How to decide on cigarette butts? President Ohsho shot to death, sentenced on 16th - Kyoto District Court

On the 16th, the Kyoto District Court will sentence Yukio Tanaka (59), a member of the designated organized crime group Kudo-kai-kei-gumi, who was charged with murder and other crimes in the 2013 shooting death of Takayuki Daito, the former president of Ohsho Food Service, which operates Gyoza Ohsho. The issue is the culprit, and while there is little direct evidence of the defendant's involvement, the focus is on how to judge circumstantial evidence such as the saliva DNA type found on two cigarette butts found at the scene matching that of the defendant. Prosecutors are seeking a life sentence, alleging that the defendant ambushed him alone in front of the company's headquarters, shot him at close range, and then fled on a stolen motorcycle. The defense contends that the cigarette butt was left behind by the criminal in order to trap the defendant, and is contesting the reliability of the DNA test. The case was subject to a jury trial, but it was tried only by a judge out of fear of harming the jurors and their families.
