Features: A significant opportunity for the development of human civilization is the impact, complementation, elimination, and integration of different cultures; the development of legal culture and systems is no exception. The exchange and development of legal culture between China and Japan over the past 1,200 years vividly illustrate this understanding. The influence of Japanese criminal theory and systems on China began in the late Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing era, as Western influences swept eastward, China inevitably emulated European law and created new laws to strengthen the nation. In terms of adopting Western law, Japan provided China with excellent references. Japan's old system was originally based on the Tang Dynasty law of China, but after the Meiji Restoration, it adopted European law, leading to a gradual rise in national strength and becoming a dominant power in East Asia in a single leap. Under the initiative of the International Criminal Law Research Institute of Renmin University of China, a group of Chinese middle-aged and young criminal law scholars who have studied or conducted research in Japan and are currently doing so have organized and compiled this "Series of Studies on Japanese Criminal Law." These young scholars all have a background in long-term professional research in criminal law and strong Japanese language skills, and they all maintain relatively close ties with relevant Japanese criminal law scholars. These conditions have laid a solid foundation for the content and quality of this series.
