Features: Criminal Policy Studies is a discipline that studies criminal policy. In Japan, it is also referred to as "Criminal Policy as an Academic Discipline" or simply "Criminal Policy." In Japan, publications on criminal policy studies appeared as early as the late Meiji period. Contemporary Japanese scholars place great importance on the study of criminal policy, and there are numerous published works on the subject. However, in our country, research achievements in this field are limited to a handful of works. In this context, the translation and publication of Professor Tatsuo Otani's "Criminal Policy Studies" by Li Hong hold significant meaning for promoting the study of criminal policy among Chinese scholars. Professor Tatsuo Otani is a professor at the Faculty of Law, Doshisha University in Japan, a member of the Criminal Law Committee of the Japanese Legal Policy Council, a former member of the Judicial Examination Committee, and a renowned criminal law scholar in Japan.
