Criminal procedure

…The realization of rights in civil relations can be achieved by agreement between the parties without resorting to litigation, but the realization of the right to punish is a relationship between the state and the individual, and therefore requires the implementation of criminal procedures.

[History]
Japan's legal system regarding criminal proceedings began with the adoption of Chinese law (Tang law) in the 8th century.
