STALKING LAWS IN JAPAN

Japan has adopted the Anti-stalking Act which covers, “Making silent calls, or calling, transmitting using a fax machine or sending text messages through any text messaging service persistently despite his/her rejections” ….  “against a person, his/her spouse, lineal blood relatives or relatives living together, or any person who has a close relationship in social life with him/her for the purpose of satisfying one’s affection, including romantic feelings, toward any person or fulfilling a grudge when the said affection is unrequited.” Other provisions of the Penal Code on intimidation (article 222(19)), compulsion (223(1)), defamation (230(1) or insults (231) may also be applied according to the Council of Europe Portal.


In Japan, stalking is listed as a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment with work and fines. It can be concluded that almost all victims receive additional guidance, however, this has been criticized as insufficient. Statistical studies with a wider scope should be introduced, while the law should be revised regularly and expanded to include clinical therapy for perpetrators (Japan’s Policy Against the Crime of Stalking).
