A Narrative Analysis Of Judicial Attitudes Towards Sexual Harassment In Japan, Leon Wolff
A Narrative Analysis Of Judicial Attitudes Towards Sexual Harassment In Japan, Leon Wolff
Leon Wolff
This study applies a narrative analysis of the first two judicial decisions on sexual harassment in Japan to test claims of a culture of gender bias in Japanese judicial attitudes towards victims of sexual violence. Although the results do not provide an unambiguous support or rebuttal of gendered justice in Japan, they do reveal some of the dangers of narrative analysis as a basis for making generalizable claims about how law functions in Japanese society.
