The California judicial system and the United States federal system are different but comparable. Consequently, both the California and the United States federal judicial system handle different types of cases.

In “Remarks on Signing the Bill Providing Restitution for the Wartime Internment of Japanese American Civilians” by Ronald Reagan and “An Apology” by Kevin Gover, both passages give argument on how the existing government bears responsibility for its historical misconducts. First in the speech by President Ronald Reagan, he addresses how the American government is to this day still held accountable for their past actions towards people from Japanese ancestry living in the United States when the government forcibly removed them from their homes, placed them in makeshift internment camps without trial or a reasonable justification. Then in the second speech by, Assistant of Indian Affairs Department of the Interior, Kevin Gover, the speaker

More than 66% of the Japanese-Americans sent to the internment camps in the spring of 1942 were born in the United States and many had never been to Japan but still all were wrongly accused. Soon after the horrific bombing of Pearl Harbor, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 ordering all Japanese-Americans to evacuate the West Coast and leave their beloved homes. Although many Japanese American internees accepted their fates, there were still many who were strongly against incarceration and spoke their minds.

The Meiji Restoration played a significant role in the modernisation of Japan. The Meiji period was a time of political and social revolution. It brought momentous social, political and economic changes to Japan, and these changes became the foundation of the Japan we know today. Prior to the 1868 Restoration, Japan was a militarily weak country with a feudal agricultural society, and was controlled by feudal lords. When the Meiji period ended with the Emperor's death in 1912, Japan was a well-developed nation with a constitutional monarchy, an elected government, a strong economy, a powerful military and a well educated population.

Japan operates under the Eastern Asia legal tradition, whereas the United States operates under the common legal tradition. The differences are quite distinct. For example, according to Hahn (1983):

In 1868, provincial rebels overthrew the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan and the new leaders called the regime the “Meiji Restoration.” This was just the beginning for soon-to-be modernized Japan. A stronger military, new ideas, technology, and laws would be all used to transform Japan into a modern industrial nation. Because of these, modernization had a great effects on Japan’s society and the nation as a whole from 1850 to 1950. One effect modernization had was strengthening international presence and relations for Japan as a whole. This helped to keep them active on global terms and impacted them in a positive manner. Another effect modernization resulted in was the transformation of the internal society of Japan. The changes in the society all provided great benefits for Japan.

The Japanese court orchestra is organized into three main groups: The onstage group, The hidden orchestra, and singer-narrator and shamisen player.

Japan is generally weighed as being an eccentric, yet remarkable country compared to most. It 's unmistakable and precious culture, industrialized triumph, and immense conformity of the population is just a few examples. Having these standards, Japan has been examined and distinguished to be one of the most leading countries for the lowest crime rate in the world. “Japan shows the lowest overall crime rate with 22 incidents per 100 inhabitants, and the second lowest property crime rate” (Entorf, Spengler, 2002:21). This is a tremendous achievement for such an industrialized and high-populated country. Perhaps, some are contemplating on how Japan became to have one of the lowest crime rates, along with its influence and operation of its law enforcement system used today to service this success. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to educate and present a meticulous understanding of law enforcement in Japan as a whole. This paper will highlight the following: provide an analysis of the history, structure and organization of the Japanese system, the education and training requirements, issues being encountered regarding law enforcement, and the Japanese system that is being used currently.
