The statement was made by 255 former investigators who had been investigating in juvenile referrals at the family court. On the 3rd, the statement and signature were submitted to the Minister of Justice for a meeting at Satoshi Tokyo.
The legal council of the Ministry of Justice is discussing whether the juvenile law's protection target will be reduced to less than 18 years as adult age is reduced from 20 to 18 years as a result of a civil law revision three years later.
