New Visiting Researcher at iCourts - Miyu Nakata
Miyu Nakata is a PhD candidate at the Graduate School of Law, Waseda University, Japan. His area of research is substantive criminal law theory, in particular the doctrines of participation. His research focuses on developing a new theory of complicity that allows for flexible sentencing based on an individual's contribution to a crime. This research aims to propose a new theoretical framework that incorporates the advantages of the monistic system of principals, which allows for flexibility in sentencing according to the individual's contribution to the crime. Therefore, Danish criminal law and Austrian criminal law, where this system is applied, are the subject of comparative law.
Miyu Nakata is a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Japan and is visiting iCourts from 1 April 2024 to 20 December 2024.
