Crime in Japan : A Psychological Perspective Hardback
by Laura Bui, David P. Farrington
Part of the Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Asia series
Hardback
Description
This book reviews research on psychology and crime in Japan, and compares the findings with similar research conducted in Western industrialised countries.
It examines explanations for crime and antisocial behaviour in Japan using research and theories from a psychological perspective. Topics covered include cultural explanations, developmental and life-course criminology, family violence and family risk factors, youth crime and early prevention, school factors and bullying, mental disorders, biosocial factors, psychopathy and sexual offending.
In some parts, it challenges and refines the prevailing belief that Japan is a society characterised by low crime and little antisocial behaviour.
This original project is the most up-to-date work on crime in Japan, and advances the important field of psychological criminology.
