Klappentext zu „Crime in Japan “
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.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Crime in Japan “

Pressezitat
"This book provides a thorough understanding of deviance and crime in a Japanese context from a psychological perspective. ... For readers seeking a comprehensive compilation of deviance and crime in Japan, this is a must-read. Much of the literature that examines the psychological perspective on crime comes from the Western world. I find this book invaluable, as little literature to date adopts a psychological approach to explaining deviant and criminal behavior in the Japanese population." (Heng Choon (Oliver) Chan, Asian Journal of Criminology, January 6, 2021)"The authors should be commended for taking the hardest step. ... It will have a wide appeal, from undergraduate teaching, to academic criminologists who are researching Japan, or any of the subject topics, for the first time." (Tom Ellis, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, November, 2020)
