Crime in Japan: A Psychological Perspective de Laura Bui

Crime in Japan: A Psychological Perspective: Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Asia

Autor Laura Bui, David P. Farrington
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 apr 2019
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.

Recenzii

“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)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book examines different aspects of crime and deviance in Japan using research and theories from psychological criminology. Dominant research literature often stereotypically claims that Japan has low crime compared to Western industrialised countries because its citizens are group-oriented, its social institutions benevolent and organised, and its public spaces are spotless and efficient. Bui and Farrington however found that there is a higher level of violence among young Japanese males compared to that among young American males. The authors use psychological criminology to investigate this claim and present what is known about crime and antisocial behaviour in Japan from a psychological perspective (e.g. mental disorders, brain dysfunction, and family criminality) and explain how this fits into the broader understanding of crime at the individual level. This original project is the most up-to-date work on crime in Japan and progresses the important, and underdeveloped, field ofcriminal psychology.
