O knihe
This book examines different aspects of crime and deviance in Japan using research and theories from psychological criminology. Dominant research literature has often stereotypically claimed that Japan has low crime rates 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. However, Bui and Farrington actually found that there are higher levels of violence among young Japanese males when compared to rates among the same demographic in America. The authors use psychological criminology to investigate this finding 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 of criminal psychology.
