Description
Book Synopsis
Japan is often described as an inclusive society, and yet the media reports record highs in crime and suicide figures. This book examines criminal justice in Japan, and questions whether Japan really is facing social malaise, or if the media are simply creating a 'moral panic'.Review Quotes
'...the strength in this book is its attention to current reactions to crime, not whether, why and to what extent crime is rising...The book should be of interest to a wide readership, but especially to policy makers, academics and students in the fields of criminal justice, comparative criminology, sociology, Asian studies, economics and mental health. If it were translated into Japanese, the interest from a wider group of academics, practitioners and policy makers in Japan would, without doubt, be immense.' - Social Sciences Japan Journal
