      title = {Crime in Japan : a psychological perspective /},
      abstract = {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 of criminal  psychology. --},
