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)</p><p></p><p>“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)</p><br />
