The community and criminal justice in Japan
While Japan has consistently recorded the lowest official crime rate of any industrialized nation, the involvement of Japanese citizens and communities in the prevention and control of crime has remained unexplored.

A Longitudinal Analysis of Japanese Crime From 1926 to 1987
This study examines Japanese crime trends and explores an area rarely investigated by researchers. By focusing on relationships between penal code offenses known to the police and population growth in Japan over the last six decades, it is possible to gain further insight into Nihon's (Japan's) low crime figures. In addition, the paper compares Japanese and American crime rates for selected offenses. The findings support previous research that id…

Structurally, such a model can incorporate cross-cultural differences in terms of differential weights placed on these factors. The model was tested in sample s…
