This paper assesses Japanese juvenile delinquency from 1936 to 1988. This period encompasses some of the most important events in the history of Japan, including her only military defeat, occupation by a foreign power, and economic ascendance to superpower status. The paper also discusses the impact of modernization and affluence on the Japanese school and family, and attempts to explain selected juvenile property offenses with a theoretical framework of social control, anomie, strain, and reintegrative shaming. The paper concludes that increased individualism, egoism, and materialism in Japanese society may contribute to rising levels of juvenile embezzlement and theft
