基本説明
This book demonstrates that deviance (mainly crime) is a direct outcome of inequality for both subordinate sub-cultural groups and that the laws and controls contribute to deviant behaviour rather than controlling it.
Full Description
Japanese youth and foreign migrants face stringent institutionalised controls in Japan. This book questions the efficacy of such social controls, focusing on the interrelation of inequality (powerlessness, discriminate controls and class inequality) and deviance (largely derived from power and the violation of informal and formal norms). It provides a comprehensive detailed description and explanation of inequality and deviance of Japanese youth and 17 foreign migrant groups. The book is aimed at individuals, students and academicians interested in Japan area studies.
