Learning Objectives (2 of 2)
10.4 List and explain three aspects of Japanese policing that
may help explain the police role in Japan’s comparatively low
crime rate
10.5 Explain how the Japanese preference for compromise and
conciliation and the importance of apology affect how the
country’s judiciary operates
10.6 Describe how probation and parole operate in Japan

Why Study Japan?
Appropriate case study because:
Japan’s criminal justice system seems to provide an effective
response to the crime problem
Japan’s effective criminal justice system owes much to the
policies and procedures found in other countries
Showing how successful adaptation can be a goal of
comparative criminal justice

Cultural Patterns (1 of 3)
May be helpful in understanding the relative success of Japan’s
social control model
Identifying broadly stated cultural values that are shared in a
society helps make sense of the complexity and variation found
in all societies
BUT, must be careful that reference to cultural patterns is not
taken to mean cultural stereotypes
Four cultural patterns (that may or may not be applicable to
everyone who happens to be Japanese) are considered

‹#›
Cultural Patterns (2 of 3)
May be helpful in understanding the relative success of Japan’s
social control model
Homogeneity
Japan is ethnically homogeneous with almost 99% of its
population being Japanese
This similarity is reflected in an expression of similar values
and commonly held norms (making social control easier)
Contextualism and Harmony
Standards of morality and ethics are determined by reference to
the group and the setting
Maintaining harmony, or at least its appearance, is important

‹#›
Cultural Patterns (3 of 3)
May be helpful in understanding the relative success of Japan’s
social control model
Collectivism
A sense of self-worth and identity comes from the groups to
which one belongs
Family and group orientation results in a sense of collective
responsibility and of obligation toward others
Hierarchies and Order
Police, courts, and corrections officials are seen as guardians
of society’s morals and enforcers of the law
Collectivism and a sense of order encourage cooperative
relations between citizens and justice agencies
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
‹#›
Bureaucratic Informalism
Emphasizes desirable sanctions as private, indirect, and
ambiguous
Similar in concept to legal informalism, which was identified
in Chapter 4 as a key characteristic of the Eastern Asia legal
tradition
Use “bureaucratic” because in Japan the informal process has
more transparent attachment to administrative policy
Refers to preference for an informal response to misbehaving
individuals
Proceeding through each stage of the formal justice process,
one finds an informal system reinforcing the formal process

The Police Role
Key factors
Officer Deployment
Police coverage via koban and chuzaisho rather than patrol cars
means officers are active, involved, and valued members of the
community
Citizen Partner
Formal and informal associations, including crime prevention
activities, link citizen and officer
Service
Officer’s presence in community is considered routine and
result is cooperative service orientation
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Judiciary
Tactics showing preference to handle disputes informally
Compromise & conciliation
At pretrial stage, majority of non-traffic offenses are
investigated and processed by police without arrest
Prosecutors suspend without prosecution about half of the
criminal cases
Even in cases going to trial, majority undergo summary
proceedings rather than formal trial
Apology
Asking offender to apologize to victim is tactic police use to
handle minor offenses
At pretrial stage, apology formally offered in informal setting
can be both punishment for embarrassed offender and
expression remorse to compensate vicitm
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Corrections (1 of 2)
Many offenders are handled in the community, but few are
actually supervised
Probation
Available only as a complement to a suspended execution of
sentence
Supervision is by probation officers assisted by rehabilitation
coordinators and volunteers
Parole
There is no right to parole or even to apply for it
Request is initiated by prison head on behalf of prisoner
Supervision is by same agents used for probation
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Corrections (2 of 2)
Highly centralized, unified, and coordinated prison system
Penal institutions include adult and juvenile prisons with some
designated for women
Sentenced inmates over age 60 have increased since 1990s and
now about 12% of prison population
Inmates have opportunities for work, education, and
rehabilitation
Incentive pay encourages work and provides post-release funds
Classes from elementary to college level match inmate needs
and abilities
Rehabilitation ranges from general guidance to specific
treatment programs

Learning From Comparative Studies
Borrowing is both possible and desirable
Not a question of whether countries can learn from each other,
but how unfamiliar ideas can be made effective in a different
setting
Example of police deployment
Japanese-style deployment seems possible in the U.S. because
there is no compelling cultural factor inhibiting its use
Koban-like units may be (and are) showing potential in public
housing projects, shopping malls, near transportation and
community centers

Distinguishing Comparative Criminology and Comparative
Criminal Justice
Comparative Criminology
Studies crime as a social phenomenon and as social behavior
Comparative Criminal Justice
Determines how various countries attempt to maintain social
order and accomplish justice
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Comparative Criminology
Two problems when comparing crime in two or more countries
Ensure crime data from different countries have been defined,
reported, and recorded in a similar manner
Compile crime data in a manner that allows researchers to
compare countries over time
Crime as a social phenomenon
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Comparative Criminology (1 of 2)
Modernization Theories
Social processes accompanying industrial development result in
conditions conducive to increased criminality
Civilization Theory
The link between crime and civility suggests that violent crime
decreased as civility transformed violent societies into more
peaceful ones
World System Theory
As capitalism expands, it disrupts indigenous cultures and
traditional means of subsistence and results in inequality and
class conflict
Crime as social behavior
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Comparative Criminology (2 of 2)
Opportunity Theory
Crime’s occurrence results from modern economies and social
organization providing increased opportunities to engage in
criminal behavior
Feminist Theory
Examines how indicators of gender inequality influence crime
rates, especially gender differences in crime rates and
differences in rates of gendered crimes
Crime as social behavior

Transnational Crime
Types mentioned in the textbook
Cybercrime
Corruption
Drug Trafficking
Money Laundering
Maritime Piracy
Theft of Art and Cultural Objects
Trade in Human Body Parts
Trafficking in Persons
Terrorism
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Cybercrime
Computers linked to criminal activity in three general ways
Cyber Attacks
Computer system itself is a target of the criminal act
Cyber Theft
Computer is used as a tool in committing a crime
Other computer security incidents
Such as spyware, adware, hacking, phishing, etc.
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Corruption
The abuse of entrusted power for private gain
Undermines a country’s political, social, and economic
stability
Contributes to global crime since transnational criminals are
aided by the complicity of corrupt public officials
Countries are encouraged to criminalize such forms of
corruption as bribery, embezzlement of public funds, influence
trading, and concealment of corruption proceeds
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Drug Trafficking
Three sectors to consider
Production
Cannabis production has been stable, opium poppy cultivation
decreasing, and coca cultivation rising
Trafficking
Cannabis is locally produced and consumed, but cocaine
trafficking is interregional and heroin trafficking both local and
interregional
Consumption
About 1 in 20 adults aged 15-64 used at least one drug in 2014
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Money Laundering
Process by which proceeds from unlawful activity are concealed
Typically takes place in a three-stage process
Funds are moved from direct association with the crime, hidden
in a legitimate business, then made available to the criminal
again
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Maritime Piracy
A very serious crime today
Actual and attempted pirate attacks have decreased since
2011—now numbering about 250 incidents each year
Most contemporary attacks occur in the area of Southeast Asia
and the Indian subcontinent
Pirates often target oil and chemical tankers
Pirates steal ship’s equipment and cargo and crew, ship, and
cargo can also be held for ransom
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Theft of Art and Cultural Objects
Unlawful acquisition of objects that are part of a country’s
cultural legacy
Black market in works of art is becoming as lucrative as is the
market for drugs, weapons, and counterfeit goods
The crime occurs in all countries, but is now an increasing
trend in Middle East countries
Private homes, museums, and places of worship are common
targets
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Trade in Human Body Parts
Three broad categories of organ trafficking
Traffickers force or deceive the victims into giving up an organ
Victims agree to sell an organ, but are cheated because they are
not paid for the organ or are paid less than the promised price
Vulnerable persons are treated for an ailment, which may or
may not exist and organs are removed without the victim’s
knowledge
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Trafficking in Persons (1 of 2)
Differs from migrant smuggling
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Trafficking in Persons
Major types are sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Terrorism
Hard to define since terrorists and terrorist acts have few
common traits
No single, universally accepted definition of terrorism, but
violence and political motivation are considered important
aspects
Using the U.S. Department of State definition, in 2013 there
were almost 10,000 terrorist attacks worldwide, taking place in
93 different countries with the majority occurring in Iraq,
Pakistan, and Afghanistan
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
Response to Transnational Crime
Combatting transnational crime requires collaboration and
cooperation among countries
National Efforts
The U.S. combats transnational crime through enhanced
inspection, detection, and monitoring of borders and with an
abundance of agencies dealing with some aspect of transnational
crime
International Efforts
INTERPOL facilitates cross-border criminal police cooperation
to combat transnational crime
UN operates much of its crime and justice work through the
Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All
Rights Reserved
International Crime
Crime that violates international law
Types of International Crime
Genocide
Crimes against humanity
War crimes

All Rights Reserved
  • 2. Learning Objectives (2 of 2) 10.4 List and explain three aspects of Japanese policing that may help explain the police role in Japan’s comparatively low crime rate 10.5 Explain how the Japanese preference for compromise and conciliation and the importance of apology affect how the country’s judiciary operates 10.6 Describe how probation and parole operate in Japan Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Why Study Japan? Appropriate case study because: Japan’s criminal justice system seems to provide an effective response to the crime problem Japan’s effective criminal justice system owes much to the policies and procedures found in other countries Showing how successful adaptation can be a goal of comparative criminal justice Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Cultural Patterns (1 of 3) May be helpful in understanding the relative success of Japan’s
  • 3. social control model Identifying broadly stated cultural values that are shared in a society helps make sense of the complexity and variation found in all societies BUT, must be careful that reference to cultural patterns is not taken to mean cultural stereotypes Four cultural patterns (that may or may not be applicable to everyone who happens to be Japanese) are considered Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved ‹#› Cultural Patterns (2 of 3) May be helpful in understanding the relative success of Japan’s social control model Homogeneity Japan is ethnically homogeneous with almost 99% of its population being Japanese This similarity is reflected in an expression of similar values and commonly held norms (making social control easier) Contextualism and Harmony Standards of morality and ethics are determined by reference to the group and the setting Maintaining harmony, or at least its appearance, is important Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 4. ‹#› Cultural Patterns (3 of 3) May be helpful in understanding the relative success of Japan’s social control model Collectivism A sense of self-worth and identity comes from the groups to which one belongs Family and group orientation results in a sense of collective responsibility and of obligation toward others Hierarchies and Order Police, courts, and corrections officials are seen as guardians of society’s morals and enforcers of the law Collectivism and a sense of order encourage cooperative relations between citizens and justice agencies Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved ‹#› Bureaucratic Informalism Emphasizes desirable sanctions as private, indirect, and ambiguous Similar in concept to legal informalism, which was identified in Chapter 4 as a key characteristic of the Eastern Asia legal tradition Use “bureaucratic” because in Japan the informal process has more transparent attachment to administrative policy Refers to preference for an informal response to misbehaving

All Rights Reserved Judiciary Tactics showing preference to handle disputes informally Compromise & conciliation At pretrial stage, majority of non-traffic offenses are investigated and processed by police without arrest
  • 6. Prosecutors suspend without prosecution about half of the criminal cases Even in cases going to trial, majority undergo summary proceedings rather than formal trial Apology Asking offender to apologize to victim is tactic police use to handle minor offenses At pretrial stage, apology formally offered in informal setting can be both punishment for embarrassed offender and expression remorse to compensate vicitm Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Corrections (1 of 2) Many offenders are handled in the community, but few are actually supervised Probation Available only as a complement to a suspended execution of sentence Supervision is by probation officers assisted by rehabilitation coordinators and volunteers Parole There is no right to parole or even to apply for it Request is initiated by prison head on behalf of prisoner Supervision is by same agents used for probation Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc.

Corrections (2 of 2) Highly centralized, unified, and coordinated prison system Penal institutions include adult and juvenile prisons with some designated for women Sentenced inmates over age 60 have increased since 1990s and now about 12% of prison population Inmates have opportunities for work, education, and rehabilitation Incentive pay encourages work and provides post-release funds Classes from elementary to college level match inmate needs and abilities Rehabilitation ranges from general guidance to specific treatment programs Copyright © 2018, 2013, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Learning From Comparative Studies Borrowing is both possible and desirable Not a question of whether countries can learn from each other, but how unfamiliar ideas can be made effective in a different setting Example of police deployment Japanese-style deployment seems possible in the U.S. because there is no compelling cultural factor inhibiting its use Koban-like units may be (and are) showing potential in public housing projects, shopping malls, near transportation and community centers
