Idealizing the Other? Western Images of the Japanese Criminal Justice System

Research output: Articlepeer-review

Abstract

In this article, works by David Bayley, John Braithwaite, and other prominent authors will be considered and juxtaposed against a new study of Japanese prosecutors by David Johnson, with a view to considering whether, in attempting to understand Japan’s experience of crime and criminal justice, Western criminologists have been guilty of “idealizing the other.”
