Abstract
Japan has been a hive of activity for comparative criminological research, especially research on East Asia; thus, excluding insights from Japan on the basis that Japan is not Hong Kong rules out a large proportion of work done on a nation that, at least prima facie, shares more cultural elements with Hong Kong than with Western nations. This chapter looks at Japan and its explanations of crime to draw out insights that help understand the societal context of Hong Kong and provides background to make sense of the book’s conclusions.
