This study draws on direct observation of Japanese police practices combined with interviews of police officials, criminal justice practitioners, legal scholars, and private citizens. It incorporates data collected from different parts of Japan, including documents, reports, and other written material. As a key feature, the study compares many Japanese police practices side by side with U.S. police practices. It also places the investigation of police behavior within the setting of other criminal justice institutions such as the courts and prisons, and considers the role of the police in the broader cultural and historical Japanese framework.
