Opis

Japanese youth and foreign migrants face stringent institutionalized 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; violation of informal and formal norms). It provides a comprehensive detailed description and explanation of inequality and deviance of Japanese youth and seventeen foreign migrant groups. The book is aimed at individuals, students and academicians interested in Japan area studies.
