 INTRODUCTION
• EAST ASIA IS A DIVERSE AND CULTURALLY RICH REGION, WITH CHINA, KOREA, AND
JAPAN HAVING SOME OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST CIVILIZATIONS. JAPAN, SOUTH
KOREA, TAIWAN, AND CHINA HAVE GROWN INTO ECONOMIC POWERHOUSES AND
LEADERS IN RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION OVER THE LAST 50
YEARS. THE TWO COUNTRIES ARE ECONOMICALLY AND CULTURALLY LINKED, BUT
BOTH HAVE A HISTORY OF WAR AND WARFARE. THIS TEXTBOOK EXAMINES THE
HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL UNDERPINNINGS OF EAST ASIA’S CURRENT POLITICAL
AND ECONOMIC DOMINANCE, AS WELL AS THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE REGION’S
CULTURES, VALUES, AND HISTORY HAVE PREPARED IT FOR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IN
THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.
 COMMONALITIES
•AN INTRODUCTION NOTES THAT CHINA IS COMMONLY VIEWED AS A SOCIETY IN WHICH
GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL OVER THE INDIVIDUAL IS ALMOST ABSOLUTE AND WHICH HAS
NO CRIME PROBLEM AND THAT JAPAN IS PERCEIVED AS A SOCIETY OF ORDER, CONFORMITY,
AND SAFETY. AN ANALYSIS OF JAPANESE SOCIETY CHALLENGES THE NOTION OF THE
COUNTRY AS A "SHAME CULTURE" WHERE SOCIAL PRESSURES TO FORCE ALL INDIVIDUALS
TO CONFORM, NOTES THAT NONCONFORMITY IS SIGNIFICANT AND HIGHLY VISIBLE IN
JAPANESE JUVENILE SUBCULTURES, AND DESCRIBES JAPANESE STREET GANGS AND
ORGANIZED CRIME. AN ADDITIONAL PAPER EXPLORES THE FEARS AND HANDLING OF
JUVENILES IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE INCREASING
FEAR OF CRIME AMONG YOUTHS, THEIR DISTRUST OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM RELATIVE TO
THEIR ELDERS, INCREASING JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN CHINA, THEORIES PROPOSED BY
CHINESE SCHOLARS, AND THE GONGDU (WORK-STUDY) SYSTEM IN WHICH MOST YOUTHFUL
OFFENDERS IN CHINA ARE PLACED. FURTHER PAPERS EXAMINE POLICING AND POLICE
PROCEDURE IN CHINA AND NOTE ITS INCREASING SELECTIVITY, DISCUSS ILLEGAL
ACTIVITIES AND IMMIGRATION POLICIES IN HONG KONG, CHALLENGE THE COMMON BELIEF
THAT A COMPLEX ORGANIZATION OF CHINESE CRIMINALS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HEROIN
EXPORTATION FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA, AND EXAMINE THE INCREASING FEAR OF CRIME IN
JAPAN AND THE GAP BETWEEN PERCEPTIONS AND REALITIES.

 DIFFERENCES

JAPAN
• THE RATE OF CRIME IN JAPAN IS GENERALLY LOW IN COMPARISON TO OTHER
COUNTRIES, RANKING FROM LOW TO MODERATE IN MOST CITIES AND TOWNS. HOWEVER,
ISSUES STILL REMAIN, AND MANY CRIMES MANIFEST IN SEVERAL FORMS, ESPECIALLY IN
REGARDS TO ORGANIZED CRIMES AND MASSACRES. IN 2015, JAPAN HAD ONE OF THE
LOWEST MURDER RATES IN THE WORLD, BUT HIGHER THAN SINGAPORE.
• JAPAN LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES ENDEAVOUR TO CONTROL THIS PROBLEM BY
EXTENSIVE COORDINATION WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATE ORGANIZATIONS AND
STRINGENT PUNISHMENT OF JAPANESE AND FOREIGN OFFENDERS.
• JAPAN HAS BEEN THE FOCUS ON THE PARADOX THAT CRIME IN JAPAN FOR MOST OF
THE YEARS AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR DECREASED OR ESTABLISHED WHILE THE
MODERNIZATION AND URBANISATION PROCESS DEVELOPED CONTINUOUSLY.
CHINA
• THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF CHINESE ORGANIZED CRIME IN THE UNITED
STATES IS QUITE COMPLEX, BROADLY DEFINED, THERE IS A GREAT VARIETY OF
CHINESE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION.
• THE CHINESE ORGANIZED CRIME PRESENCE, AND PROBLEM IS QUITE DIFFERENT
FROM THAT IN NEW YORK.
• ONE OF THE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT MAKES CHINESE ORGANIZED
CRIME DIFFERENT FROM OTHER FORMS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOME OF
THE STREET GANGS AND CERTAIN ADULT ORGANIZATION
