FAMILY VIOLENCE IN JAPAN GEBUNDEN

This book provides fresh sociological analyses on family violence in Japan. Aimed at an
international audience  the authors adopt a life course perspective in presenting their
research. Following a comprehensive overview of family violence in Japan in both historical and
contemporary contexts  it then goes on to define the extent and causes of child abuse  intimate
partner violence  filial violence  and elder abuse. In doing so  the book is the first of its
kind to look at these different types of violence in Japanese families and simultaneously
incorporate historical development of individuals and intergenerational factors. Furthermore 
its reliance on the life course perspective enables readers to obtain a broader understanding
of family violence in the country. Written by five Japanese family sociologists who have
identified various major sociocultural characteristics that either induce or suppress family
violence in Japan  it is a valuable resource not only to scholars and students of the topic 
but also to those specializing in sociology  psychology  anthropology and comparative family
studies around the globe.
