Reviews / Votes
"Agrowing number of books and articles in English have described and analyzed Japanese society and its 'miracle economy.' Now and then the 'safe streets' have been mentioned, but little of substance and reliability has been said about the approaches of the Correction Bureau and the Rehabilitation Bureau."-Elmer H. Johnson, from the PrefaceMore details
