Hardcover, xvii + 175 pages, NOT ex-library. Interior is fresh, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Gentle external handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This work provides a comprehensive sociological analysis of family violence in contemporary Japan, utilizing a "life course perspective." It moves beyond a singular focus on intimate partner violence to examine various forms of abuse as they occur across different stages of life, including child abuse, sibling violence, elder abuse, and violence by adult children against their parents. The authors situate these phenomena within the context of Japan's unique social structures, cultural norms, and the pressures of a rapidly aging society. The book serves as a key text for understanding the complex dynamics of domestic violence in a non-Western context, offering insights for sociologists, social workers, and policymakers. -- Contents: 1 Introduction: Toward a Better Understanding of Family Violence in Japan / Fumie Kumagai; 2 Child Abuse: History and Current State in Japanese Context / Masako Ishii-Kuntz; 3 Intimate Partner Violence: Domestic Violence from Japanese Perspectives / Takayo Sasaki & Masako Ishii-Kuntz; 4 Filial Violence: An Unrevealed Problem for Decades / Rie Okamura; 5 Elder Abuse and Family Transformation / Yoko Hayashi; 6 Conclusion: Prevention and Intervention of Family Violence in Japan / Fumie Kumagai; Author Index; Subject Index.…

About the Author
Fumie Kumagai, Ph.D., is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Kyorin University, Tokyo, Japan. She obtained a doctorate from the University of New Hampshire at Durham under the direction of Professor Murray A. Straus, a founder of sociological studies of family violence. Subsequently, she served as a project assistant for Prof. Straus on the U.S. National Family Violence Survey, and is well versed to family violence studies through a life course perspective. She has extensive experience in the West as a student, college professor and researcher. Her overseas experience affords her a unique cross-cultural perspective in the field of families and demography, social issues, and intercultural communication. In discussing Japanese society, culture, and families, she acts as a “voice in the wilderness” insisting it is vial to pay close attention to regional variations rather than taking Japan as a whole. She has authored 22 books, of them five in English, and numerous articles both in Japanese and in English.
Masako Ishii-Kuntz, Ph.D., is Professor of Graduate School of Humanities and Sciences at Ochanomizu University, Tokyo, Japan. Prior to her present appointment, she was a faculty member in Sociology Department at the University of
