传统上，日本一直被认为是一个犯罪率低的国家。通过比较研究，我们可以深入了解美国和日本在犯罪方面的异同程度。这些研究的重要性在于考察西方建立的犯罪学知识是否适用于像日本这样的非西方社会。不幸的是，涉及日本和调查青少年犯罪的比较自我报告研究很少。目前的研究调查了大坂和西雅图男性青年的暴力风险因素和自我报告。调查结果显示，日本男性青年自我报告的暴力发生率高于西雅图男性青年。对暴力的风险因素、可比性问题以及风险因素之间关系的普遍性与强度进行了审查。它的结论是，在大坂的暴力发生率较高，主要是一个功能的较高患病率的麻烦同行和冒险。研究结果要求复制这类比较研究。
Traditionally, Japan has been regarded as a country with low crime. Comparative research has given insights into the extent of similarities and differences in crime between America and Japan. The importance of these studies is the examination of whether Western-established criminological knowledge is applicable to non- Western societies like Japan. Unfortunately, comparative self-report studies involving Japan and investigating youth offending are scarce. The current study investigates risk factors and self-reports of violence from Osaka and Seattle male youths. The findings reveal that Japanese male youths self-report a higher prevalence of violence than Seattle male youths. Risk factors for violence, issues of comparability, and prevalence versus strength of relationships of risk factors are examined. It is concluded that the higher prevalence of violence in Osaka is primarily a function of the higher prevalence of troubled peers and risk taking. The findings call for replication of this type of comparative research.
