Requests:  0 Summary:  "A middle-aged carpenter beats his 91-year old mother to death and goes to work the following day, leaving the body for his wife to find. An 82-year old woman is jailed for 10 months for stealing fried chicken. Like nearly all defendants in Japan, they both plead guilty. What happens between plea and sentencing is the subject of True Crime Japan. In this fascinating crime book journalist and longtime Japan resident Paul Murphy provides a glimpse of Japanese society through a year's worth of criminal court cases in Matsumoto, a city 140 miles to the west of Tokyo. The defendants in these cases range from ruthless mobsters to average citizens, often committing similar crimes in rather different ways, and for different reasons. Based on court hearings and interviews with the defendants, their families, neighbors and lawyers--Murphy explores not only the motives of offenders, but the culture of crime and punishment in Japan. The resulting true crime book provides a lens through which to view this honor-shame based, conformist culture, and shows how, in its role within that culture, the court system reveals Japan to be, surprisingly to some, a land of true individuals"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.10952 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 364.10952 Murphy Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.10952 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.10952 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.10952 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.10952 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.10952 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 364.10952 Mu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.10952 Mu missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList
