Drawing on detailed empirical fieldwork, the authors set these issues in a clearly articulated 'social constructionist' framework, and put forth a sociology of Japanese youth problems which argues that the Japanese media draw on an equally, if not more, perplexing gallery of social categories when it discusses youth than affluent Western societies such as the US or UK. Moreover, the book contends that Japan is no less replete with social problems involving young people and no less capable of generating hysteria over the fate of its youth. The chapters include case studies covering issues such as: Returnee children, Compensated dating, Corporeal punishment, Child abuse, The withdrawn youth, NEET (not in education, employment or training). By examining these various social problems collectively, A sociology of Japanese youth shows how seemingly disparate events follow a similar pattern and how clusters of concepts are historically linked."--Publisher's description. 410 0$aNissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series ;$v83. 606 $aSocial problems$zJapan 606 $aYouth$zJapan$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSocial problems 615 0$aYouth$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.235089956 701 $aGoodman$b Roger$f1960-$0790446 701 $aImoto$b Yuki$f1981-$01698033 701 $aToivonen$b Tuukka H.
