From 1895 to 1945, Japanese society became obsessed with juvenile delinquency. According to contemporary reports, Japan's cities, symbols of the nation's rapid advance into the modern age, harbored a host of miscreant youths—vagrants, thieves, ruffians, idlers, and sexual degenerates—whose presence constituted a malignant growth on the social body. Concerned authorities responded by promoting a national movement to protect Japan's young.

520 $a From 1895 to 1945, Japanese society became obsessed with juvenile delinquency. According to contemporary reports, Japan's cities, symbols of the nation's rapid advance into the modern age, harbored a host of miscreant youths—vagrants, thieves, ruffians, idlers, and sexual degenerates—whose presence constituted a malignant growth on the social body. Concerned authorities responded by promoting a national movement to protect Japan's young.
520 $a This dissertation examines the construction of a modern Japanese discourse on juvenile delinquency, the institutional and non-institutional mechanisms developed to socialize young people deemed at risk, and the actors involved in their creation. Focusing on developments at the national level and in Tokyo, I argue that juvenile protection constituted a crucial channel for the circulation of power and authority in modern Japan.
520 $a The rhetoric and practice of juvenile protection shifted over the decades covered in this study, but reformers consistently argued that the proper training of youth was the key to mastering the challenges of the modern era and thus to fortifying Japan's position as an industrial, imperialist power in a fiercely competitive international order. In their pursuit of national efficiency, authorities focused on intrusive pedagogical methods that came to be called “lifestyle guidance.” They also sought to mobilize a broad range of actors to police young people and their environments. This process of mobilization constituted a crucial feature of the modern Japanese polity in periods of both peace and war.
520 $a Juvenile protection programs can by no means be reduced to a set of policies imposed by an oppressive state upon a civil society, or by a “ruling class” on “the people.” Government officials, professionals, social reformers, and local notables cooperated in the construction of a highly interventionist regime of socialization that sought to reconstitute homes, schools, workplaces, and the spaces that connected them. Popular responses to new forms of intervention ranged from willing cooperation to outright resistance. Juvenile protection programs did not always achieve their desired objectives, but they significantly reshaped the everyday lives of an increasingly broad segment of the Japanese population.
