Description:	The subject of the book is a sociological study of family violence in a life course perspective. The method of analysis is the summary of governmental publications, research articles, and media reports on child abuse, IPV, youth and fi lial violence, and elder abuse. Each topic/chapter taps on the defi nition, historical development, the extent of violence today, research in Japan, development of legal measures, and future prospects. As family violence is a very sensitive area, it is diffi cult to conduct survey research in Japan. Such nationwide extensive survey analyses as those conducted by Murray A. Straus and his associates in the United States are not feasible in Japan. And, therefore, the scope of the problem and the truth is not known even to Japanese people, much less so to non-Japanese-speaking people. This study will attempt to inform all people on the state of family violence in Japan in a life course perspective.
