Research and Education Policy

After working for 27 years as a psychological professional at juvenile classification homes and penal institutions under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, I am now engaged in education and research as a university professor specializing in the fields of justice and criminology. Although it is a field that is generally shunned, it is a very fascinating field that allows research to be conducted from various angles, such as human psychology and crime, social problems and crime, and environmental changes and crime. I would like to continue to approach crime issues mainly through case studies and social surveys (joint research).

Degrees Obtained

Message

Although I have gained a fair amount of clinical experience in the field, I am still inexperienced as a researcher. Let's learn together and improve our skills together.
