The police force in Japan has frequently been idealized by Western
commentators, who trace its origin to the American Occupation of
Japan (1945-52) "Police in Occupation Japan" challenges the
assumptions that underlie these accounts, focusing on the problems
that attended the reform of the Japanese police during the
Occupation. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Christopher
Aldous explores the extent to which America failed in its goal of
"democratizing" the Japanese police force, arguing that
deeply-rooted tradition, the pivotal importance of the black
market, and America's decision to opt for an indirect Occupation
led to resistance to reform. His study concludes with a
consideration of the postwar legacy of the Occupation's police
reform, and explores a number of recent controversies.
