Abstract
Since the 1990s, Japan has faced increasing numbers and types of white-collar crime. Some of them are similar to major cases in the United States. For example, both the savings and loan crisis in the United States and the “Jusen” Housing Loan Company debacle in Japan relate to financial fraud involving thrift institutions. Similarly, both the U.S. Department of Defense scandal and the Japanese Defense Agency scandal concern contract fraud. The Ford Pinto case and allegations against Mitsubishi Motors Co. raise issues of purported “corporate homicide.”
