The purpose of this study was to explore health promoting lifestyle behaviors (HPLBs) of college women in Japan. In addition, perceived health status and concerns were evaluated. The methods used were both qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data from focus groups with 38 Japanese college women were used to develop a questionnaire. Subsequently, 546 randomly selected college women responded to the mailed survey (response rate 54%). Forty percent of the college women respondents perceived themselves as "rather unhealthy" or "unhealthy." The investigator conclude that (1) perceived HPLBs, health status, and health concerns were mutually associated, thus, to increase perceived health status and/or decrease perceived health concerns, promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors must be considered; (2) the number of perceived motives or cues and the number of perceived health concerns of importance to college women must be considered to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors.

This book has three main objectives. Firstly, it examines Japan's organized crime syndicates (most commonly known as yakuza or bɵryokudan) with reference to the best available theoretical analyses of the Sicilian mafia and other manifestations of organized crime. Like the Sicilian mafia, the core competence of the yakuza is providing protection and, because of this, it can be considered a mafia. Secondly, it provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development, structure, and business activities of the contemporary yakuza. Thirdly, it investigates the relationship between the yakuza and the state, paying particular attention to the effects of the 1992 bɵryokudan countermeasures law. The collapse of the bubble economy during the early 1990s, which had a major impact on the yakuza's activities, makes it difficult to evaluate the impact of this law. The book concludes that the preference of the Japanese authorities for social control processes over formal mechanisms of enforcement and dispute resolution has created a conducive environment for private protection markets. Yakuza provision of such protection has been one consequence. Current developments in the set Japan's social, legal, economic, and political relations suggest, however, that this market is under threat.
