Abstract

Norio Nagayama was a 19-year-old serial killer in 1968 in Japan. Nagayama’s life and works were also evaluated as a contact point for showing the lowest classes in the 1960s and 1970s. In this article, I will progress a comprehensive study of various academic issues by focusing on juvenile crime. Also, examine how he influenced Japan’s current view on juvenile crime and find out the possibility of modern interpretation. First, as for the legal impact, established the criteria for choosing a juvenile death penalty, such as the ‘Nagayama Standard,’ informs that the argument of severe punishment of juvenile crimes, and death penalty issues were reviewed early in Japan. Second, Nagayama’s notes led to an apology for the victim’s family without showing off the crime itself. Accordingly, Japan learned that the cause of crime can be found in the (non)fictions of juvenile criminals. It confirmed that it is important to set up a place for thinking about analyzing and transmitting various causes of juvenile crimes through non-fictions or literary works. Finally, Nagayama’s novels were meaningful as a realisㄴtic work and record to find the cause of a juvnile’s crime.
