With regard to the first point, it is critical that young people from lower social strata—as already mentioned—not perceive an academic career or knowledge gained at school as useful. Their life plans differ considerably from those of going to a good school, entering a good university and getting a job at a good company. Therefore, it seems that psychological strain from, for example, an “inferiority complex” or frustration arising from limited academic achievement, which scholars and journalists often infer is a major cause of delinquent behavior, is in fact not the cause of delinquent behavior.
They also know that this moratorium comes to an end at a certain age (mostly 18–20). This interpretation is more valid in the sense that the crime rate of Japanese juveniles falls within the older age sections of youth (see footnote 1). The same is also true for Turkish criminal adolescents in Germany. Bohnsack and Nohl (in press) demonstrate that problem behavior of German and immigrant adolescents in Germany reach its highest point in the middle of their adolescent crisis. After a period of “criminal actions” with peers, they begin to orient themselves to a non-criminal way in which they seek their own individual style of self-fulfillment.

The question that we must consider next is how valid the Japanese triangle is for diverse social groups. We will focus now on the question of which adolescents are most likely to misbehave and how they come to misbehave within the Japanese triangle, as well as on how this process differs from the processes in other societies such as Germany. 3. The Diversity of the Japanese Triangle Today in Japan, different social backgrounds of children and adolescents are less noted as a cause of problem behavior than in Western countries (Foljanty-Jost 2000, Metzler 2000, Sato 1991) There is, however, evidence to prove that adolescents from lower social strata who show poor academic performance also exhibit more delinquent behavior (see Yonekawa and Yoder in this volume).
