Taught by way of 29 crime articles, with both original Japanese and English translations, the book offers real-world reading practice as well as an insight into the world of crime in contemporary Japan. Key vocabulary from the articles is repeated at the end of each translation and also in a glossary at the back, making it easier for students to memorise the kanji, hiragana reading & English translation.
