In this chapter, the development of guidance activities by police until the present era of police without borders is discussed. A modern society, which becomes more complicated and sophisticated, will suer great damage if someone commits a crime or causes an accident by negligence. erefore, the police are inclined to invest more resources for the prevention of crime and juvenile delinquency. e preventive activities for juvenile delinquency have been carried out in the local community. However, in Japan the activities are generally directed by the National Police Agency. From a historical viewpoint, I would like to analyze the development of the guidance activities by the Japanese police since the end of World War II in 1945.
