Chikao Uranaka:

He had got a Ph.D. (Docteur en Science Politique) from Universié Toulouse I Capitole (France) in 2009. Under the question of why Japan has fewer crimes than other developed countries, he chosen" Police et contrôle social au Japon" as the theme for his thesis. Influenced by Weber's theory "the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force", he analyzed Japan's police system and social control through political, sociological and historical approaches.

After getting a Ph.D, he became a postdoctoral researcher at CERP (Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches sur la Police) Université Toulouse I Capitole (2009-2011). He was hired by the Faculty of Law, Kyoto Sangyo University in 2012. Currently, his research interests are political, social and police relations. With the rapid development of SNS and IT, the relationship between a State and its citizens is changing drastically. He is studying the impact of this change on police activities and citizens.
