Early life and education
Jinsuke Kageyama was born in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture in 1948. He graduated from the Tokyo Medical and Dental University in 1972. For two years, Kageyama received psychiatric training at the University Psychiatric Clinic.

Career
In his 2011 lecture at the International Congress of the Society of Criminology Jinsuke Kageyama created, defined and proposed the terms and concepts of "Comprehensive Criminology” and “Integrative Criminology”.  He pointed out that E Kraepelin's psychiatric disease concept is actually based not on disease (morbid) entity, but on disease (morbid) form. Kageyama reformulated H Ey's psychiatric integrated theory Organo-dynamism as Organo-psychodynamism, which was the basis of the “Integrative Anthropology” and “Psychiatric Treatment Integration” (PTI) that Kageyama proposed. Other new concepts formulated by Kageyama include “Empathy Based Medicine (Psychiatry)" which emphasizes the important significance of “Triple E's” (Evidence, Ethics and Empathy based medicine / psychiatry).

Jinsuke Kageyama summarized his main works on violent and juvenile crime in Japan as follows:

Era of “Egopathy” (Pathology of Self) and “Modern Type Crime”; “Empty Self” and Crime of “Self-Affirmation (Self-Validation)”
 * 1) Violent Crimes in Japan; decrease and qualitative changes
 * 2) The homicide rate and the rates for violent crimes of various kinds have declined (Kageyama J, 1987). The remarked decreasing homicide rate in modern Japan could be caused mainly by the warless period of Japan without conscription for more than 60 years (Kageyama J, 2000).
 * 3) Crime of “Self-Affirmation (Self-Validation)” Type (qualitative changes)
 * 4) Taking into account the various trends and characteristics of recent crimes, the author has come up with his own naming for a model fitting the patterns, namely the “self-affirmation” or “self-validation” model. What the author means by this term is that by committing such actions, the individuals try to affirm or reaffirm their own existence to society or validate their own power. The author believes that such crimes are rooted in these motives whose underlying psychological background is “Egopathy (pathology of the self)” or the “Empty Self”. These kinds of crimes occur in “postindustrial society, or the age of what Toffler refers to as the “third wave”. Or we might also call it the “information society” or “cyber society”.

Kageyama has published many papers and books on criminal psychopathology; political assassination (“Assassinology”), mass murder, alcohol crime, harassment, filicide，mentally disordered offenders etc. As a psychiatric expert, he has conducted more than 900 forensic examinations. His studies include the history of psychiatry and he has published books on the European, French and German history of psychiatry.
