Categories The National Police Agency divides crime into six main categories:[citation

needed] Felonies—the most serious and carrying the stiffest penalties—includes

murder and conspiracy to murder, robbery, rape, and arson. Violent offenses consist of unlawful assembly while possessing a dangerous

weapon, simple and aggravated assault, extortion, and intimidation. Larceny encompasses burglary, vehicle theft, and shoplifting. Crimes classified as intellectual include fraud, embezzlement, counterfeiting,

forgery, bribery, and breach of position of trust. Moral offenses include gambling, indecent exposure, and the distribution of

obscene literature. Miscellaneous offenses frequently involve the obstruction of official duties,

negligence with fire, unauthorized entry, negligent homicide or injury (often in traffic accidents), possession of stolen property, and destruction of property. Special laws define other criminal offenses, among them prostitution, illegal possession of swords and firearms, customs violations, and possession of controlled substances, including narcotics and marijuana.

Biggest Crime Bicycle Crime Japan's biggest crime problem is bicycle theft.

There are 6.6 bicycle thefts per 100,000 people. Japan has the 2nd highest bicycle theft rate in

the G20 (rich countries). The worst country is Holland .

Amazingly, Japanese police recover more than 50% of stolen bicycles.

to put innocent people in jail and laugh about it, but “my motive is my motive is solely to entrap the police and prosecutors and expose their shameful solely to entrap the police and prosecutors and expose their shameful status to the world.status to the world.” He insisted that he always intended to confess to the crimes, in due time, and save the people who were wrongly arrested. He said that he chose Ochiai because he had happened to see the lawyer on television and “you look like you understand these things.”

What made the slow investigation even more embarrassing for Japan’s finest was that in two cases innocent people were coerced into making false confessions. One was a 19-year-old student at Meiji University and the other a 28-year old man in Fukuoka Prefecture.

I Will Commit a Massacre The reasons for their false confessions are still not entirely clear.

In Japan, where there is a 99 percent conviction rate for criminal cases that are indicted, suspects are not allowed to have their lawyer present during questioning. In addition, due to an often exploited loop hole in Japanese law, suspects may be detained up to 23 days before being charged or set free. Bail is rarely granted. Suspects are sometimes promised lighter sentences or bail if they will simply confess.

Japan has a conviction rate of more than 99%. But in recent months there has been a public outcry over a number of wrongful arrests where innocent people confessed to crimes.

notorious for their strict codes of conduct and very organized nature. Yubitsume, or the cutting of one's finger, is a form of penance or

apology Its origin stems from the traditional way of holding a Japanese sword.

The bottom three fingers of each hand are used to grip the sword tightly, with the thumb and index fingers slightly loose. The removal of digits starting with the little finger moving up the hand to the index finger progressively weakens a person's sword grip.

The idea is that a person with a weak sword grip then has to rely more on the group for protection—reducing individual action. In recent years, prosthetic fingertips have been developed to disguise this distinctive appearance

Guns In part by forbidding almost all forms of firearm ownership, Japan has

as few as two gun-related homicides a year. Japanese tourists who fire off a few rounds at the Royal Hawaiian

Shooting Club would be breaking three separate laws back in Japan -- one for holding a handgun, one for possessing unlicensed bullets, and another violation for firing them -- the first of which alone is punishable by one to ten years in jail. Handguns are forbidden absolutely. Small-caliber rifles have been illegal to buy, sell, or transfer since 1971. Anyone who owned a rifle before then is allowed to keep it, but their heirs are required to turn it over to the police once the owner dies.

Now, Japanese police receive more hours of training than their American counterparts, are forbidden from carrying off-duty, and invest hours in studying martial arts in part because they "are expected to use [firearms] in only the rarest of circumstances,"
