Crime Rates Sure Are Low In Japan. You Know What Else is Low?

[TruthTheOnlyDefense]

"Japan has always been a relatively low-crime country, but lately crime rates have gotten so low that police are getting bored:

This means plenty of attention for crimes that would be considered too petty to investigate elsewhere, such as the theft of a bicycle or the possession of a tiny amount of drugs. One woman describes how five officers crowded into her cramped apartment after she reported her knickers being swiped from a clothesline. A small army of detectives was assigned last year to apprehend a group of 22 people who had been growing marijuana for their personal use only and smoking it in deserted rural spots.

In fact, as the police run out of things to do, they are becoming more inventive about what constitutes a crime, says Kanako Takayama of Kyoto University. In one recent case, she says, they arrested a group of people who had shared the cost of renting a car, deeming the arrangement an illegal taxi. Some prefectures have begun prosecuting people who ride their bicycles through red lights.

Japan was one of the first countries to ban leaded gasoline. The phaseout started in 1972, and by 1980 lead was almost entirely gone. As early as 2000, Japan had an entire cohort of teenagers that had grown up almost entirely lead-free. This only happened in the US a few years ago. Now Japan is moving into their second cohort of lead-free teenagers. Overall, the country has been virtually lead free for nearly four decades, and the lead exposure of today’s Japanese children is “among the lowest in the world.”"

The benefits of having a homogenous society with an average IQ of over 105. There's a very easy way to increase the crime rate but I want say it here as I have just come back from a ban

The benefits of having a patriotic society that works for the betterment of their country instead of parroting nationalist talking points while abusing the system.

 

[Azadkashmir]

you can have mix society but you have to give a lot of attention to educating them to think collectively. Give it some years they be alike.
Europe does not do that, their own intel divides people for self motives. soviet were better at it.

The Japanese aren't patriotic at all. When asked if they will fight for their country, these are the percentages who responded "Yes".

People with racial purity agendas love to use Japan as some sort of utopia because of the lack of diversity. There are many more factors that have to do with Japan's low crime. As the article mentioned, there is no lead in their water. This shows they spend a lot of attention on their infrastructure and overall quality of life. It has nothing to do with them all being homogenous. The government has actually started importing foreign labor like never before.

Crime is so low, Police spend entire nights watching a case of beer left in the back seat of a convertible car.

Is it's really that low? I heard story of innocent looking Japanese nerd man chopping up dozens of woman. That sounds very pervert. Maybe this is only the tip of the ice-berg.

Bangladesh is also homogenous country but is not like Japan but I guess it also helps japan is an island so much less risk of illegal infiltration from traffickers, criminals,weapons terrorists etc and no border conflict only some minor island disputes .

 

[MultaniGuy]

The crime rate is low because the Japanese are well educated.

 

[TruthTheOnlyDefense]

Japanese need excitement in their lives too much tech makes their lives boring.

In modern Japan the educational system doesn't teach patriotism as much, though they are very proud of their culture/race. From a young age they teach their kids to develop a civil conscious starting with really specific things like teamwork, respecting peer/elders, throwing away the trash, doing chores etc. This creates an overall safe/respectful environment thats in a positive feedback loop. A safe environment makes people feel safe, and people will feel guilty when they do bad things.

Although in the 1990's and early 2000s there were quite a few big incidents of maniac killers/terrorists but overall crime is still very low. The underworld is kept in place by the yakuza-government collusion, so mass uncontrolled crime is unlikely.

Japan is not a model for all countries, it requires specific conditions such as culture, geography, and national identity.

In East Asia the national identity of Japan is racial, North Korea is racial, South Korea is nationalism, China is civilisation, effecting how each country is managed. An important part of Japan's national identity is the racial purity of the royal family and of its people, it creates a tight knit common identity in Japan that pressures people to maintain certain standards. Due to Japanese viewing themselves as superior to everyone they pressure themselves to maintain "superior behaviours". Since everyone views themselves as racially Japanese they will conform to Japanese social standards. Sometimes this causes individuals to snap. North Korea also stresses racial purity similar to Japan, especially similar to imperial japan. Its royal family is the Kim dynasty and racial purity is constantly stressed while South Korea is defined by the nation. China on the other hand develops its identity through civilisation/history. Whatever the entity stresses will affect its people's behaviour.

It needs to be homogenous AND have a high average national/racial IQ.
