You are absolutely correct about crime in Japan. I lived there for 5 years
and the crime rate is astonishingly low. However, any violent crimes that
do occur (outside of the Yakuza) are supressed by the government. Most of
the violent crime in Japan IS committed by the Yak and when it stays inter
Yak nobody really cares. The murder rate in the entire country of Japan is
purported to be somewhere in the 50s or so a year, but you only learn of
around 2 or 3 murders. But even if the murder rate is say 50, they are
doing something right. It really is amazingly low no matter which rate is
correct.
