Rising crime in Japan boosts security business

Rising crime in Japan boosts security business

His school has recently ordered two sasumata, or 2m-long mediaeval pole arms, and conducts regular sasumata drills. These precautionary measures are typical of schools across Japan.


sasumate- can someone tell me what is that?

But other statistics suggest that violent crime is still rare in Japan.

Waseda University behavioural scientist Mariko Hasegawa said: 'The mass media focus on these terrible crimes committed by a few very weird and mentally damaged individuals.

'But they make out that these are normal people, and that anyone can do such a thing.

'In fact, it is very, very rare.'

So why the fears?...


No fear FG-tachi. But I will still be looking for the pink dinosaur eggs when I am back.

If you visit the museum in the police headquarters, you can see some sasumata...

An increase in crime is entirely suspected, though, as inequality has been rising in Japan.
