"Magazine IDs student suspect in Nagoya slaying, breaking legal taboo
by Shusuke Murai

A news magazine has defied a ban on identifying minors in criminal cases by naming a 19-year-old student who allegedly bludgeoned an elderly woman to death.

Tokyo-based weekly Shukan Shincho on Thursday ran an in-depth article about the Nagoya University student, urging a national debate on the reporting of juvenile crime.

Headlined “Evil nurtured within the heart of the Nagoya University female student; the resume of a 19-year-old killer of an elderly woman,” the four-page article named the suspect, printed two photographs of her and quoted people who had known her in childhood."

all I see is the normal Japanese turtle head fear.


"I know I can't ever make it in this new (slowly) globalising Japan so I am going to try to make the rest of the world hate us so I never need to deal with foreigners that won't treat me like a toddler for the rest of my life!"

A misplaced panic about juvenile crime

PRISONS in Japan are filling up with an unexpected group: the elderly. For the first time, more crimes are being committed by people over 65 than by those aged between 14 and 19 [...]

Meanwhile, the number of crimes committed by the young has been falling since 2003 [...]

Even so, a few grisly murders by minors have convinced many Japanese, whipped up by the media, that the country is suffering an unprecedented epidemic of youth violence and delinquency. One recent case was that of three boys, aged 17-18, who were indicted in February in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 13-year-old in Kawasaki, near Tokyo. Two more instances of violence by schoolchildren in April and June, resulting in the deaths of young victims, have spread more unease.

Hovering over the recent cases is the revived story of a serial killer from Kobe who, as a 14-year-old in 1997, killed two younger children, decapitating one of them. In June the killer published a detailed memoir. It has become a bestseller, outraging and mesmerising Japanese readers in equal measure.

The LDP’s chief aim is to lower the age at which the Juvenile Act applies, from 20 to 18—in line with a recent lowering of the voting age. But that, says Minoru Yokoyama, an expert on Japan’s penal system, could mean that two-fifths of young inmates now being rehabilitated in juvenile training schools would be lost to the prison system. A greater stigma would then attach to young offenders. Meanwhile the much-praised quality of the training schools would suffer, as many of the volunteers who now work with children would leave. Currently, a lower proportion of minors than adults reoffends in Japan.

For all the brouhaha about juvenile crime, one factor underlying it is neglected: a pervasive culture of school bullying in a group-oriented education system. The number of bullying cases continues to rise, and is in any case understated by teachers. (Bullying also contributes to a high rate of suicide among the young.) Ryota Uemura, the 13-year-old who was stabbed, had stopped going to school and was known by the police to have suffered assaults at the hands of his eventual killer. There was a clear failure to protect him.
