Do these stats cover the Yakuza?
- iliketosleep 9y agoThat's exactly what I was wondering. As far as I know, many streets in Japan are still ruled by the Yakuza.
- donatj 9y agoThey’re supposedly having a heck of a time recruiting the younger generation. There was a pretty good documentary about it on Netflix
- gozur88 9y ago... who keep a lid on the street crime. Your calculations shift when you believe mugging someone might get you thrown off a tall building even if the police don't catch you.
- adventured 9y agoThe Yakuza isn't counted, most of what they do is corruption, blackmail and unofficial / off the books crime. There are a bunch of gangs actively working to take their place as well, none of it is being officially counted: "The Upstart Gangs Filling the Yakuza Power Vacuum" https://www.nippon.com/en/features/c04205/ https://www.nippon.com/en/features/c04205/
