How do you know it is safe if you can easily be wrongly convicted, but no statistic about the country shows that?
- teachrdan 7y agoI believe they are referring to Japan's low rate of violent crime: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Japan#Statistics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Japan#Statistics
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 7y agoWhich is exactly the error I have been pointing out? Or are you saying that people being forced into prison for no fault of their own is being counted as violent crime in that statistic?

- stcredzero 7y agoCriminals think seven, no, seventy times before doing anything that could possibly upset japan national on Japanese soil. This is how it is that safe. Or, the criminals are organized and have connections and unspoken agreements with the authorities, existing in a kind of truce. (EDIT: In essence, the seven to seventy times thinking over has been enshrined and institutionalized.)

- pwim 7y agoWith Japan's incarceration rate of 41 per 100,000 people, one of the lowest in the world, your chance of being falsely convicted is exceedingly low (as only a very small percentage of the population is convicted of crimes, wrongly or otherwise).
