There are a couple takes on this I have read (Note; Going to japan to visit the peace museum is still on my bucket list.) https://japantoday.com/category/crime/japan-guilty-until-proven-innocent-documentary-shines-light-on-controversial-legal-system https://japantoday.com/category/crime/japan-guilty-until-pro... https://www.vox.com/world/2015/12/13/9989250/japan-crime-conviction-rate https://www.vox.com/world/2015/12/13/9989250/japan-crime-con... There was a video documentary I watched some time ago and hopefully someone can find the name because I cannot. It basically went on to describe that in japan they would only file murder charges on suspects when they knew they could get a conviction. Otherwise the police would just file the death as an accident or something. The other thing it went into is how the yakuza would basically act as a un-official police force. Basically the proper police would let them exist as long as they kept the criminal element inline. It was a cool documentary, really hope one of you gets a neuron spark and can tell me the name. My take as someone who wants to visit: Seems like most legal issues you read about -with people visiting japan- is they do stupid things drunk or they get into fights. It's a nation where five year old kiddos ride public transportation alone. I think they just have zero tolerance for stupid anti-social behavior.
