I didn't think Japan was an anti-crime mecca but it is surprising to read about high robbery rates there. Well I guess a dozen robberies among a million people is a fraction of anywhere in the USA. I am more curious WHY people are robbing convenience stores in Japan than the ways it is being combated because it means there are turning elsewhere to solve whatever money problem they seem to have.
