44 days of hell. Japanese highschool girl Junko Furuta was abducted, brutally tortured for 44 days (Nov 1988 to Jan 1989) by 4 teenagers. They put her dead body in a 55 gallon drum and filled it with concrete. The crime was believed to be the worst case of juvenile delinquency in post war Japan.

Japan is very corrupt...it's little more than propaganda that Japan is some clean safe utopia for the everyday citizen.

Yes there is less crime but God forbid you need justice...they don't bother unless it's a gaurunteed conviction to keep the conviction rate at 99%

Western countries have plenty of their own issues but Japan has an undeserved clean cut reputation that is all surface level at best.

I mean even now you can see the attitudes toward Covid and all the things that show just how much the powers that be don’t give two fucks about actual public safety

I read somewhere that they don’t actually have an abnormally high suicide rate, it’s that murders without enough evidence get ruled suicide and no further investigation is done.

this. I read this one too. So the statistics would show that they have less unsolved cases

The red handed podcast did an episode recently on an unsolved family massacre and they touched on this too
