Just another juvenile delinquent, which has been on the rise steadily for some years now.
Really? Where did you get your data?
My understanding, based on official white papers, is that the crime rate by youths in Japan has been going down rapidly since 2003.
For example, the crime rate by youths (per 100,000 youth population) in 2003 was more than 1,200 cases. Today it is 233 cases. In last twenty years, the crime rate by youths plunged to one-fifth.
