Japanese home has become a dangerous place these days. More violence is done in it than in the outside.

I cannot tell if this happens all the time and only certain stories are reported, or if murder is all of a sudden on the rise in Nihon. I don't really want to admit it, but it might be former. Just an opinion though.
