nutsagain.

Enough with your so-called personal experience OK? There nothing more than "rants" unless you can prove your so-called experience over the net. You might as well be another frustrated gaijin English teacher whose existence don't matter to me.

Back it up for a change will ya?

You want to discuss only four crimes. I believe you measure the effectiveness of cops by ALL major crimes

According to the FBI, they are classfied as violent crimes. But sure. I'll play that ALL major crimes which includes larceny/theft which accounts for BULK of the # of crimes and…

diegameL...nice job of cherry picking your stats.

I don't think he did.

U.S. clearance rate as in 2004 for Murder, Aggravated Assault, Forcible Rape, and Robbery were 62.6%, 55.6%, 41.8%, and 26.2% respectively.

In Japan for the same year, the clearance rate were 94.6%, 63.8%, 64.5%, and 50.3% respectively.

Great job again JT!!! Another stupid question follows from the "gaijin" question. And the result is all too familiar "personal" accounts which anybody who resides in Japan is a complete bogus.

So getting back to the question.

I haven't been reading any. Your assertion that a small group of people control written media in Japan is ridiculous given the government gets trashed by various authors, commentators, etc.

Partly true, partly false. Japan has just enough left wing liberal nuts who pressure the government to instill such ludicrous…

Catch 22.

Sure it would of been nice if the Police were allowed to search every tenant's apartment to find at that point, a "missing woman". But then, people here will be crying out about invasion of privacy.

According to the recent Yomiuri article, the police got 170 or so…

most of the japanese who use the term "gaijin" have no clue what the actual meaning is. to them it just means someone other than japanese.
