| >The claim was that people don't report crime, and you claim to see people reporting suspicions.
> Even if it weren't just an anecdote, it isn't even addressing the point accurately. I have addressed the suspicion thing in my second reply to derefr.
It is not just suspicion, but also a crime that is reported. > Neither of you have actually provided anything beyond generalizations and anecdotes. Any conclusion based on what's been presented so far is incredibly premature. I understand your point. Since I know quite well of Japanese people, I don't think it is premature. To clearly show evidences that everyone can understand is a different thing and it is also difficult in some context. To deny the claim "So nobody bothers to even report such crimes", I have to find just one case and since I know a case I consider it false. To prove all my claims that I have witnessed, we probably have to go to court and I consider it nonsense since it isn't realistic. To prove a customary of Japanese people, it is very difficult and I currently have no clear evidence that I can show easily, but any Japanese people can oppose to my claims if it seem wrong. To back up my claim using other sources, for example, I can tell you a famous date-drug rape case of Shiori Ito in Japan, which the victim reported to the police, accepted, investigated, but not prosecuted. Here is the wiki written about her in Japanese. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/伊藤詩織 |
