holy shit, is that you clip-nigger? when did you leave /wsg/? I haven't seen you in forever.
Anyways, Nihongese legal statistics are all bullshit, as you already know. Both the prosecutors and the police are given an absurd amount of leeway in how they handle or prosecute cases, leading to all kinds of abuse. The police don't really give a fuck about most cases and will just give the offender a slap on the wrist or a trivial fine. Their main interest is to just ignore any and all problems and act like everything is perfect in their shitty little prefecture, leading to a lot of crimes to go unreported for the sake of saving face. Likewise, Jap attorneys have a lot of leeway in how they prosecute cases and frequently only bother with the ones they can win easily (which is admittedly is a problem everywhere, but they get a lot more tools to use in the jap system). Long periods of detention for suspects, high-levels of influence with judges compared to defense attorneys, as well as an absurd over-reliance on confessions as evidence gives them a lot of levers to pull when it comes to trials. What's more, they are hilariously understaffed; there's only a few thousand prosecutors in the entire country. This means that, at all times, prosecutors are under heavy pressure to blow through cases, and are given a lot of tools to either get the exact result they want, or toss any case that looks like it might be too hard overboard. Looks like their might be any hint of ambiguity in, say, a child abuse case? Get the police to slap the defendants with a fine, tell the court that they're 100% "rehabilitatederu" and move on to the next. no matter how you slice, japanese crime statistics are simply not reliable evidence on whether jorkin' it to cartoons keeps people from being predators or not.
