Japan's propaganda.

The stories became legendary among foreigners living in Japan: the handbag left in a taxi, returned the next day; big- city streets so safe that women walk home alone at night; the gangster who commits a crime and then turns himself in to police.
Such tales are less common today, a casualty of rising crime rates and a nation under stress. But if no longer the safe haven it once was, Japan remains one of the industrial world's least violent societies. With a population less than half that of the United States, Japan has consistently logged fewer than one-tenth the number of homicides. Americans are 15 times as likely to be assaulted, and 19 times as likely to be raped.usnews

Japan can not be that good!" said a man from a country near Japan.
