How Japan's Murder Rate Got To Be So Incredibly Low

Japan's homicide rate has been steadily decreasing since the 1950s, and now the country has one of the lowest homicide rates in the world, according to a new United Nations report.

Fewer than one person is murdered for every 100,000 in the population, compared to 4.8 for the United States and 44.7 in Belize.

So how did Japan get its own murder rate to be so low?

From the report:

The country's homicide rate is associated with a stable and prosperous society with low inequality and high levels of development. Young Japanese males now commit only a tenth of the homicides committed by their predecessors in 1955, and the age and sex distribution of victims tend to be uniform across age groups.

This has been attributed by some researchers to, amongst other factors, extremely low levels of gun ownership (1 in 175 households), a greater chance of detection (according to police data, 98 per cent of homicide cases are solved), the rejection of violence after the Second World War, the growth of affluence without the accompanying concentrations of poverty common in many highly developed countries, and the stigma of arrest for any crime in Japanese society.

Unlike the U.S., Japan has strict gun laws. Most guns are illegal, and there are tight restrictions on purchasing the few firearms that are allowed in the country, according to The Atlantic. Japan also has a rigorous testing and background-check process for those who seek to purchase a gun.

To put it all into perspective, the U.S. saw more than 12,000 firearm-related homicides in 2008, while Japan had only 11.

Should look up on how much ppl they execute for the year,prob if trinidad did that,we wouldent have a crime situation like we do........but say what.....jump n wave n wine....that's what is most important to us........

Did you even read the article you posted? Why not let Trinidad "try" they things that the researchers found relevant to reducing crime rate. Hanging gets rid of past perpetrators it has not been proven to prevent future ones.

TL:DR - The following things help reduce crime rate
More affluence within population (less crimes committed out of need)
Less inequality (less crimes committed out of envy or feeling of entitlement)
Less guns (less gun related crimes)
High crime solve rate - 98% (Less crimes committed cuz you know you 98% likely to get caught

Ask yourself, how many murderers does the average murderer commit? If hanging a person prevents that person from committing future crimes (fyi there are also other ways to do this), what impact will hanging people really have

By comparison
Trinidad is in a recession that is set to get worse due to the falling oil prices
Inequality everywhere due to corruption (Becoming a politician is like winning the lotto)
Guns not hard to get for the ones that really want to use it
Crime solve rate??? Lol

So tell me, how will bringing back hanging stop someone from committing a murder if he is poor, envious, has access to a gun and knows he is most likely not going to get caught.

Wel d 1s who get caught,make an example of them n I'm sure d rest of them wil think twice......until then they know there is no consequence for their action so they do as they want

you can make all the example in the world if you can't consistently catch and prosecute then it makes no difference

Japan's economy has been poor for some time, but then due to their values going back centuries they're not lawless like trinis. Japanese like Chinese are disciplined...yuh expect Trinis to follow suit? lolol..

[EmilioA]

wasshe kidnapped?
was she out late and in wrong place and wrong time?
was she tracked?
hmmm....the bandleaders got have tings to explain, not jus tto the TTPS, but the Japanese govt. and the deceased family.

She was not in a hotel. She and the other Japenese were staying in an Apt on Picton Street near the Savannah. Its close to where her body was found.

Her fellow Japanese lost track of her Tuesday afternoon on Tragerete Road. However she was seen at Silver Stars Panyard on Tuesday evening. The panyard is on Woodford Street which is one street from Picton.

what i meant was Japan has a differnent culture, where discipline and respect for the law are norms.

For us to get the same, we have to change. People ent prepared for that, but nothing ventured nothing gained. i suspect this is why PNM/UNC ent done nothing bout crime, cos dey does have ting easy and ent want get ketch and not forsake eat ah food cultures.

[SUNNYB310GUY]

Smh...Trinidad really get savage yes....its a real shame. De poor girl just dey to enjoy we culture and somebody just had to kill her. Really really sad!! Actually getting teary eyed typing this here...RIP Asami!!

Reminds me of Dana Seetahal actually. A true patriot who tried to develop the country and in the end just murdered and forgotten about. Motive still unclear. That is why it is best to buss out and find a better life from young when you could because one day it could be you.

I have family in Trinidad from the UK currently leaving tomorrow and they are feeling uncomfortable. Things trinis just accepted and grown accustomed is quite eye opening to a resident of a developed country.

In my opinion Carnival is one of our few redeeming qualities. Why ban something that provides much enjoyment, creates tones of jobs and celebrates our sexy women.

Stop being prudes and develop carnival further. There is much potential in it, the biggest keep back is incompetent trinis.

[pugboy]

there is a lot correct about this statement,
right now carnival is pure private profiteering
all the stands and facilities the govt put up were barely used apart from the toilets.

The only govt event that gets a crowd is pan and 99% of the people not going for pan anyways.
