My tax dollars at work. I'm so happy. :rolleyes:

(It's even worse that the article implies, as I think I made clear in the recent thread regarding the Japanese pretrial detention system.)

Advertising? Are you not using adblock?

Well, this is unlikely to happen in Osaka.

great link.

:confused:
There're no adverts there except the Mitsubishi banner at the top...
Did you mean the cover of the magzine the article came from?

Give me the LAPD any day. I'd rather have racist, over-brutal cops than corrupt ones.

The former, at the least, is much easier to eliminate over time.

You just need to move to inaka-land where the police are busy everyday chasing lost dogs, stopping by obaachans' houses for tea, and trying to figure out what do to with all the veggies everyone keeps leaving them. ;)

Ah, life in a rual ken.

The LAPD are miserable when it comes to crime fighting or else LA wouldn't be a crime infested plate or malverse concrete, Osaka on the other hand is not notorious for crippling crime rates so the Osaka police are not only better but Osaka is safer to live in.

You live in Osaka? :confused:
Um... SL, did you read the location under his name?

Osaka?

I love their currency valuation. 7.5 million sounds so cool.

The problem with this data is that although they show the arrest rate, they do not show the crime rate.

Arrest rate is useless without knowing how much crime is going on.

Also, the only source they cite is "Flash." It was not advertising on the right, it was the source of the data. Having SEX in huge letters and a woman lying back really damages your credibility as a source. (It's a weekly men's magazine, so there's probably plenty of sex in it.)

So, I urge you all, don't take this article seriously. It leaves out much information (i.e. crime rates and past crime rates, which are very important when compared to arrest rates... and yet are for some reason left out.)

It's Wai Wai, take everything posted there with a large salt mine.

to the right. a magazine with lots of text i assume is japanese, except for the word sex.

I'd rather have the Osaka PD after me.

Beverly Hills Cop
Lethal Weapon.

I know what i'd chose.;)

Yea but Japanese Police in General are pretty...worthless.

I mean, one...the Crime Rate in Japan is amongst the lowest, two...they really have way too many Police Officers per Capita....three, the SDF would do just fine if they were allowed to do more Civil Duties [like a National Guard type of thing, but then I'm not saying they should become a National Police Force]...and well...

Basically, I guess...it doesn't take much for a Japanese Police Force to be considered the worst. There just isn't a lot that has happened there since Shiriko, and thus really a lot of them aren't too experienced when a huge crisis does come along.

Anyways, funny article I think...but I don't believe it'll do much but make some people in Japan and who knows more about Japanese Police go "lol".

I wonder how a "worthless" police district in Japan would compare to an efficient one in the US...

Considering these numbers, I mean - stolen from Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Japan):
Japanese authorities also solve a high percentage of robbery cases (75.9 percent, compared with 43.8 percent for West Germany, 26.5 percent for Britain, and 26.0 percent for the United States) and homicide cases (95.9 percent, compared with 94.4 percent for Germany, 78.0 percent for Britain, and 68.3 percent for the United States).

The advertising and the link to an article about an S&M nut named Sakamoto take the cake.

Considering these numbers, I mean - stolen from Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Japan):
I'd be a wee bit lerry of those numbers given that a lot of Japan's wonderous rate comes from confessions... usually signed after 28 days of being in jail, 10+ hours of questioning per day at anytime day or night, and no access to lawyers.

[like a National Guard type of thing, but then I'm not saying they should become a National Police Force]...and well...
Well, they were. I mean the SDF used to be called a police force.
