[edit] Essay template

The introduction reads like an essay with a presumption that crime should increase with industrialization, and with leftist and rightist interpretations. The Social Factors section is an essay interpreting crime in a Ruth Benedict fashion. The Inhumane Crimes section attributes malaise to brutal crime. These essays should be removed from the encyclopedia article. Fg2 03:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Statistics

Use of the term "Robbery" is misleading if the intention is to provide statistics about theft. And if it does actually mean theft - then I think the statistics have been "cooked". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.27.250.213 (talk) 08:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Did this article plagiarize the above page, or did the above page plagiarize this article? Giving that we're talking about Wikipedia, I'm going to assume the former. --70.131.51.228 (talk) 23:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

What about the growing instances of reported rape in japan. Like this Super Free thing? I hear the new opinion is that Japanese crime is much higher then previously thought.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.241.173 (talk) 23:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
