Foreign victims
Masaru recently searched the Web for information on "crime and foreigners in Japan" and got a plethora of figures and statistics, many of them from police bodies and the Ministry of Justice, all relating to crimes by foreigners.
However, he says, "I cannot find any information on foreigners as the victims of crime in Japan. Is there anywhere I can get some hard facts and figures on foreigners as victims of crime in Japan?"
Good question. The government bookshop in Tokyo's Otemachi may have something.
