>The claim was that people don't report crime, and you claim to see people reporting suspicions. > Even if it weren't just an anecdote, it isn't even addressing the point accurately.

I have addressed the suspicion thing in my second reply to derefr. It is not just suspicion, but also a crime that is reported.

> Neither of you have actually provided anything beyond generalizations and anecdotes. Any conclusion based on what's been presented so far is incredibly premature.

I understand your point. Since I know quite well of Japanese people, I don't think it is premature. To clearly show evidences that everyone can understand is a different thing and it is also difficult in some context.

To deny the claim "So nobody bothers to even report such crimes", I have to find just one case and since I know a case I consider it false.

To prove all my claims that I have witnessed, we probably have to go to court and I consider it nonsense since it isn't realistic.

To prove a customary of Japanese people, it is very difficult and I currently have no clear evidence that I can show easily, but any Japanese people can oppose to my claims if it seem wrong.

To back up my claim using other sources, for example, I can tell you a famous date-drug rape case of Shiori Ito in Japan, which the victim reported to the police, accepted, investigated, but not prosecuted.

Here is the wiki written about her in Japanese. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/伊藤詩織

Haven't watched it but there's a lot of buzz around the Ito Shiori BBC documentary, entitled Japan's Secret Shame: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b8cfcj

UK and US media have an obsession with the flaws of Japan, and also like to overlook the monumental difference in crime rates by chalking it up to fabrication.
