‘Indiscriminate crime’ is counted as a daily occurrence across the country.
That’s about 5 crimes every day that were committed out of hostility towards society or out of resentment against others.
In this situation, experts say that we should pay attention to the indiscriminate killing crimes experienced by Japanese society in the past.
Fifteen years ago, in broad daylight in Tokyo, Japan, a man drove a truck and hit a man on the road.
After getting out of the car, he stabbed people around him with a weapon.
Seven people were killed and 10 injured.

Criminal Tomohiro Kato, who was caught red-handed, said, “I was tired. I hated the world. I wanted to kill anyone.”
Tomohiro, then 25 years old, vented his frustration on the Internet before the crime.
‘I have no friends and never will.
I will be ignored because I am ugly’.
According to a survey that analyzed 52 indiscriminate crimes that occurred in Japan over 10 years,
Nearly half of the perpetrators answered that the motive for the crime was ‘dissatisfaction with their environment’.
Most of them were men in their 20s and 30s with low education, but about 80% of them were unemployed or unemployed, and did not have a specific job.
It was also revealed that there were no close ties, such as family or friends.
More than half of them had no friends or had poor friendships.
Analysts say that the anger of young people who became impoverished and socially isolated due to the prolonged economic recession after Japan’s bubble economy was expressed as an extreme crime.
What solution did the Japanese government come up with?
It emphasized social ties and presented comprehensive pan-governmental measures.

After a series of riots with deadly weapons, the government and political circles are coming up with measures to strengthen punishment, but experts agree that punishment is not the only answer.
It seems that we need to think about a device that will somehow leave those isolated in society as a mid- to long-term welfare measure.
