>Japan also enjoys famously low crime rates by almost every metric.

Japan is also a highly conformist and homogenous society with very little ilegal immigration.




What does some people not filling out paperwork before moving to another country have to do with how the society treats 5-year-olds?


Please stop your strawmen. My arguments were to the comment on why Japan has a very low crime rate, not how and why it treats 5 year olds.


No. You were clearly insinuating that illegal immigrants are likely to commit crimes.


Maybe you didn't read the part about a conformist society and yet focused on the illegal immigration part due to your subjective inner bias because you haven't called anyone a racist online in the last 5 minutes.

I never said foreigners commit crimes, as if locals do not, but being very selective with your immigration does help keeping crime lower in every country that does so.

As a country you already have the crime rates of the locals, so you want to not import crime rates as well, therefore you want your immigration being a net positive across the board so you'll have to be very strict.

Why are people offended by an obvious fact?


By definition, they already have.


Well, they aren’t?
