<Involved in crime> anxiety 70% ... Yomiuri poll
According to the annual continuous survey "Japanese" in the Yomiuri Shimbun, caught up in yourself and your family is some crime, people are feeling the anxiety that might be a victim to fit the "somewhat" and "a great deal" and up to 70 percent, was 13 percentage points from the previous survey in December 1998.
Reflecting this growing anxiety, in order to protect the safety, people who think that it is necessary to the security measures even if it takes a certain amount of money reached 79 percent. Public awareness of "safety is free" seems to have become a thing of the past.
Survey was carried out in the interview method in 15, the 16th on the theme of "security".
To people who are feeling the anxiety that might be a crime victim, where it was heard in several answers the crime to worry about specifically, "fraud and scam" 58 percent, "picking and burglar" 57 percent, "snatching and Sri "45% - there were many.
"Got better" for Japan's security in the past few years, it remains in 12%, including to "if anything", 86% of "worsened" was greatly exceeded. In "bad became" seven surveys since May 95, it has resulted both in excess of 80%.
The person who answered that security has become worse, and get listed the cause as many, "society as a whole of morals is reduced" 67%, "there is a problem in education at school and at home," 47%, " ties have faded "45% of the area - it was a lot of in the order.
That I think it's a problem in the trend of recent crime (multiple answers) is most at 56%, "crime has become impulsive," "is progressing low age of the perpetrator," 55 percent, "heinous turned into is that "54% was followed.
... And take the questionnaire is a selfish, not to any follow-up for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department crime statistics of reality, it is what you say too irresponsible as a news organization.
If you are, for example, even if the "is progressing low age of the perpetrator," "has been atrocious", cognitive number of thugs in the real data we are also steadily decreasing violent crime by the boy.

? As I wrote in the "Introduction" of Korea, speaking of why I have criticized the Japanese media, it is because not play a warranty against defects. In other words, even if reporting the wrong information, news organizations must also be to return the fee, nor does it give a decent correction article.
About in this world, irresponsible industry about commodity about news agency company sells would be no.
If in the general merchandise, obvious defects, that is, if there was a defect, will return the fee to the person who purchased the recall. In Japan, there is a law that the PL method, even if there was no negligence on the company side, companies will be asked strictly the responsibility for defective merchandise.
Even if even if the TV in the newspaper, and that is to exclusively dominate the limited radio and sales network, business model of media is made up. To companies that can monopolize some resources, perhaps wrong those who expect a decent self-cleaning ability.
To activate the self-cleaning ability of the media, the simplest means is to provide a powerful competitive. Of course, the Internet will compete against existing media, there is no doubt have helped their self-cleaning ability activation. But, this alone will feel that not enough.
Again, it feels is appropriate country is tied in some regulations. Media version PL method, ie is the enactment of the "news product liability law". If the consumer were damaged by the irresponsible coverage, regardless of the presence or absence of the negligence of the media side, it is the law of being able to claim compensation if you can prove the defect coverage. By enacting this law, it will be able to strengthen the responsibility for the coverage of the media side.
By the way, for if you write this kind of story, the media will out soon called "freedom of the press!", "Freedom of speech!", As long as correct coverage on the basis of the neat data, not the application of the news product liability law It is. This media against the law, themselves usually, I do not think how much that there is whether awareness has been the appropriate coverage only.
The presence of existing media that impression or mislead do not know, "deer" as coverage approaches, the first place I error. The reason for the eye a haphazard coverage that is not based on data, it is tired. Roughly, I corporate entity that has made profits by exclusive use of limited resources, such as radio waves, is wrong itself be opposite to be subject to regulations of the country.
The enactment of the news product liability law, we hope strongly.
