Japanese logic ? “Hironori Shigematsu, director-general of the National Police Agency's Criminal Affairs Bureau, gave the following figures: If you divide the 226,038 Japanese people arrested last year by the population as of December 1st of that year, you get 0.188%, and if you divide the 12,173 foreigners arrested for violations of the Immigration Control and Refugee Act (excluding short-term visitors) by the total number of foreign residents in Japan, you get 0.323%, meaning "if Japanese people are 1, foreigners are 1.72." Of course the % of foreigners violating the “immigration control and refugee act” should be higher for that very specific crime. % very low to marginal by the way.
