Yeah.. 'Suicides' here is not the issue... Quote HistoryQuoted:
Yeah.. 'Suicides' here is not the issue... In a bizarre case in 2009, the Sendai Lower Court ordered a ¥50 million payout for an attempted suicide where the insured died from injuries sustained during the act. The result is an incentive for people to kill themselves — and also an incentive to kill people and stage it as a suicide. |

If I worked long hours, every day, and went home to a shoe box in a high rise... I'd off myself too. Or become a murderer for fun, since I'd have nothing to lose. (article topic) Or just take a vacation in Mexico |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
A couple years ago, I remember a story about a japanese soldier accidently dropping a single round of ammunition from a hand gun or rifle out of a helicopter. The Army there spent untold masses of money mobiling infantry to find that bullet. Can someone find this article? I can't seem to find it anymore. |

Should I be sad that career criminals in Japan have a higher sense of civic duty than most active duty servicemembers in the US? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Imagine your clearance rate if solving a case was a matter of you grabbing a random criminal off the street, phone book him into admitting to the Lufthansa Heist, and the judge buys it and the criminals attitude is "I was going to get pinched for something, thems the breaks."

Also if you think discrimination is bad in the US, in Japan it is way worse. After WW2, the US occupied Japan, and there were children born to Asian mothers and black fathers, those folks are socially highly discriminated against.

The Huey banked and an unsecured A2 slid out the door into a national forest. Several unit were mobilized and search for that one single rifle for days. Somewhere out there is a GI issue A2 - probably buried several feel deep & rusted to crap by now. |

It's an article by Jake Adelstein-
 . He seems to actually be improving though, but he is still biased to some extent.
Another article somewhat related The law, which took effect in April 2013, allows institutions to perform autopsies without the consent of the next of kin if the police judge it necessary to investigate the causes of death of people who are not suspected of dying as a result of foul play, which usually gives rise to the need for judicial autopsies. There are three types of autopsies: 1) Judicial autopsy (for criminal investigation purpose by court order) 2) Administrative autopsy (no crimes are involved, but the cause of death is unknown) 3) Pathological autopsy or autopsy by consent (at the request of the family) A sad trend. It definitely provides lots of fodder for detective novelists. |
