FALSE Foreigners make up 1% of total population Foreigners make up 1.7% of those arrested for criminal offenses Following questioning in the Diet, this passage was deleted from the white paper.

“The Underground Files of Gaijin Crime”

讀賣新聞１９９９年１０月１７日 「本当にこの国は安全なのか。最近、 女性は東京では、夜、外を歩けなく なっているのではないか。言いにくい ことだが、外国人が随分日本に入って きている。こういう人達が日本に入っ て、不法に生活していることは子供や 女性にとっては、恐ろしいなあと思う 面もある。」 （ 自民党の森幹事長、 佐賀市での自民党佐賀 県政経セミナーの講義で） （外国人）犯罪不安社会？ (the collapse of the ‘safe’ society?)

YS, APRIL 2005

2003 Visit Japan campaign aimed to double the number of tourists to 10 million by 2010 (new goal: 18 million by 2016) BUT, almost 1 in 3 Japanese oppose increase in foreign tourists…(2003 survey) WHY? 90.2% cited a rise in foreign crimes!

Foreigners will Riot, Says Tokyo Leader (April 2000) “A large number of “sangokujin*” and other foreigners, repeatedly commit heinous crimes; if an earthquake occurs, they are bound to riot” 「不法入国した多くの三国人、外国人の凶悪な犯罪 が繰り返されており、震災が起きたら騒擾事件が予 想される」 During a ceremony at the Ground Self-Defense Force's garrison in Nerima Ward, Tokyo, Ishihara said, * Sangokujin: lit. "people from third countries," used after WWII to refer to citizens from the former Japanese colonies of Korea and Taiwan. Although the word is rarely used now, it still carries derogatory connotations.

Explanation, no apology… "I won't apologize, I'll explain. When I said 'sangokujin,' I wasn't talking about Korean or Taiwanese nationals. I was referring to foreigners who are here illegally and whose crimes are becoming rampant.” “In Tokyo, illegal aliens commit atrocious crimes that do not occur in the rest of the country. Pakistanis pushing Chinese- made drugs make parts of Tokyo ‘lawless’ at night.” "(The drug) problem is rampant because of those foreigners – the true sangokujin. Try walking in (Tokyo's) Kabukicho at certain hours of the night – you'd never believe you were in Japan. Even yakuza are afraid to go there after midnight. And women can't go there on their own." "I'm talking about a more large-scale riot, like the (1992) riots that occurred in Los Angeles."

１９２３ Great Kanto Earthquake ( 関東大震災 ) Rumours that Koreans were taking advantage of the disaster, committing arson and robbery, and poisoning the wells –As a result as many as 6,000 Korean, Chinese, and other residents were massacred In the aftermath of the 1995 Kobe quake, non- Japanese and Japanese worked together and helped each other

2012 Survey Report on Public Security ( 治安に関する世論調査 ) 84.3% %

治安が悪くなったと思う原因 (The reason why I think it’s got worse)

Aug Editorial in the Yomiuri “ The 2010 White Paper says that the “seriousness” of foreign crime is “increasing”. However, it is possible to look at it the opposite way. In fact, since arrests peaked in 2005 at 47,865, they have fallen for four straight years and last year stood at 27,836.”
