From the supplier: Japan, contrary to popular perception, does not differ from the rest of the industrialized world in terms of crime rates. The country suffers similar trends characterized by a minimal incidence of bloody crimes such as murder. In terms of homicides, Japan has a much lower rate that its peers but if suicides and fatal accidents in the workplace are counted in, the homicide rate approximates those of the rest of the advanced economies. Japan is, therefore, not to be considered the safest place to be in.
