12 teens arrested for attacks on 19 older men
Twelve youths aged from 14 to 18 have been arrested on suspicion of repeatedly attacking and robbing older businessmen, police said Tuesday.
The teens would break into small groups of three or four to each get more money, and followed drunken businessmen before attacking them in deserted places, they said.
The suspects, including two junior high school and five high school students from Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture, are part of an estimated 20-member juvenile delinquent group that hangs out at Tokorozawa Station on Seibu lines, the police said.
They said the teens have attacked 19 businessmen, robbing them of a total of about 140,000 yen in cash as well as about 360,000 yen worth of items such as commuter passes and bags.
Investigations showed that from June 22 to late November last year, the youths are believed to have been involved in seven thefts resulting in injury, six thefts, five extortions and one case of assault causing injury.
One victim is a 51-year-old man who was injured when the teens ganged up on him. A 60-year-old man on his way home in the same area was robbed of cash of 71,000 yen, the police said.

. . .while you can get so many for free already??
Something is seriously going wrong in Japan and I think the worst part is that they are losing their good family structure culture
I think it was far worse before .
the parents did not take care of child like as you said
however, there was few...
I mean it has nothing to do with that.
the problem is lack of imagination for them before doing
child is getting to break easly
they can not imagine its result.
Thanks for the link though.
But yeah, it happens all over. Doesn't make it alright, but I don't think it's a strange case.
lol, did you see the starting date of this thread?:blush::wave:
Right, but the Akiba boy is easier target for cops than yakuza with 50,000 hand guns. (I don't think all yakuza own guns, though)
If you play golf or baseball, just leave your golf clubs or baseball bats at home after playing it. If you're are unlucky, cops may be glad to find the great arms in your car.
When I read the article I copied and emailed it to her.
That should fix her wagon. :cool:
Bah, she has this "Britain might be dangerous" lecture everytime something in Britain somehow ends up in Japanese news.
For those of us who are older than 30, I dare say we can remember our teenage years fairly well and I think most of us would have been in some gang or another.
As to what to do with teenage criminals, most governments all around the world have different views on how to deal with them, ranging from incarceration in juvenile prisons to fines and community service orders.
There is no easy answer.
Thanks for the link though.
nothing new!! This story is from 2002, sure ain't new!!

秋葉原を管内に抱える万世橋署では、０２年には、銃 刀法違反容疑での事件送致の件数は１年間で３件しかな かった。それが０３年には７件、０４年には３５件に増 え、０５年には８４件と３年間で２８倍になった。
万世橋署が銃刀法違反の現行犯で摘発された人に対し、 刃物を携帯していた動機を尋ねたところ、多くが「脅さ れたり、殴られたりしたときの護身用」と答えたという 。
しかし、護身用というのは銃刀法の「正当な理由」に は当たらず、逮捕または書類送検される可柏ｫがある
Anti-otaku hunting measure? Sharp increase of violating "the Swords and Firearms Control Law" in Akiba
According to the local Manseibashi police station, they arrested 28 times more offenders than 3 years ago.
Many claimed they carried knives for their self defense purpose (against otaku-hunting). However, carrying knives for self-defense does not mean a good reason here, therefore it is highly likely you will be arrested.
7 were arrested to violate the law in Akihabara in 2003

We're living in the end of the world now, so be careful when you travel around Tokyo.
u cant throw ppl about 14-18 yo to rob or attack ppl man.
U can throw them in that place they are reformed as normal people. With 14 years u are reckless, u are worried about what could happen if u go jail or something like that, but thats not enough. they will do it cause its "fun" for them. I think the actual problem is the type of education that the parents give to his sons and daughters.
Kanpai to that! :beer:
At least there are no drive-by shootings by street gangs in Japan.
Times are a changing!

Contrary to this, I have read way too many times recently that juvenile crime is on the fall. Probably this is just specifically to Akihabara as the 'cool' kids come on strong onto Akihabara's geeks.

Hahaha lmao. For real.
This would barely make the column in my city's local newspaper. Typical things I read on the newspaper everyday: Drunken brawl at a club over money; Drunken husband stabs neighbor to death over $30 USD debt (no joke); Three people killed on drug cartel shooting; Parents starve kid to death as a punishment.
See, this is pretty universal, just that I assume this is very sensational for the Japanese public in general. People in Mexico love to read this, but we just get so tired of the same things over and over again, we just want a break from bad news.

Not sure who you can blame, but Dad needs to bring home the bacon, Mum possibly now needs to work, so who's looking after the kids.

It's a flippant attitude, I know. But you've got to figure that anyone planning on getting drunk knows better than to get mugged. Bring friends, walk home in crowded and well lit roads, etc. Same precautions everyone else takes.

As described on another thread. . .and now they need attention and outlet. . .without knowing about empathy.

Maybe so, but it wouldn't be the first time a countries family values were crippled in modern times. I think the adaption of western society has been a long, never ending road for Japan that is causing alot of havok, whether or not this is what is causing its downfall in terms of family structure is debatable, but I'm not sure what else could cause the unbalance. Sorry my knowledge is pretty low in this subject... :(
If there aren't any real facts, or news articles about this matter in the upcoming 3 posts I am going to close this thread. :(
