Table 1-4-3-1 shows the number of reported cases, crime rate, and clearance rate of larceny in each of the 5 countries since 1997 (see Appendix 1-14 and 1-15 ).
  The number of reported cases has declined consistently in Germany whereas it has risen in Japan. The number of reported cases in the U.S.A. decreased until 2000 but increased from the previous year in 2001.
  On the other hand, the clearance rate showed a downward trend in France, the U.K., and Japan.
