Section 2  Homicide

  Table 1-4-2-1 shows the number of reported cases, crime rate, and clearance rate for homicide in each country over the five years from 2003 to 2007 (See Appendices 1-8 and 1-9).
  The number of reported cases and the crime rate have both remained almost steady in each country. The clearance rate remained around 95% in Japan and Germany.
  Although not a completely accurate comparison, as far as a statistical data comparison is concerned, the crime rate for homicide was lower in Japan than in the abovementioned four countries in the years concerned.
