Crimes involving perversion appear disproportionately common on Japan. Even in the courtroom of a small rural city like Matsumoto, roughly one in 12 of the cases I observed has some element of perversion, including groping, theft of ladies' underwear, child pornography, and child prostitution, not to mention the fecal fascinations of Mr. Horiike.

Police often arrest by appointment; a warrant is issued and the person shows up at the appointed date. It's all very civilized.
