Vol.99 Who is the real criminal?

Last Sunday a man who is 25 years old stabbed several pedestrians at random after he hit pedestrians.
The murderous rampage has shocked not only Japan and the world.
As I posted the other day I was the place where the case happened.
If I had been there on Sunday I could be here...



I have a view about the case.
I think the man who committed the crime is relatively an ordinary person, compared with the defendant who killed and wounded children at elementary school in Osaka.
In case of Osaka, he seemed to have acted so weired.
But in case of Akihabara, I think the people like him exist everywhere in Japan.
I do not think the cause of the case is not attributed to his personality,
but to our social background.
Particularly, the cause of the problem is extreme competitive society.


These days, most of the criminals who committed heinous crimes seem to be dispatched employee, casual employee, or unemployed.
Above all, the number of the irregular employment is rapidly increasing.
Some are employed at a high salary, but enormous proportion of them work at low pay.
After the bubble burst,Japanese economy recovered Thanks to growth of dispatched service.
Now one in three of Japanese workers are employed as irregular employment.
I can say that the current Japan is supported by these dispatched workers.
But the their working condition is so awful.
Maybe it is better for some of them to be getting public assistance instead of working in such a adverse condition.
They just put up with these kinds of bad treatments desperately.
In my opinion, the real criminal of the case is excess competitive society and widespread service.



Of course, I never support the crime killing good citizen.
But I am afraid that murderous rampage like this case is going to increase more and more unless the cause of this social background is known.

先週秋葉原に行ったばかりのことだったので驚きました。
この事件の問題点は犯人がどこにでもいそうな比較的普通の人による犯罪だったことだと思います。
最近、派遣、フリーター、無職者による犯罪が目立ちますね。
地位、名誉、財産のある人たちはきっとこういった犯罪は起こさないでしょう。
しかし、実質上、日本を陰で支えている彼らは夢も希望も持つこともできません。
貯蓄もできず、家庭をもつことも難しいでしょう。
平凡な生活を築くことすらできないのです。
現在の行き過ぎた競争社会や派遣業界の横行が今回の事件を生み出した犯人といえるのではないでしょうか。
