 JAPANESE POLICE CORRUPTION
In short, in the Japanese police system, (1) the priority in the organization, personnel and financing is given to the security police; and (2) the control by the bureaucrats based on the career system and hierarchy is dominant.
The original mission of the police should be to maintain the safety and order of civil society by working to protect the life and assets of individual citizens and investigating crimes and arresting the suspects.
As long as the public security police, which blatantly infringe the fundamental human rights of the people guaranteed in the Constitution, hold a central position in the entire police system, it is only natural that the sense of protecting the people's human rights as well as the rights of the policemen themselves is grossly lacking.

 JPRI Working Paper No. 76
Police corruption is a double problem: it reinforces a culture of secrecy and deceit that is itself a breeding ground for police abuses ranging from perjury to brutality, and it prevents police from properly enforcing criminal laws against other bureaucratic wrongdoers.
These reports pin police problems on one or a few individuals, thereby denying the need for change in the police's organizational culture and the need for creating external organs that would hold police more accountable for how they spend their huge budget and exercise their formidable powers.
The closure of police and diplomatic budgets to outside scrutiny is a problem to which the answer is known.

 Courts Rule Against Weeklies, Asaki Families in Higashi Murayama Libel Suits
TOKYO: In separate verdicts issued this week, two Japanese courts have found that the parties alleging the lay Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai was in some way responsible for the death of Higashi Murayama City councilwoman Akiyo Asaki in 1995, are guilty of libel.
On May 15, the Tokyo High Court ruled that Daito and Naoko Asaki, the deceased councilwoman’s husband and daughter, had willfully defamed the Soka Gakkai.
In his summation, Tokyo District Court Chief Magistrate Yoichi Kikuchi was openly critical of Shukan Shincho, stating “there was no evidence that [its] article is true” and that it “fostered the impression that the councilwoman’s death was not a suicide but a crime, with the Soka Gakkai illegally involved.”
