people who don't share our values (foreigners) and people who don't want to share them anymore (the youth), sounds like typical "i am looking for a scapegoat" kind of approach.
besides, the figures for foreigners related crimes do _not_ show anything the police says it does.
for ex, the number of cases involving foreigners is about 1% the total nb of criminal offenses, even a sharp rise there would hardly affect the total number. besides the "crime rate" needs to be computed on a stable population, but the police fails to produce valid methods including the seasonal variations in migrant numbers etc. their figures are vague at best and do not reflect anything but a political will (cf ishihara -tokyo mayor- opinions on chinese people) to create an anti-minority atmosphere benefiting the conservative right.

ps: people who want figures (the official ones published by the related ministries) please send me a mail offlist.
