Abstract

Editor's note: The foreign worker problem is exploding in Japan. The Ministry of Justice reports the number of illegal aliens in Japan to have been 28,000 at the end of 1986, 100,000 at the end of 1989, and 278,872 as of May 1992. The number has been increasing at the monthly rate of 10,000 for the past year. Correspondingly, the number of crimes has also sharply risen. In the first half of 1992, there were 3,409 arrests and 1,989 crimes involving foreigners. It is suspected that international crime syndicates are in operation behind narcotics smuggling and prostitution.
