In Japanese society there are no square pegs, only round pegs and round holes. Deviance from the established societal norm is viewed critically and those people are marginalized. That is one of the reasons for the extremely high suicide rate in their society. Unlike the U.S. and European countries, the Japanese society is pretty much only Japanese and not multicultural. They don't have to contend with cultural differences. I have also read that the Japanese judicial system, in the instances of a murder/suicide, count the victims as suicides. Gives the image of a lower homicide rate.
Do some research on Japanese prisons, they are extremely regimented and by most western standards, practice brutal control methods to maintain order. Accused and convicted and imprisoned criminals do not get to see an attorney when they want. The police/prison officials determine when a prisoner is allowed counsel. There is no Miranda Warning either. Coerced confessions are quite common and rarely challenged.
