How is it possible that Japan has a 99% conviction rate?
In: 3178
Almost every country with high conviction rates are over inflated. These stats are very important to prosecutors. They only go only cases that they are almost guaranteed to win. And most of the time, its through a guilty plea because the defendant knows they lose as-well.
This causes huge problems, because the conviction rates are flooded with insignificant crimes such as simple possession of drugs.
While important and more difficult crimes such as sexual assault get ignored 95% of the time.
Law enforcement don’t give a flying fuck about doing what is socially right. They only care about their stats to look good to their superiors.
