WORLD NEWS SUPERFAST

JAPAN NEWS - According to information received by the World News Superfast, an 83-year-old woman was caught by the police of Cannon City in Wakayama Province, Japan. It was alleged that they replaced the pre-printed price slip (price label) on a box of eggs purchased from a supermarket. So that they can pay less by will and convenience.

When the police caught them and questioned, they admitted that they had tampered with the price label of the products twice. According to information received by the World News Superfast, the police left them with strict warning. No case was filed against him as the total price of the products he bought was just 500 yen (about 356 rupees) in all three times. The case was not registered, so his name also did not appear.

Before going to the next end of this story, it is important to consider two or three small details. First, the Government of Japan changed one of its laws in 2005. In this, minor offenses were excluded from the serious category. So that unnecessary burden on police and government lawyers can be reduced. The rate of crimes can be reduced. This decrease in figures is also visible.

According to the information received by the World News Superfast, there are many other supermarkets and shops in Japan where there is a cash counter but there is no employee depositing the money. Customers pay themselves by scanning the price labels of the products themselves with a hand scanner placed there. And the third important thing - the elderly population in Japan is increasing rapidly. Now it is around 25 per cent of the total population.

By 2050, it will be around 30 percent, according to government estimates. Now the story ahead. Experts point out that crime (7,48,559) and arrest (1,92,607) figures were at their lowest level since World War II in 2019 after the Japanese government changed the law.

The reason for the crime is as much as mental, financial as well as family

According to information received by the World News Superfast, according to experts, "all the mental, financial and family reasons are due to the elderly turning to crimes." Most of the elders caught in petty crimes have been found alone in their lives.

Suddenly they are going into depression

So many people are committing such crimes just to keep themselves busy and in the eyes of everyone. According to the information received by the World News Superfast, there are many elders who commit petty crimes so that their expenses come out. Whereas, some of them may spend some time in prison.
