Japan is not an asylum country

Maciamo, do you know if this statistics over ten years (91) will have doubled, or increased in the last year? Just curious question from me.

No. Considering the number of crime per capita (so regardless of the total number of foreigners in Japan, as they are increasing year by year), it's pretty stable or even decreasing. Some years have apparently strong increases (like 20%) of the total number of crimes and offences, but it might fall again the next year. Then let me remind that "violent crimes" only account for a tiny fraction of the total - the most common being visa overstaying (but can you call someone a "criminal" because they once overstayed their visa, even for just 1 day ? So what shall we call murderers ? The same ?).
