Police respected in Japan,
U.S. offended by authority
United Press International
NEW YORK — There are pro
portionately 10 times the number of
murders in the United States as
there are in Japan, 13 times the
number of rapes, 208 times the rob
beries. Why?
David H. Bayley, a University of
Denver professor who is a staff con
sultant to the National Commission
on the Prevention of Violence, was
one of several experts who sought to
answer the question at a recent
meeting of Japanese and U.S. police
officials.
While Americans tend to become
offended when confronted by au
thority, the Japanese are more
likely, as the adage goes, to “bend
like a willow.” Or, as Bayley put it.
“In Japan, the criminal justice sys
tem is efficient because the people
obey and respect law and author
ity.”
Bayley cited key statistics. Last
year, the FBI reported the violent
crime rate in the United States was
466.6 per 100,000 inhabitants, up
from 160.9 in 1960. In Japan, it was
65.7, down from 188.8 in 1960, ac
cording to Japan s National Police
Agency.
“The most remarkable aspect is
the close relationship between the
Japanese police and the general
citizenry,” said Patrick V. Murphy,
president of the Police Foundation,
a nonprofit body with headquarters
in Washington.
“The Japanese seem to respect

the police, to call on them fre
quently for assistance, and to aid
them in preventing crime and inves
tigating the incidents which do oc
cur. ”
By contrast, Americans are gen
erally unwilling to cooperate with
the police, Murphy said. He cited
three studies which, he said, dem
onstrate there must be better
police-citizen cooperation in the
U.S. if the police are to accomplish
their mission.
— A National Victimization Sur
vey showed three out of four U.S.
crimes are not even reported to the
police.
— A response time study in Kan
sas City concluded that, no matter
how fast police respond to a crime
report, delays in calling them gen
erally make immediate apprehen
sion of a suspect impossible.
— A Rand Corp. study of the in
vestigative process found that when
cases are solved, it is most often be
cause a citizen tells the police who
did it.
Murphy had some ideas on how
U.S. police might make use of
Japanese police methods.
Japanese police, he said, are de
ployed to fixed, small geographic
areas. They have a small “patch” to
be responsible for and a specific
group of people to serve.
“Though each American officer
has ten times more area to cover
than a Japanese counterpart,” he
said, “there is no reason why fixed
posts, manned by officers on foot,
cannot serve densely populated
urban areas with high levels of
crime. ” Japanese police officers are
required to survey their community
periodically, contacting each home,
noting who lives there, learning
neighborhood problems, and giving
advice on self-protection measures.
“An early (police) foundation ex
periment in San Diego,” Murphy
noted, “found that training patrol of
ficers to prepare written reports de
scribing their beats, the people who
live there, the problems they face
and the steps which they plan to
take as police officers to address
those problems, gave them a greater
awareness of their beats and a
greater appreciation of the impor
tance of community interaction.”
Japanese police use neighborhood
groups and citizen organizations as
major forces in crime prevention.
Half a million homes in Tokyo serve
as distribution centers for crime
prevention literature.
Talking
pet macaw
abducted
United Press International
CAMPBELL, Calif. — If a scarlet
macaw wobbles up to you and sh
outs “Hello! I’m a red chicken!” con
tact the authorities.
And if you’re not sure, offer the
bird a cracker. If the lines are re
peated, call Brenda Albrecht, who
raised Casey from a baby.
The exotic-looking bird was miss
ing Tuesday from its usual perch at
the Dolphin Pet Store owned by Al
brecht. She said she noticed some
thing was wrong when Casey wob
bled and fell off a perch a few times
early in the day.
“I believe someone came in and
tranquilized her early in the day,”
Albrecht said. “That way the bird
could be taken later without causing
a disturbance. '
The Macaw also says, “Hi!
Marge,” the name of its former
perch mate.
Her head, breast and back are
brilliant red, her wings are blue and
yellow, her cheeks are white, and
her black-tipped beak is ivory col
ored.
Definitely not a red chicken.
Albrecht says Casey wasn’t for
sale but was valued at about $2,000.
She says Casey doesn’t fancy being
handled, either by friends or stran
gers.
“She was an exceptional bird and
my personal pet,” said Albrecht,
whose main worry is that the macaw
doesn’t end up in somebody’s pie.
