Japan Police Helping People Quit Illegal Part-Time Jobs
Newsfrom Japan
Tokyo, Nov. 17 (Jiji Press)–Japanese police are boosting support for people who have applied for “dark” part-time jobs but wish to quit them.
Such illegal jobs have been often linked to robberies that have frequently taken place mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area recently.
Applicants for dark part-time jobs send pictures of their identification documents to recruiters and end up unable to quit for fears of possible retaliatory actions against themselves and their families.
Japanese police took protective steps for 46 such applicants, more than half of them being young people, from Oct. 18 to Nov. 7, according to the National Police Agency.
Protective steps include introducing safe places to live in, beefing up patrols and providing relocation subsidies. The police also have a system to secure the safety of such people immediately in case of emergency if they are registered in advance.
