Crime Rates among Foreigners in Japan

This dataset compiles publicly available statistics from the Immigration Services Agency (ISA) and the National Police Agency (NPA) of Japan for the years 2014–2023. It combines ISA data on the population of foreign residents by nationality and visa status with NPA data on the number of foreign criminal suspects by offense type and nationality. Using these sources, the dataset calculates crime rates per 1,000 population, disaggregated by nationality, visa category, and offense type. The dataset supports research on the immigrant–crime nexus, migration governance, and public safety in Japan.
