Serial Napper | True Crime Stories for Naps ·

2022/08/07

In Canada, we have a sex offender database but not just anyone can access it, it’s kept for the use and benefit of the police. And there’s a bit of debate around that - whether or not everyone should have access to a database of sex offenders that live in their neighbourhoods or whether that might insight vigilante justice and put these people at risk. The reason I mention this is because many people are pushing for change in Canada, wanting the registry to be made public, particularly after the

I’ve said it before, but Japan is an incredibly safe country overall - but when crimes are committed, they can be particularly horrendous and weird. And the story of Kabu Terauchi is exactly that - horrendous and weird. But not in the way that you would think. Kabu Terauchi would lay out a plan to abduct a young girl while she was walking home from school.
