In response to a string of robberies involving "dark" part-time jobs solicited on social media, the government is planning to hold a meeting with all Cabinet members on crime control this month to strengthen countermeasures, government sources said.
It has been decided that the government as a whole must take serious measures to stop the deterioration of the public's sense of security.
In robberies that have occurred in the Kanto region and elsewhere, young people who responded to offers of high-paying dark part-time jobs were the alleged perpetrators of the crimes. The brutality of intruding into houses and robbing residents of their money and property by violence has caused widespread public concern.
