Overview
"Yami-baito" are shady part-time jobs that lure applicants in with the promise of high pay and coerce them into being complicit in crimes such as fraud and robbery. The National Police Agency recently published a report on this disturbing trend after listening to the accounts of young perpetrators. In the second half of the program, we go over the tactics that crime groups use to manipulate workers and look at how international residents are being targeted.
