No. of accused stalkers undergoing rehab treatment reaches record high 824

So, does 'treatment' include electroshock therapy? I can only hope so. Applied directly, wet, to the cajones.

No. of accused stalkers undergoing rehab treatment reaches record high 824

But:

However, the number of stalkers who refused a medical examination last year was 635, which is more than 70% of the 824 cases. Their reasons for refusing treatment included denying they had a psychological problem or stating they had already received therapy.

I never understood what people get out of stalking. Stalkers can be women but they’re for the most part men. I get it if you like or infatuated with someone but obsessing over them to the point where you’re stalking outside their home or window is just creepy and pathetic

They have rehab for stalkers? And, there are over 800 receiving therapy at present?

Advice for all you jilted nutters out there: Grow up and move on! Therapy finished!

I would imagin after group meetings they all follow each other home. Or in circles.

"reasons for refusing treatment included denying they had a psychological problem"

They are so lucky to be japanese in japan, american cops would have long rested them in peace.

According to the NPA, the number of stalkers enrolled in treatment programs was 405 cases in 2016. This number rose to 750 in 2018 and increased to 824 last year. Moreover, all 47 prefectures have been lobbying for rehabilitation treatment to address the issue. 

I'm going to look at this in a positive light and say that at least people are acknowledging their problems instead of just letting it get the best of them.

Mental health really isn't much of a deal in Japan or in Asia in general, or at least that's what I see as someone who was born and raised in Asia. From the common Asian person's view, addictions and mental health problems are a part of the life that is meant to be dealt alone and being open about it will give you a lot of stigma, leading to people just keeping themselves to themselves. This needs to change.

The UN's view:

Ten people returned to their stalking behavior.

There is no hope for these ten. Incarceration is the only solution. I am sorry for the ten women they stalked and hope they can recover from their trauma.

That number sounds pretty low.

How are these 824 stalkers in rehab but the other tens of thousands are not?

You wanna eliminate stalkers quicker?

Give more jail time, have a serious national sexual predator list, and actually enforce it. Then your numbers will come down real quick.
