Seemingly random crimes, known colloquially as 'any victim would do' cases, have become a significant concern in Japan. Law enforcement agencies and community organizations are developing counteractive methods to prevent these incidents, focusing on areas often targeted like crowded public spaces and late-night city areas. The story delves into the social and psychological backgrounds of these crimes, with an in-depth analysis of potential preventive measures and guidelines for public safety.

In Japan, public safety is highly valued, and crimes of this nature have the potential to disrupt the usually peaceful social order. Such arbitrary acts of violence are alarming because they undermine the sense of security in public spaces which Japan prides on. As such, the Japanese society often responds to these issues through extensive public discourse and immediate action from law enforcement and policymakers.

In contrast, the US and EU deal with their own sets of crime problems. While 'any victim would do' crimes also exist, they are often linked with other social issues such as poverty, gun control, and systemic racism that might influence such behavior. However, precautions to prevent such crimes such as increased policing or community watch programs are also predominant in these regions.
