The public and media attention will likely focus on the background of the incident, legal proceedings, and potential measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

Just like in Japan, violent crimes in the workplace are also fairly uncommon in the US or EU. However, such incidents spark widespread discussion about workplace safety, addressing mental health issues, and protecting female employees from gender-based violence. The legal proceedings follow strict processes, and often lead to considerations about the necessity for stricter regulations to prevent similar violent acts.
