He is obviously a "good husband" Hundreds of secretly photographed photos on the mobile phone "it's dark in front of my eyes." Japan is a "big country for secretly photographing", which is the thrilling and dominant desire pursued by "college graduates and ordinary company employees" with many victims.

"it was dark before my eyes. When asked, the husband, who was initially denied, admitted taking pictures secretly and knelt down. All the pictures were deleted on the spot, but their memories still linger in my mind. The husband is actively involved in housework and parenting, and the work is going well. As long as he doesn't secretly take pictures, he is really a "good husband".... "

College graduates are very common office workers are the culprits of secret photography.

　Secretly photographed victims happen all the time.

　In April, a secret photo incident occurred in the toilet in the Capitol. In the future, officials of the Ministry of economy and Industry were arrested. Maybe it's August. So are the police. The inspector general of the Wakayama Prefecture Police search Division 1, then 35, who was in charge of the "Don Fan of Jizhou" incident, secretly photographed women with his smartphone while on a business trip to Tokyo during the search. I had an argument with the woman I noticed, which made her fall and hurt me. The Director of the Inspection Office has been submitted for inspection.

"the news of secretly filming has been reported for days, and these are always the tip of the iceberg. According to the data from the Police Department, "the number of reported cases of clandestine photography reached 1741 in 10 years and 3953 in 19 years." that is, it has doubled in 10 years. And even if the victim was photographed, he did not notice that he could not be sent to the victim, so the actual number is more. "

　So says Saito Saito, a mental health and social welfare teacher who is familiar with the treatment of dependence. As a "sexual dependence disorder," Saito works at the Okashimoto clinic in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, where Saito works. It has been dedicated to secretly filming and treating predators of predators.

"judging from the details of patients diagnosed with sex dependence in this clinic, the culprit is second only to the pervert. Secretly filming can be said to be "the two major domestic sex crimes that keep pace with perverts" (Saito, the same below)

　From May 2006 to March 20, the clinic surveyed 521 patients diagnosed with eavesdropping disorder (secretly photographing, peeping). As a result, the following perpetrators surfaced.

Most of the victims are "ordinary office workers of college graduates". In addition, about 50% of people have a spouse. "

　What is even more surprising is that the perpetrators are getting younger.

"the age of 10 to 20 years old accounted for 70% of the total, with an average of 21.8 years old."

　Like the husband of a beautiful girl at the beginning, the faces behind ordinary people are almost always the perpetrators of secret photos.

　So, what about the places and means that are prone to secretly taking pictures?

"the staircase, escalator and tram in the station are the places where secret photos are frequently taken. According to the information of the Bureau of Life Safety of the Police Department, the harm of covert photography in these places accounted for 30% of the total in the first year of Linghe. "

　When it comes to secretly taking pictures, it is easy to imagine shooting with ultra-small cameras in pens, shoes and bags, but in fact, the use of "smartphones" accounts for the vast majority. 69% of the culprits being treated at the clinic are smartphones, and 90% of them use "silent APP" that doesn't sound when shooting.

　On the escalator in the station, secretly take pictures of the skirt with your mobile phone so as not to be discovered by women. This can be said to be the usual means of secretly photographing the perpetrators revealed from the data.

Eliminate daily stress by secretly taking pictures

　In the eyes of women, "in the end, why are you taking pictures?" "I'll twist your neck.

"there are the most motivations for belittling the interest of secretly photographing. At first, what is done in a very light mood for self-use (initiative), the purpose will slowly change. Before taking a secret photo, although it is very nervous whether it will be detected by the people around you, it can actually be easily photographed with a smartphone. At that time, the offender will feel a sense of achievement, superiority, thrilling, and then become anxious and addicted to "secretly taking pictures in order to take pictures." Soon, secretly taking pictures became a goal in itself, and some people didn't even confirm the images they took. "

　What's more troublesome is that secretly filming can't just end with a simple sense of elevation. Next, we will introduce the words of the perpetrators that Saito has treated.

"secretly taking pictures is the act of reading a diary in order not to be discovered by the other party. This sense of superiority can never be experienced in daily life. Then save the image and video, you can satisfy the dominant desire and all desires. "

"by secretly filming this sex crime, they eliminate daily stress such as inferiority, loneliness, injured self-esteem and insatiable desire to admit.

　Unfortunately, in some men, as an inappropriate way to deal with stress, people have a strong tendency to dominate women, treat them like things, and sexually belittle them. In this context, there are patriarchal values that look down at women. "

　In order to relieve himself of the pressure, he vented that he was a woman. This was also found in the stabbing of Oda Kuiyama in August.

　It also has something to do with Misogini (female aversion) in the confession that the offender wants to kill her when he sees a happy woman.

For the perpetrators, you can see cognitive distortions such as "wearing a miniskirt is like saying you want to take a picture." Some people say, "secretly filming is what deep-rooted perverts do," but that's not the case. On the contrary, the values of some men who treat women as objects remain the same as the spread of sexual harassment and authority harassment in society. "

　Anyone can be in danger of becoming a culprit.

Secretly photographed minors will also be arrested.

　Moreover, secret photos of ladies in the custom of receiving guests also emerge in endlessly.

　In June this year, a 31-year-old woman working in a custom shop was killed by a 19-year-old boy at a hotel in the city of Lichuan.

　It was also reported that the victim's female noticed that the assaulted teenager had brought a camera into the room, causing trouble.

　Like this victimizing teenager, there are a lot of secretly photographed children of minors.

"for a mother, it is a bolt from the blue that her son will become the perpetrator of a sex crime. "is it possible that my child." With such a surprise, people around them will also say disturbing words such as "parents' parenting style is not good" and "want to see their parents' faces". But in the eyes of experts, there is no evidence of a direct correlation between parenting styles and the problem behavior of the perpetrators. However, mothers, in particular, are distressed by the theory of self-responsibility for parenting such as "because of my poor parenting methods" and are unable to consult with anyone. "

　The clinic is also committed to helping the families of the perpetrators, including the "wives' club".

There are also parents who say, "my child is a good, trouble-free child." in fact, this is just a "good boy" for parents. Another model is that children wear a smiling mask while skillfully hiding their desires and desires. "

　In the past, said Mr. Takahashi, a lawyer who used to interrogate the culprit as a prosecutor.

"although secretly photographing is a minor, they may bear criminal responsibility when they are over the age of 14."

　In fact, there are also cases in which high school students are arrested on suspicion of secretly taking pictures.

"in the case of adults, criminal penalties may be imposed, but under the Juvenile Act, the procedures required for juvenile rehabilitation will be implemented. In the case of minors, the parties may also consider the failure to judge good and evil. It is necessary to teach children morality before adults punish the danger of "mischief". "(lawyer Takahashi)

　In addition, when the victim is discussed by the child, the adult should get it.

"after that, the victim will also be tormented by the unease of being exposed to an unspecified majority of people, such as' what if it is uploaded to SNS'. Some people can not use the station, can not get on the tram, etc., daily life will also be threatened. People who have been negotiated say that "because of wearing such a short skirt" to pay attention to the victim's clothes, "not being touched" and other contemptuous words and deeds will lead to a second victim. "(Saito mentioned earlier)

　Although it is a sexual crime, there is also the problem of legal rectification in the context of being easily despised.

"at present, there is no law on the crime of secretly taking pictures. Only the regulations on the prevention of nuisance made by the prefectures and counties are banned. In other words, there is no unified standard throughout the country, and there are counties that can be punished and counties that cannot be punished for cram school toilets, company changing rooms, and so on, for secretly taking pictures outside "public places." Although the act of secretly taking pictures in bathhouses can also be applied to misdemeanors, "the detention for less than 30 days and the fee of less than 10,000 yen" is a very minor crime. "(lawyer Takahashi)

　Prosecuting the perpetrators by secretly filming is a fragile and impatient situation. But there are also strategies that can't bear to swallow. Lawyer Takahashi said.

"secretly filming is a very regular sex crime. By reporting the case, when the offender is caught secretly taking pictures somewhere, the combination of the pictures left on the victim's phone and the report submitted may lead to the filing of the case. Even if the prisoner tries to destroy the evidence, the police will recover the data. Recently, the legal Review Council has finally made a move to enact a law banning clandestine photography under the name of "photography crime", but it still needs to be discussed carefully. Even the existing anti-nuisance legislation, if applied properly, will have a deterrent effect to a certain extent. "

　Now Japan is also known as a big country in secretly filming.

"in order to prevent victimization, it is more conscious of what impact it will have on others if you photograph someone without authorization from your daily life." (Saito)

　One day, suddenly, the husband or son was caught for secretly taking pictures, and he may also become the family of the perpetrator. Behind the convenience of simply shooting with a smartphone, I want to rethink the dangerous status quo.
