The claim

刑務所の殺人・傷害の収容者は中国、韓国・朝鮮籍が65%

Original review summary

The review reports that Chinese and Korean/Chosun nationals made up 2–4% of new prisoners convicted of murder or assault over the 16 years examined. It also notes that, even if all 1,218 Chinese and Korean/Chosun nationals imprisoned at the end of 2021 had been imprisoned for those crimes, they would have accounted for only 37% of the 3,335 prisoners convicted of murder or assault.[S1]
