Why does "chikan" behavior — public groping on Japan’s trains — continue, even after decades of awareness campaigns?

In this episode of Japan Today Spotlight, we explore how offenders operate, what train companies and police are doing, and what victims — and the falsely accused — need to know. We also take a closer look at how Japan’s objectification of women plays into the larger issue.
