Because of the specter of youth crimes and the attendant repercussions for education in Japan, the 1997 school year (April 1997 to March 1998) was regrettably a memorable one. In June 1997 a 14-year-old third-year junior high school boy was arrested on suspicion of murdering two elementary school children in Kobe and assaulting others. In January 1998 a 13-year-old first-year student at a junior high school in the city of Kuroiso in Tochigi Prefecture, apparently enraged at having been reprimanded during a break between classes, took out his "butterfly" clasp knife and stabbed a female teacher to death. Another shocking incident followed barely two months later, in March, at a junior high school in the city of Higashi-Matsuyama in Saitama Prefecture.
