Given the tendency in Japan to blame criminal activity on foreigners or Zainichi Koreans (despite most crime in Japan being committed by the Japanese,) I think it would also be naive to assume xenophobia isn't a factor.

There are a lot more Japanese in Japan than there are foreigners. Similarly, blacks in the US "only" commit a little under half of murders... but they are much much less than half of the population.
