Feature
★ Author Masato Mori is a former sergeant of the Chiba Prefectural Police. He served about 15 years as a detective in the Community Safety Division, handling cybercrime and economic crime. After leaving the force, he worked in corporate risk management and founded the Criminal Phenomenon Analysis Institute in 2024. The book is supervised by Naoya Adachi.
★ “Slightly exaggerating a business card title,” “taking company documents home,” “recording a meeting on a smartphone”—these are things ordinary, serious workers do without thinking. Many arrested people never intended to break the law; they thought “it‘s for the company” or “this much is fine.” Such casual judgments can lead to disciplinary action, damages claims, or even criminal cases.
★ The book covers 29 traps across five chapters: workplace, relationships, sales, side jobs, and daily life. Each trap is explained from three angles: why the person was arrested, where the line into illegality was crossed, and how it could have been prevented. Know where danger lurks and protect yourself and those around you.
★ For company employees, managers, those with subordinates or juniors, daily SNS users, those interested in side jobs or investments, and HR, legal, and compliance personnel.

Description
【“This much is fine” is the entrance to arrest】
Slightly exaggerating a business card title / Taking company documents home / Recording a meeting on a smartphone / Using an image found online for work / Writing about workplace matters on SNS or chat
None of these are things only special criminals do. They are actions that serious, ordinary workers can inadvertently commit.
Most arrested people did not intend to break the law from the start. “It was for the company,” “I wanted to finish work quickly,” “I thought everyone was doing it,” “I thought this much was fine”—such casual judgments can develop into disciplinary action, damages claims, or even criminal cases.
Based on actual cases and judicial precedents, a former detective explains in plain language the 29 traps that cannot be excused with “I didn‘t know.”
【Real cases that make you say “Wait, this too?”】
● Arrested over a business card title!?
● Arrested for padding expenses!?
● Arrested for recording a meeting!?
● Arrested for logging in with a boss’s ID!?
● Arrested for teasing a subordinate on SNS!?
● Arrested for using an online image in sales materials!?
● Arrested for writing a review!?
● Arrested for reselling tickets!?
● Arrested for downloading videos!?
【A former detective explains from three angles】
● 1 Why were they arrested—explains what went wrong in the action through the flow of the case.
● 2 Where does it become illegal—introduces the boundary line separating casual actions from crime in a way understandable to those unfamiliar with law.
● 3 How could it have been prevented—concretely presents measures individuals can take and systems companies should establish.
【Recommended for】
● Company employees, managers, and executives
● Those with subordinates or juniors
● Daily SNS and chat users
● Those interested in side jobs or investments
● HR, legal, and compliance personnel
