According to the news, Kanagawa Seal Printing Coop and Dr. Jun Kumamoto, an associate professor of Tokai University School of Humanities & Culture co-developed a sticker which can mark criminal's hand with non-erasable ink.

The sticker is double-faced and will be put on mobile phone, hand mirror or such goods. In case of emergency, you peel off the other side of the sticker and stamp the surface on criminal's hand. This will put X mark with drying-proof ink to help authorities identifying who's the guy. The ink is scratch-proof and drying-proof for half a year with a covering.

Also Dr. Kumamoto did marketing of the product with his students. The package is made colorful and endearing, reflecting female students' opinion.

The only thing you should be cautious is not to print X mark on wrong person. But this will be a nice idea to prevent annoying perverts, much more affordable and realistic than the male-only car thing.
