This report has some interesting findings, if not necessarily very conclusive.
It's based on the premise that by using whois and DNS data of known malicious domains it may be possible to "create a profile of locations and privacy preferences of cybercriminals" in order to try and identify malicious domains before they become active.
I found it interesting that Japan features highly in the findings (not .jp names, but for hosting, the use of onamae for whois privacy, and the use of free email addresses), but there's no correlation between the use of whois privacy in general and domains used for malicious purposes.
