The word of big business is truth and doubting it is a conspiracy theory? That’s a bit of a leap.
Anyway, TFA links to more reading in its final paragraph. Look for the link in the following text:
but: An analysis of crime statistics and other reporting by The Atlantic cast doubt on what it called the "great shoplifting freak-out," citing "fuzzy data" and asserting that what's being lumped together as shoplifting is actually a variety of violent crimes.
- phendrenad2 5y agoThat doesn't answer my question, but... that article you tell me to read merely says that there isn't enough information to say that there's a theft spike, it does not provide any evidence against a theft spike.
- WalterGR 5y agoThose can be equivalent.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoNot really. If stores aren't reporting their theft problems because police aren't doing anything about them...the theft problem remains even if the crime statistics magically don't show it. Everyone quickly realizes it is a farce and even the most left-wing SF politician stops using the statistics in their arguments.
