“Whether any of these offenses—simple shoplifting, organized theft, or violent smash-and-grabs—are actually happening more frequently overall is, at best, ambiguous.”
If you don’t prosecute or charge people for their crimes then guess what, no crime statistics. How does stuff like this get published?

The large retailers all have accurate internal data on shrinkage rates. But so far they haven't been willing to release enough details for outsiders to assess the situation.
