You’ve listened to a lot of misinformation about this topic. There aren’t huge gangs of shoplifters, and police force numbers have been growing in recent years. If anything is to blame for whatever increase there has been in shoplifting, it’s the stores who have tried their best to eliminate every bit of human staff.
- _joel 2y agoShow me the data to back that up as everything being reported is completely the opposite of what you suggest. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67742042 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67742042
- skywhopper 2y agoThe only data point in your article is that London police don’t follow up on shoplifting calls very often. That doesn’t indicate anything other than how seriously the police take the crime.
