statistics show more men (55%) shoplift than women. Shoplifting s more prevalent in urban areas (65%)
20% of shoplifters come from households earning over $75,000 annually, debunking the myth that economic necessity is a primary driver of shoplifting.
Food represents 10% of thefts, electronics 30%. Estimates say that 1 in 11 people have shoplifted at least once.
