Why do people feel the need to steal from shops?
Is it for the adrenalin rush? to get money to feed a drug or alcohol addiction? Or is someone stealing a necessity because they don’t have any money?
Even though stealing from large retail stores doesn’t seem to some as a bad thing, if the law had a harder effect on shoplifters, it might stop people from committing crime again. If there were tougher consequences, it would stop it escalating into worse crimes, such as breaking into houses, which is very invasive and personal, and armed robbery. If prison was tough enough, people would not offend again, and commit to reforming.
