    You’re gonna roll eyes on the answer or already know what needs to be done. We need to change the system so people are less inclined to shoplift.

      Okay, change it how? Give people homes? Give them more money? Better education? Hold their hands and guide them in life? How exactly do you think we should change everything so that it benefits criminals?

        hey the definition of criminal is set by fallible people so don’t pretend it’s the be all end all!

        “criminal” is such an encompassing term that seems to put murderers, rapists, drug peddlers who sell to children vs. some weed smokers, falsely accused people, white collar criminals, petty criminals including shoplifters, jaywalkers, etc.

        You can’t seriously think someone who steals an apple from a shop needs the same treatment as a violent unrepentant murderer?
