I think you’ll find data shows violent young men with poor self-control and chaotic home lives carry out most thefts. Typically poor or working-class. But it’s not as though they use the money to pay rent or buy groceries for their grandmothers. They spend it on the things aggressive young men with cash in their pocket spend it on (drugs, booze, oakleys) And in the case of organized shoplifting rings, the people running them certainly aren’t living off Kraft dinner.
