NYC is proving that shoplifting is a simple repeat-offender problem. And an easily solvable one. Shoplifting increased 64% from 2019 to 2023. It was the same 300 people committing a third of the shoplifting in the city. But only a small portion of retail complaints led to arrests, so retailers stopped calling police and just put their deodorant behind plexiglass, or have you press a button and wait four minutes to buy toothpaste. It's been stupid. Now the city and state are going after those repeat offenders with a few key tactics: 1) The state now lets prosecutors aggregate thefts across incidents, so five $200 shoplifts from the same Rite Aid becomes a serious felony, not misdemeanor slaps. 2) NYPD started banning serial shoplifters from stores with trespass affidavits so they prosecutors can stack charges when they came back 3) NYPD used data to put foot patrols in commercial corridors and officers at subway stops shoplifters used as escape routes. 4) NYPD encouraged retailers to call them about the thieves who show up everyday to steal small stuff, and then they followed through with arrests. Thanks to these measures, retail theft is down 20% in the first quarter of 2026, with double-digit declines in every borough. And the recidivism rate dropped from 20% to 13%. The NYC economy was hemorrhaging $4.4 billion a year to shoplifting. They're now reversing it pretty cheaply, just by tracking repeat offenders, arresting them, and upgrading their charges to make it easier for prosecutors to punish them.

"Food deserts" are an example of social scientists getting causality backwards They saw poor people eating unhealthy foods and blamed local supply They should have blamed demand! Using data from 13 years of supermarket entries, there's basically no effects on healthy eating🧵
