> One factor that police believe is a driver of organized retail crime more recently is the fact that under new criminal justice reform laws and local district attorney’s policies to reduce mass incarceration, grand theft — the law that covers shoplifting — is a crime that judges can no longer jail a person or even require bail, no matter how many times the same individual is caught.

I don’t understand the proliferation of these ridiculous policies. San Francisco is a poster child for what happens when crime is made legal. Yet more municipalities follow in its footsteps.
