Exactly. The first thing the majority of people (who don't live in big cities) think about crime is that it's on the rise. But ask them if they know of any incidents in their local area and what you'll get is "one of my neighbor's hundreds of Amazon's deliveries was nicked" story.

Even in larger cities shoplifting is just a convenient excuse to close underperforming stores.

Ana can not stop pushing her pet narrative.

I actually support this study...partly. Why? Simply because when we hear so many reports giving us crime stats, many of them claim to be show a % of the country as a whole, when the increases have actually been in specific cities. Some reports point out this distinction, but many do not, especially if your TRYING to skew the numbers to show a "nation wide" crime spike, when this study proves the spikes are only happening in specific cities. if there's a crime spike in Chicago, that does not necessarily mean that crime is up across Illinois. Details matter. 🇺🇲

NYC must have a horrendous problem that should have been highlighted to the Nth degree with an analysis of why and how it happened. If the rest of the US is going down and NYC is going up enough to change the statistics that much it is highly important.

"Imprison the masses! save the merchandise!" The ad revenue has put worms in your brains

Excluding outlers is NORMAL statistical analysis. In this case, you can either say - "shiplifiting is up in america" or you can say "shoplifting is down in most places, where most of you live, but there are some exceptions." Which sentence is more reflective of reality? It's not as if they said "shoplifting is down" and you'd assume it was until you sorted through all their data and found out they misrepresented. No, they stated it EXACTLY as it is and actually gave us MORE information, and more USEFUL information by saying it the way they did. So to answer your question, Ana, THAT IS WHY they said that. Honestly, is so obvious I'm finding it difficult to believe you aren't being intentionally obtuse just so you throw shade at the source (who deserve plenty of shade, but c'mon). You're not making them look bad here, you're making yourselves look stupid.

Is shoplifting up or down in America. Certain cities are having so much problems that their data can be misleading. By excluding these areas you get a better picture of what's happening nationally. However this doesn't do anything to diminish the severity of those areas. It's like if you're reviewing 10 of the safest cities in America and you also look at Chicago, the Chicago data is going to muddy the waters for everything else. Two things can be true.

No. It's literally just NYC. Minus NYC alone, the numbers are down across the board. "Why would you cut out NYC anyway?" Two reasons. The first being its a significant outlier, and you prune outliers in research. Second, NYC doesn't and shouldn't be given so much importance as to distort the stats for an entire country. I live here. I'm more than happy to shit on Eric Adam's (by the way, Ana, care to integrate how a famously pro-cop mayor somehow has crime stats bad enough to distort the entire country's crime stats into your recent bend about left-wing DAs being the problem?). "Values in shoplifting increased compared to 2019!" So did prices, massively. Some prices doubled or even tripled since 2019.

if shoplifting data indicates shoplifting grew 16% overall but drops by 7% when excluding new york… that’s not a “trick” it literally means there was an increased number of shoplifting incidents in new york and a decreased number of shoplifting incidents in other cities overall compared to 2019. it’s actually helpful that they pointed that out cause if they just said “shoplifting reports were 16% higher compared to 2019” and said nothing else then people would assume that shoplifting increased in every single city when that’s not necessarily true. not sure why tyt can’t seem to grasp this, but not all americans live in the biggest cities so for those in smaller cities or rural communities it makes perfect sense look at the data exclusive of the biggest cities. cmon people it’s not that complicated, please use your brains…

With Ana again starting the video with the scariest story, you just know that there’s not going to be a rational discussion of facts. Ana’s only problem with the figures presented by the non profit is not that the figures are incorrect but that she doesn’t like the framing. Yet Ana is the one using biased framing by saying “they have no choice but to confess and admit that” (the non profit showing crime increasing during the pandemic), so another way to put it is that they’re being honest? Apparently the non profit also saying store assaults are 7% down in the first half of 2023 compared to 2022 is not good, because it’s bad to show that crime is starting to trend downwards? If only there was an explanation for all this like a world wide pandemic leading to traumatic loss of life and loss of money for governments and businesses and loss of earnings for workers which then led to an increase in crime (not only in the USA). Now that things are slowly improving, crime is slowly trending down in a number of countries. It’s insane that a so called “home of the mainstream progressives” show is dredging up right wing rhetoric from the 90s like “soft on crime”. Cenk should now just drop “progressives” from the label.

The value of goods stolen in shoplifting cases has gone up, because the value of goods has gone up. It's not that people are stealing more things. It's that the stores are charging more for the same items, so stealing the same items would show an increase in dollar value. Theftflation. Honestly, that probably contributes to shoplifting as well. People can't afford the things they need, so they resort to stealing. If you want to reduce shoplifting, increase wages. Make sure everybody can get a good job that pays them enough money to buy the things they need, and people won't go out and steal the things they need.

Well since many retailers are closing down that would reduce thefts .

Lemme give everyone a statistics lesson really quickly: in stats, there are things called outliers, aberrations, things that're wildly different from the true data generating process. It would be like if we compared El Paso's homicide rate to Juarez or Colima or Los Cabos, some of the most violent areas in Mexico. It would be unfair to El Paso, since places like these are so extreme, that the comparison isn't really warranted very much. So excluding NYC and LA is just something we'd expect from people who know what they're doing.

NYC is a huge population tho, so by excluding it they get "shoplifting down 7% overall instead of being up by 16%" but NY is almost 3% of the countries population so for those 3% they are experiencing extreme shoplifting frequency. Why should their suffering be excluded?

@jaredgreathouse3672

7 ай бұрын

@Harkness78 the reason is because we wish to make inferences about a broader population, to hopefully guide policy analysis or recommendations. So, if one place (that has a high population, and thus more crime in general on average as a raw number) experiences a big shock (or any shock really), it can lead people to think that 16% of the countries shoplifting rates are up, but in reality, for 97% of the other people in the country, this isn't true, that it's went down.

Are you not understanding that corporations in 2019 did not tell employees NOT to report the crime or call the POLICE You are making a huge mistake here

I agree with the points you are trying to make, but you are making a HUGE phraseology error at the end... You are saying "against the citizens" referring to the victims as citizens which implies that the perps are not (or should not be considered) citizens. That's just wrong. Both victims and perpetrators are citizens. Yes the perps should be arrested and go to jail, and it's horrible to fail to advocate for the victims... but committing a crime does not cancel citizenship. As an example, IF the prison reform Anna speaks so passionately about actually happens, and the perps serve their time and do reform their ways and do not commit further crimes, they should retain all their rights and protections... through the entire process. All people have certain *Inalienable Rights*... as per our founding documents. You are using dehumanizing phraseology. Please try harder, I suspect you don't really intend to do that. To recap: Do continue to advocate for putting the criminals in Jail where they belong. Do not dehumanize them (or any other group of people).

I'm the opposite of a shoplifter. I take any item I don't want any more into the store. When no-one's looking I put it on a shelf and walk out. Never been caught yet.

because that's more littering, they'd be annoyed but people drop shit all the time, probably someone else cleaning up your litter for you every time so who would track it? Do you do it to save on collection and trash pickup? There are easier ways...

When i say that a crime was likely committed due to the person being poor, i dont also think that criminal shouldn't be prosecuted. I just think its important to keep in context WHO and WHY someone committed a crime so we can as a society find ways to address whatever systemic issues exist that lead to high crime numbers

I know people I've worked with that would maybe try and shoplift a single bag or 2. Literally just to wear. But none that I know that would legit try and pull a heist lol. That's for desperate people or criminal enterprises. Random people doing ok don't do shit like that. Not worth the risk. People who got nothing to lose though...

That Macy’s is a pretty easy spot to target too. There are multiple exits/entrances that go all around the block.

Regrettably, Ana's slide into conservatism gets worse by the day. The man who did the stabbing is very unlikely to have thought that there would be no consequences and he would never be held accountable -- that she said that, may rank as the stupidest thing she has ever said. Like most crimes of that nature, the consequences probably did not enter into the equation -- but drug use or mental illness or both may have. It is also possible that he understood the risk but didn't care. I think we can be sure he didn't commit murder because he thought he could get away with it -- just like the rest of us, he likely understood, whether drugged or mentally ill, that killing someone in a store full of cameras on a Monday morning would end poorly for him. No one, except Ana thinks that murder goes unprosecuted, and as such, criminals feel like they have a free hand to kill at will. However, Ana may be happy that he will spend the rest of his life in the prisons she hates so much.

Occam's razor have always served me well. This was an example of lack of data seeking justification for a narrative. A sort of - something anecdotal happened (since retail theft stabbings isn't exactly a common crime), in conjunction with another crime, therefor our narrative that retail theft criminals don't seem to care what they do, would automatically think that it plus stabbings equals no consequence. The leap of the imagination on this one makes me dizzy. As far as criminals not caring when they raid a store. Why wear masks at all if they think there will be no consequence to it?

Cenk and Ana have massive ego problems. It's frustrating and disappointing to see them double down on their bad take here when so much evidence proves them wrong. Like holy crap you guys are so immature.

This reminds me of Marion Barry the former mayor of Washington DC. In response to why the crime rate was so high in his city , his response was : if you exclude the murders… crime is actually down.

The ability to earn a comfortable living wage and having a sense of "hard work pays off" is looking bleak and is looking like you can't get to even when you try. It's creating desperate characters resorting to shoplifting. Not speaking for people who can afford it but are just thrill seekers. Maybe behavioral changes by corporations and corporate representatives in Congress will reduce shoplifting?

Okay. That was a stupid article. I just read it. It was vague

I do not think the person who did the stabbing did it bc he believed prosecutors are now "soft on shoplifting" at all. I'm sure the consequences were the furthest thing from his mind. And most chronic shoplifters of small items are poor! Maybe they should be paid a fair wage so they don't need to steal pampers for their baby. Get over this idea that all shoplifting is the same and leads to larger crimes. There is zero evidence of that and both crimes existed before so called soft on crime policies and will exist after them. It is economically driven! Not consequences driven. How well did the war on drugs work out on curbing drug use and gang violence? Not so well eh? Comeon TYT...you guys are better than this. And btw, each city has it's own policies about prosecuting theft...unlike the war on drugs...so one could pick and choose cities or states that hold similar policies and exclude ones that don't to compare and contrast the efficacy of said practices. Sounds to me like you guys are coming from a very insular priviledged standpoint and just want to vent and act appalled at the rest of society that you are clearly far removed from.

These are your so "progressive" policies at work! 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm glad Ana did emphasize that we need prison reform. *That cannot be emphasized enough!*

This is what bothers me about the macys situation.

People went crazy talking about how banko should have just been let go and everything would have been ok. Now it’s reverse they let the criminal go and he comes back and stabs and kills a security guard. Where are all the protesters, where are the people sparking outrage because a honest hardworking person got killed by a criminal that they let go. This is insane all those who supported banko should be ashamed

like people defend this kind of thing by saying people have no choice because the goverment is just not giving enough help for people or because of the housing crissis were are facing. like as though we fix the houseing crisis and just help people more it would get rid of all this theft and crime.

People 'explain' this 'kind of thing' by pointing to the 'reality' that inequality is 'at an all time high in American history', which means 'inequality is at an all time high in WORLD history'. This comes at a time when corporations have 'created inflation' by increasing the prices of 'all goods' for 'no reason whatsoever', thus recording record-breaking profits while nearly doubling the price of food, and housing... while wages have not increased to match 'inflation' for going on half a century. For the first time in the country's history young people are statistically going to be 'worse off' than their parents, and home ownership is becoming an impossibility for most, while rent skyrockets and homelessness increases. You suggest that 'the only solution' anyone is calling for is 'affordable housing', which would undeniably 'help', and 'aid programs'... but that is not an argument anyone is actually making. Taxes need to be 'made great again', winding back to 'previous decades where 'the crime you are complaining about was less prevalent'. Wages need to be increased to catch up to the last FIFTY YEARS of 'inflation'. Corporate price gouging needs to be STOPPED... by any of the MANY METHODS that other countries have SUCCESSFULLY USED to prevent rampant profiteering at the expense of societal stability.
