Shoplifting





I think stealing from a big company is less harmful than stealing from a small cornershop, because it wouldn't really leave a big hole in the pocket of Tesco's if a bottle goes missing. However, it is still an unacceptable crime because the item doesn't belong to the robber and why should he or she not have to pay when everyone else does. The crime becomes more harmful when one person is targeted for example- if someone gets mugged walking down the road minding their own business then, they have more chance of becoming mentally effected. I am not dismissing the fact stealing from corporations is not a crime, but it os a fact no one is mentally affected but a tiny amount of their mmoney, and it is what businnesses expect, because it's universal that people rob from stores otherwise there wouldn't be security.


It is a different story if masses of items go missing on a regular basis, but this isn't the case. Research have shown tha main things that a stolen from stores are goods such as razor blades not double door fridge freezers.
