Simple as that. Of course, one of the highest correlations to crimes like theft and even to violent crime is socioeconomic imbalance. That is especially true for petty crimes like shoplifting. Maybe we should look into policies related to solving that issue instead of perpetuating socioeconomic imbalance and feeding the prison industrial complex by keeping up our 20% of the world's prison population with 4% of the world's overall population.

Additionally, using "blue area crime rates" as a means to build support for politicians who want to further dismantle and demonize social programs and education as well as limit upward mobility is bad politics at its best. 

I fear help is not on the way.
