    Worth noting that this data is voluntarily self-reported.

    Rich people might be more willing to self report because they aren’t afraid of the consequences if they’re caught.

      Sure but this isn’t really new research, there’s been several that suggest “wealth” is more likely to cause bad and cheating behaviour

          Absolutely!

          The results aren’t surprising, but the methods are so bad that they should ask for a refund on their education 😝

    I did assets protection for target from 2000 to 2004 and a huge portion of my shoplifters were middle age white women that typically had the money to pay for the stuff they stole. Next on the list was kids and I worked in stores in some pretty rough neighborhoods. It’s been a while so I think behaviors have changed a bit but bored housewives were always my biggest problem.

    A lot of them stole so often they even knew the dollar amount to keep it a misdemeanor. In Massachusetts at the time 250 or higher was a felony.

    Because they know they have plausible deniability - why would I steal, I’m rich! And it gives them a thrill.

    They even moreso feel like “It’s not my fucking job, I already have a job, so suck it.” than the rest of us.

      The employees already lost their jobs to the self checkout registers. If you cared about jobs you should be stealing as much as possible at self checkouts until they are phased out.

          Lmao no need to be a salty little bitch. The “you” in my last post was generic, not applying directly to you. Obviously you specifically can’t change shit. You can’t even comprehend discourse.
