Top ten most shoplifted items



The past week I have mainly been looking into theft on as wide a scale as possible. The first area I mainly looked at was shoplifting, the causes and effects it has on people.

The other week I shoplifted from a big supermarket(bigger shop mainly to minimise profit loss for them!), just to check out what it was about. I only nicked a piece of chewing gum but because it was the first time I shoplifted, I did feel nervous completing the act!

I have collected data of the most items shoplifted and was surprised to see alcohol so far up the list at number 2. I guess this is mainly due to people nicking it because of the price of it and also due to a habit perhaps.
