California's decision to decriminalize shoplifting under $1,000 means stores have to enforce their own security. People will get upset with the store, but not understand it's because the authorities aren't doing their jobs.

I can't remember where I saw the article, but it talked about the dynamic of shopliftings effect on low-income areas.
