Honestly, the task force sounds on paper like a good idea; it’s not designed to “crack down” on shoplifting but to try and understand the root causes.
If this is followed up with social programs to address the underlying issues, everyone wins.
If it is instead used to unfairly target minority groups, then everyone loses.
