It&#8217;s happening all too often in New York City, where retail theft jumped 44% in 2022. Mayor Eric Adams&#8217; latest approach to solving the problem is downright laughable.<\/p>\n<h3>The Plan<\/h3>\n<p>Adams&#8217; plan includes giving first-time offenders intervention programs instead of prosecution, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-state-university-student-government-voted-to-defund-police-administrators-wont-do-it\/\" title=\"California State University Student Government Voted To Defund Police. Administrators Won\u2019t Do It.\">de-escalation training<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walsh-aoc-dismissed-the-suffering-of-riot-victims-but-now-wants-us-to-have-sympathy-for-her\/\" title=\"WALSH: AOC Dismissed The Suffering Of Riot Victims But Now Wants Us To Have Sympathy For Her\">retail employees<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/informational-kiosks-new-york-citys-plan-to-stop-shoplifting-is-laughable\/\" title=\"NYC's plan to prevent shoplifting with informational kiosks is a joke.\">establishing neighborhood retail watch groups<\/a> to share information about theft in real-time with one another and the police, and installing kiosks in stores to connect would-be thieves with social service programs.<\/p>\n<p>But what sort of criminal, intent on stealing everything and anything he can, would stop and say, &#8220;Hey, look, a kiosk. I think I&#8217;ll get a pamphlet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Reality<\/h3>\n<p>Ralph Cilento, a retired NYPD Lieutenant Commander of Detectives and adjunct professor, wasn&#8217;t very impressed with the strategy. &#8220;So when people come in that were just about to steal, they won&#8217;t because they realize that stealing is a source of a different problem for them. So they&#8217;re going to use the kiosk to access social services,&#8221; Cilento told the local Fox affiliate. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, but that&#8217;s just a pipe dream.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And Cilento hit the nail on the head with that last part. Despite the Democrats&#8217; insistence that they support the police as well as law and order, they know that if they ever put in the policies needed to stop this problem, then the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s of the world would protest to no end. So the best they can offer is a kiosk, a slap on the wrist, and training for innocent store employees.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Retail theft in NYC jumped 44% in 2022<\/li>\n<li>Adams&#8217; plan includes giving first-time offenders intervention programs instead of prosecution, de-escalation training for retail employees, establishing neighborhood retail watch groups, and installing kiosks in stores to connect would-be thieves with social service programs<\/li>\n<li>Ralph Cilento, a retired NYPD Lieutenant Commander of Detectives and adjunct professor, called the plan a &#8220;pipe dream&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Democrats&#8217; soft-on-crime approach to retail theft is not the solution.
