For example, Morton (1975) found that department stores account for 41% of total retail sales in the United States but account for 61% of all crimes. Drug stores represent 6% of all crimes, but claim 10% of all losses due to crime, and grocery stores make up 42% of all sales, but only experience 21% of all criminal losses. One possible explanation is that department and drug stores have more items that are both desirable and easy to shoplift t...han other stores.

There are, however, some indications that demand characteristics influenced subjects to say what they thought was expected.
