Original Note:
Backpack bans aim to reduce theft and shoplifting. FBI data doesn’t show Black individuals as the primary offenders in shoplifting; linking such policies to one group is misleading and reinforces stereotypes over real issues. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/tables/table-43
