Clearly it is,
Cages/mantraps to enter the store.
Bars on windows and doors small enough to not allow a human through.
Limit on how many in a store at one time.
Merchandise locked up, and only available for one person, to look at one thing, supervised by one employee.
Because it is clearly, NOT,Stopping or /Punishing the Thief’s.
