Thea Sebastian, the executive director at The Futures Institute, and Hanna Love, a fellow at The Brookings Institution, discuss their report “Separating fact from fiction” in retail theft across the U.S.” As retailers step up security measures and stricter antitheft laws take effect in states across the nation, their study claims shoplifting occurrences in major cities did not actually happen and circulating data on retail theft is unreliable and imprecise. They also share what they call “sensible ways” to address retail theft and empower local economies.
Plus, we air WABE business reporter Marlon Hyde’s feature from the “Young Business” series. The story spotlights a college student who created an online shipping platform that helps second-hand apparel businesses ship orders.
Lastly, two legendary artists died over the weekend. We will remember Atlanta hip-hop producer Rico Wade of Organized Noize and Faith Ringgold, a children’s book author and visual artist best known for her story quilts depicting African American experiences.
