Description
By now, you are quite familiar with the background of shoplifting in Riyadh. It is time for you to write your analysis.
Task
Your assignment is to analyze the data related to shoplifting.
Prompt: Retail businesses in Riyadh are complaining that the police are ineffective in stopping shoplifting. Periodic articles in the newspaper also make the problem seem hopeless.

If you feel that there is insufficient data, you can also include a request for more, but be specific about what is needed. You should include at least one graph or pie chart in your response.
