Target blamed theft and violence when it closed 9 stores in New York, Seattle, San Francisco and Portland, but crime is worse at locations it kept open nearby.
Agree. While it’s on a lower crime area, it’s also possible that sales were also lower at those stores, so crime took a larger chunk of revenue. Or a million other things. Correlation does not equal causation.
