Question

What are the effects of stealing in different countries?

Answer 1

The effects? Same as anywhere. One loses money, another gains.

The causes? Haves and have-nots. Like anywhere.

In some societies it is looked down upon, as in Muslim countries. In others, it is not-so looked down upon. They have a different concept of what property is. It's not that they don't think stealing is wrong, but they accept that people do it without thinking twice.

In Australia, you're in big trouble if you steal. Mobs of people will come knocking on your door.

In France, if a poor person comes in a shop and steals a loaf of bread, no one really cares. Let them have it, they argue.

In Germany, thieves are among the lowest of the low.

In Switzerland, thieves are run out of town. Told not to come back.

In Spain, a thief is punished and their reputation is ruined.

In America, stealing is rampant and generally goes unpunished. The laws do not deter thieves from the crime at all. Unless, you are an employee. Employees who steal are sometimes blacklisted. Which, contrastingly, is overpunishment.

In Mexico, a thief's reputation is nearly ruined for a man and absolutely ruined for a woman. Also, if a thief in Mexico's name is Luis, he goes by "Luis the Thief".

In Japan, stealing is ingrained into the average person as evil. It is mostly gangs in Japan who do the most stealing. Nowadays, thieves in Japan are younger and bolder. Teenage gangs will disassemble bridges and sell them for scrap.

In Singapore, don't you dare steal! The punishment is dire.
