NEMONT, who brought up the shoplifting example? CLUE, it wasn't me.
Things sometimes are counter intuitive. When poaching is taking place in remote areas it is often more detectable because people who use the area may be more likely to report it.(Or cover it up, depending on the group they are with.) In addition fewer people means there are also fewer suspects to investigate and fewer suspects leads to higher conviction rates because the investigators can focus.(Fewer people also means theere are fewer possible witnesses that may report the incident.) Also trophy poachers have a really stupid habit: They can't keep their mouths shut. Neither can successful legitmate hunters. Can you tell the difference?) Joe sixpack who poaches a doe takes it home to be butchered in the garage and bones thrown to the dogs. (Yet he still tells his freinds, and gets caught) Trophy poachers take pics, get mounts etc., etc. (So do legitmate hunters. Again, can you tell the difference?)
