A
Little wonder that affluent shoppers come in droves. Little wonder that others come as well, muggers, car thieves, child molesters, drug peddlers, pickpockets, and shoplifters. Criminals are finding a lucrative stamping ground in the sprawling emporiums that dot U. S. suburbs.
"Malls are like big jars of honey," says Police Chief Joseph Delaney of Paramus. "Lots of bees come buzzing in, stingers at the ready." Paramus, a New York City suburb of 26,000 whose six malls draw nearly 200,000 people on a typical Saturday, reported 8.9 million dollars in shopping center crime losses last year.
B
It is crimes of violence that are causing the most alarm. Vast parking lots and mazes of stores offer good working conditions for criminals. Victims and booty are readily accessible, escape routes plentiful.
C
Just how many victims are claimed by shopping center crime, no one knows. But many business people are taking the threat seriously. Whether offences are big or small, it is clear that merchants have little interest in publicizing the trend. Comments Anthony Potter, a security consultant: "If shopping centres started reporting all the crimes that take place, nobody would shop there."
D
Hamilton, Ohio, lawyer David Green, who won 2 million dollars on behalf of a woman abducted from a mall parking lot and shot in the head, found that 43 serious crimes had occurred at the same site. "Bad guys know this is where to find women with money— vulnerable and alone." he says. Indeed, most violence happens in parking areas, where shoppers can easily be taken by surprise. Reports Albert Sussman of the International Council of Shopping Centres: "People park their cars and are robbed by muggers, who can quickly find a place to hide."
Crimes are rampant in malls.
选项
答案
A
解析
根据段落A中第一段前两句话“affluent shoppers come in droves”,“others come as well,…”正如买东西的人经常成群而至,抢劫犯、偷车贼、骚扰儿童的人、毒品贩子、扒手、冒充顾客进商店扒窃的扒手也是成群出现的。故选A。
