Recent research argues that because markets for stolen goodss act as incentives to steal, police and criminologists should shift attention from thieves to methods of disrupting demand for the goods. The underlying research, however is too thin to support this advice. Effective policy requires considerably more investigation. Analysis of pawn transaction data from texas supports this assessment. It suggests that proporsals to disrupt demand are unlikely to succeed, partly because similar actions already applied to pawnshops have shown limited effect, mainly because hot goods are invisible in the daily flow or second hand merchandise through the general retail market. Police and criminologists should remain focused on thieves and their apprehension and on pursuing ways to do this more efficiently, such as through improved tracking of pawn transactions. There may be other intervention possibilities as well, but much more empirical research is required to identify them.
