You are completely running past socioeconomic factors to be the main driver of small scale crime.

Some people are thieves no matter the socioeconomic factors.

And instead of getting them help with their kleptomania, we built an economy where the richest thieves control the world.

Some people are gonna be thieves even if you give them that help. Still others will take advantage of you for having the heart to help.

I’m deliberately vague about the form of this help because I think that trying to keep track of who owns what is actively harmful to human society and we should abolish private property entirely.
It won’t help the kleptos so much as it will limit the impact of their offenses to the personal scale rather than industrial or national scales.
