I read through the article and I agree that it is wrong for Target and other companies to blame crime for underperformance when crime isn't the real culprit. But that was an example involving 9 stores. There are tons of examples of stores closing citing crime if you search for it. I think it's unhelpful to hand wave all of them away as PR.
