Although there are no confirmed known causes of kleptomania, it’s been hypothesized that it can be linked to depression or anxiety. Given her husband’s occupation in the police force, Jane is often anxious and worrying about his safety.

In this corrupt landscape, it’s not easy for him to make the right call.
