Shoplifting

SHOPLIFTING CLASSES

Shoplifting is a serious and costly crime which hurts youth, their families, stores and the community. It is the most prevalent crime in the US, averaging approximately 550,000 incidents daily equaling losses of more than $35 million per day.

Today if you ask a juvenile caught shoplifting “Why did you do it?” the most frequent reply is “I don’t know” or “It’s no big deal” suggesting a lack of awareness about the crime as it relates to themselves, the victim and the community.

  • 25% of juveniles admit to having shoplifted beginning between the ages of 12 – 16.
  • 86% of youth caught shoplifting know other youth who shoplift.
  • Studies show that while a juvenile may have been caught shoplifting for the first time, it is rarely the first time they shoplifted.
  • Even after getting caught 1 in 4 youth say it will be hard for them to stop shoplifting.
