The Use Of Shoplifting And Its Effects On Society

This can cause major setbacks in store production and companies a lot of debt. They are handing over money they are not getting back. Being in this situation, forces them to raise prices to stay in business or pay off what has been taken. Shoplifters who don’t get

The obvious reason that someone would 'love' shoplifting would be that she wanted to have items she could not obtain with her current paycheck. However, the author does have a job, and over the course of the essay she does not specifically identify many expensive items that she would like to possess but cannot buy. "Everything changes when I shoplift. I'm no longer negotiating with faceless, inhuman entities that have no concern for my welfare; instead, I'm taking what I need without giving anything up." Her main complaint with capitalism is the impersonality of its

If you do shoplift you feel immense humiliation and distrust from friends and family, and your own conscious is hurt if it isn't then there is something wrong with your feelings not to feel bad about stealing from stores. Every time you steal from stores they are set back that much money and might even have to fire someone that could be one of your friends.People in the community lose respect for you.

Shoplifting is a major problem in today’s world. I myself was recently caught shoplifting and now I have to face the consequences for the bad mistake I made. The temptation of not paying for something is very big factor in why people steal. The shoplifter thinks he is getting a product for free and doesn't know what he's really doing to himself and the community. Shoplifting affects yourself, your local neighborhood and the world population.

I believe that if I were in that situation, I would try not to steal unless it became a life or death situation for me, or anyone that depended on me. I would try to avoid looting because I know that it would be intentionally harming the company that I was looting for, and also the community, both the economy and the reputation. Nonetheless, I believe that human lives are worth more than the stolen merchandise. If I or someone who depended on me were on the brink of death, I would steal from local stores to protect

Low class shoppers look for things that are free or really cheap. In my opinion, they often look for handouts and things to come easy to them, so all they know is to leech and maybe even steal. I can say that from experience. In the past a couple classmates tried to steal from a store called Claire’s. One incident happened at The Legends and the other at Oak Park Mall. Since they were minors, they were band from the malls for a year. One of them actually went to the juvenile detention center for stealing from Claire’s. The girl that went to the JDC actually shops at store such as Gen-X, City Gear, and Viva Fashion. These aren’t high priced stores at all and their located in the inner city.

Symptoms of mental illness include; impulsivity and impaired judgment and can cause already hotheaded youths to act in antisocial ways (Hinday, 1997).

People have been stealing things ever since there were things to steal. Why buy something if it would be easier to just… take it? Sure, if you don't get caught you can get away with anything.

A dearth of inpatient and outpatient services available for the mentally ill leads to the unfortunate fact that many people with mental health problems end up in jail for minor offenses, such as shoplifting. These behaviors stem from mental illnesses and can be dealt with as such with treatment. Since many prisons are not prepared to provide treatment or design release plans for people with mental health and substance abuse problems, the offenders are often unrestricted after being let out of prison only to be arrested again for another violation. The reality is that 75 percent of mentally ill inmates had been sentenced to time in prison or jail or to probation before their current sentences, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Group 2 was assigned the Rainier and Henderson hotspot in Rainier Beach, Seattle, Washington. This intersection is inside the Beach Square area, and is located in between 3 schools and a community center. A fourth school is located just outside the Beach Square boundary, but was still used within the scope of the project. There are three bus stops and two shopping centers nearby the intersection.

Scenario 1 – The actions I would take is tell that one friend to stop because we can get arrest for shoplifting.
