Shoplifting

Shoplifting is bad. I remember as a child taking sweets from the local supermarket the pick and mix. Many people who shop lift do it to gain more money!! Shop lifting happens more than people think. There are different types of shop lift amateur or professional. However a shoplifter can be any race, gender, age, social and economic background. There are a number of reason why someone would shoplift: no money for the things they want, greed, because it was easy the first time so I'll keep doing it, need money for drugs, someone can class this as their job and people think there will not get caught so I'll carry on.






Getting caught shoplifing can have bad effects on the family of the shoplifter. However if it is just a one time thing the person it likly to get a cauious. However if it is a long term thing, police could become involved which could have bad effects on the whole family. You could get a criminal record, get sent to prison and have a bad name for yourself. Other people that it could have a affect on is: the store owner and their family, workers at the store and yourself.


Shoplifting has been in the news a hell of a lot as we are in the middle of a recession. 20% more items beind stolen then ever before. With clothes being the highest item sloten form shops. Company are lossing an average £1,595.66 per ncident in the UK.
