SHOPLIFTING



In Britain today alot of young adults who are shoplifting more than ever. Shoplifting has been around for many of years. Most people shoplift due to peer pressure, trying to act cool in front of friends or even for a dare.Another reason why some shoplift is because some youths like to have things they no there friends cant.

WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE THAT SHOPLIFT?




  • They may be arrested and paraded through a store in handcuffs.


  • They may face charges for theft.


  • They may be banned from stores or malls.
    People who have been arrested for shoplifting — especially if it's more than once — may end up with a criminal record. This can make it harder to get a job, get into college, or do the other things they want.


  • Even if people who shoplift aren't prosecuted, their names can end up on a national database that some companies look at when making hiring decisions.

What do think about shoplifting how do think we can stop it???
