SHOPLIFTING


Shoplifting is bad because you are taking something that’s not yours. Whether you steal from a friend, colleague, stranger or a shop it is the same. Once you start shoplifting it is a bad habit to break. Why do people shoplift? Is it a need or is it the greed that makes them steal or the buzz they get out of it. Only the culprit knows why he or she stole something.
Many studies show that approximately 1/3 of shoplifters suffer from depression. This explains why some people continue stealing as if it were the norm. They find it difficult to stop as they can almost pick up anything they like without paying. Everyone likes to buy 1 and get 1 free offer but shoplifters steal 1 and get another free it’s their way of satisfying themselves. The majority of people like freebies if you are given by someone that’s fine but helping yourself to one is not so shoplifters shouldn’t steal. There are many reasons as to why people steal and according to shoplifters anonymous site the common reason why people shoplift/ steal are:
• ‘To express feelings of anger, revenge, or entitlement
• To fill a sense of emptiness due to grief or loss
• To try to make life seem fair
• As a thrill or high to escape problems, numb feeling, or ease depression.
