The Shoplifting Intervention Program’s purpose is to prevent recurring shoplifting behaviors by working with first-time offenders in an educational program.
- The Shoplifting Intervention Program is an education and remediation program for beginning offenders charged with shoplifting. It is a sentencing alternative that is used by the Court either as a pre-trial referral or as a condition of sentence.
- The program examines shoplifting behavior, legal and social consequences are discussed, needs are identified and problems that led to the behavior are addressed, and total responsible behavior is reinforced.
