Shoplifting

however you look at it, whatever the reasons, it's still stealing.
who shoplifts? people from all ages, any gender, all economical, ethical, or social background can steal - it's a common misconception that it's just attention seeking, pressured teenagers and hard up people.

There are two types of shoplifters, those that steal professionally - these steal the more expensive things such as clothes and jewellery, so they can sell it on easily - and casual shoplifters, those who don't usually go into a store and intend to shoplift, but see the opportunity and take it.

Some teens, however, do shoplift due to peer pressure and other factors - for example, perhaps they want to see how much they can get away with, or maybe they want to get caught, for attention.

people don't necessarily shoplift because they're in desperate need of something. for instance, many people have enough money to pay for the items they're stealing. reasons could be the rush it gives them, or because they don't like the store or their policies.

But whether the shoplifter does it for a reputation, for attention, for revenge, or for a rush, it all comes down to one thing: it's still stealing and they still have a big chance of being caught... and that could be horribly embarrassing for all concerned.
