To a Loss Prevention professional with 25 years experience, the question ‘Why do people shoplift?’ is actually humorous. Suffice to say, the motivations behind shoplifting are as many and varied as the persons who perpetrate the criminal act . Without delving too deeply into psychology, its safe to say that some shoplifters do so for a reason totally unrelated to acquiring the item they are removing, while a portion are full-time professionals who make a good living at it, until they are caught, that is. They can be broken down into two distinct categories, casual or amateur shoplifters and the professional or "lifestyle" shoplifter. For information about the difference between them, and the risks involved with each, read Why Do People Shoplift?
