Deterring Shoplifting
Shoplifting is the commonly used term to describe the act (by a non-employee) of removing something from a retail establishment, during business hours, without making payment for it. An even more common word, 'stealing,' is also used to describe this act. In fact, there are no criminal statutes known as 'shoplifting' or 'stealing'; they are simply terms used to describe the act. Shoplifting: A Part of Our Culture
Shoplifting is a well-entrenched cultural phenomena as evidenced by the many slang terms used to describe the act that have evolved thru time such as 'boost', 'rip-off', 'jack', 'clip', 'get-over', 'gank', 'pocket', 'swipe', and the truly descriptive 'five finger discount'. The act of price switching, or intentionally altering price tags or stickers on merchandise in an effort to pay an amount less than what the owner is actually selling the item for, is another extremely common form of shoplifting. Theft, petty theft and criminal conversion are the most frequent legal terms applied to the act of shoplifting.
