he offense after getting caught. The best approach for non-professional shoplifters is for the community to make available a treatment program at a time when shoplifters will be most receptive to it...that is, when caught and/or prosecuted. There are many different types of security. There are security systems that work, and there are those which may be broken or are just for looks. No one can really tell the difference, and it usually gets the point across that he or she should not steel from there. The basic security system is the detectors found at the entrance of stores. I have seen these work, but also know stores which my friends work at in which they say do not.
