Shoplifting Curriculum
Offender Solutions® Inc. staff began researching and working with theft offender clients in 1975. At the onset as juvenile probation officers it became clear that imposing fines and license or school suspensions did little to have a meaningful impact on young people, their behavior or their attitudes toward theft or shoplifting. Now, Offender Solutions® is a nationwide leader in providing theft awareness / shoplifting education classes. Offender Solutions® was developed to be the highest quality online shoplifting class available. We use an evidence based, cognitive restructuring and psycho-educational model and focus on the student’s “attitudes, values and beliefs”.
Curriculum
1. Cops and Robbers Thinking – Outlines class expectations and key 1st point.
2. Punishment – Demonstrates why punishment is ineffective.
3. Mental Rehearsing – Explains a poisonous thinking process.
4. License – Shows how people can give themselves permission to steal.
5. Circular Thinking – Teaches logical versus illogical thinking process.
6. Olive's Story – Explains theft in a whole new way.
7. Who Cares? – Addresses attitudes, values and beliefs we each maintain.
8. Summary and Final Exam – Puts the pieces of the class into context.
The primary goal of the Offender Solutions® theft / shoplifting awareness class is for the student to seriously explore his/her own attitudes, values and beliefs about stealing. Our theft class is a distance learning program that has four key objectives:
Objectives
OBJECTIVE 1: Empowerment: To assist the client in developing a sense of personal responsibility for each decision made. Prior to completing our shoplifting course each student will be aware that his/her choices are mostly impacted by themselves and their attitudes, values and beliefs about theft.
OBJECTIVE 2: Education: To inform each student of the long and short term problems associated with theft behaviors.
OBJECTIVE 3: Victim Awareness: Special attention is paid to identify the impact that theft - in its many forms - has on strangers, friends, family, fellow students and work colleagues. Prior to the completion of our theft class, the student will be aware that any one theft incident creates a victim(s).
OBJECTIVE 4: Values Development: The student is exposed to the notion of “values”. This objective entails having the student look into him/herself, introspectively, and weigh their values regarding theft, stealing, shoplifting, etc.
