Anxiety, Significant Losses, Depression, and Irrational Beliefs in First-Offence Shoplifters:
Canadian journal of psychiatry. Revue canadienne de psychiatrie, 2000Co-Authors: Yves Lamontagne, Céline Ill Hétu, Richard Boyer, Céline Lacerte-lamontagneAbstract:Objective:To evaluate the relationship among demographic data, anxiety, significant losses, depression, and irrational beliefs reported by first-offence shoplifters.Method:One hundred and six adult shoplifters who were first-time offenders completed a self-administered questionnaire.Results:Men and women were equally likely to be arrested for this offence. The majority of offenders were poor and unemployed. Depression, but not anxiety, was the most common psychiatric disorder associated with Shoplifting. Subjects with depression presented the greatest number of irrational beliefs related to Shoplifting.Conclusions:The authors suggest 2 categories of shoplifters: those who shoplift through rational choice; and those for whom Shoplifting is a response to depression or leads to the fulfilment of some psychological needs. In conclusion, Shoplifting does not have a unitary motive, and the clinical implications are that the affective and cognitive aspects of shoplifters' behaviours must be taken into account.

Shoplifting and mental illness.
Canadian journal of psychiatry. Revue canadienne de psychiatrie, 1994Co-Authors: Yves Lamontagne, Normand Carpentier, Céline Ill Hétu, Céline Lacerte-lamontagneAbstract:A survey of 1,649 Shoplifting convictions at a Montreal area municipal court found that a relatively low percentage (3.2%) of the cases involved mentally ill patients and that there is a comparatively closer link between Shoplifting and affective disorders, alcoholism and drug addiction. The survey also showed that Shoplifting is related more to mental illness than to the use of psychotropic drugs. The authors therefore reject the hypothesis of pharmacogenic Shoplifting which has been reported in some studies on small numbers of shoplifters.

Factors Influencing Adolescent Shoplifting
Proceedings of the 1987 Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) Annual Conference, 2015Co-Authors: Dena Cox, George P. Moschis, James J. KellarisAbstract:In 1981, customer Shoplifting was estimated at over $16 billion annually (Forbes 1981) and annual retail losses were on the rise (Conner 1980) intensifying the need to handle this problem. Because of these figures, retailers are interested in not only being able to predict who will shoplift, but also in effectively preventing Shoplifting.

research note social influences on adolescent Shoplifting theory evidence and implications for the retail industry
Journal of Retailing, 1993Co-Authors: Anthony D. Cox, Dena Cox, Ronald D. Anderson, George P. MoschisAbstract:Abstract Shoplifting is a growing and extremely destructive behavior that is particularly common among adolescents. In order to design more effective programs to prevent this behavior, retailers need a better understanding of its causes. The present paper seeks to address this need by developing and testing a structural model of the social influences on adolescent Shoplifting. Our results suggest that adolescents' involvement in Shoplifting is strongly influenced by their friends' Shoplifting behavior, their attachment to their parents, and their own beliefs regarding the morality of this behavior. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for future approaches to discouraging youthful Shoplifting.

When Consumer Behavior Goes Bad: An Investigation of Adolescent Shoplifting
Journal of Consumer Research, 1990Co-Authors: Dena Cox, Anthony D. Cox, George P. MoschisAbstract:Shoplifting is a troubling and widespread aspect of consumer behavior, particularly among adolescents, yet it has attracted little attention from consumer researchers. This article reports and interprets findings on the pervasiveness of Shoplifting among adolescents, the characteristics that distinguish adolescent shoplifters from their nonShoplifting peers, and adolescents' views regarding the reasons for this behavior. Our findings contradict some popular stereotypes concerning the typical shoplifter and suggest some rethinking about adolescents' reasons for Shoplifting. Copyright 1990 by the University of Chicago.

AAAI - An Automatic Shoplifting Detection from Surveillance Videos (Student Abstract).
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2020Co-Authors: U-ju Gim, Jae-jun Lee, Jeong-hun Kim, Young-ho Park, Aziz NasridinovAbstract:The use of closed circuit television (CCTV) surveillance devices is increasing every year to prevent abnormal behaviors, including Shoplifting. However, damage from Shoplifting is also increasing every year. Thus, there is a need for intelligent CCTV surveillance systems that ensure the integrity of shops, despite workforce shortages. In this study, we propose an automatic detection system of Shoplifting behaviors from surveillance videos. Instead of extracting features from the whole frame, we use the Region of Interest (ROI) optical-flow fusion network to highlight the necessary features more accurately.

Consumer Misbehaviour: Consumers' Perceptions of Shoplifting and Retail Security
Security Journal, 2000Co-Authors: Michele TongletAbstract:Customer theft presents a major problem to British retailers, despite continuing investment in retail security. This paper uses a consumer behaviour research method to investigate consumers' attitudes to Shoplifting, the effectiveness of retail security measures and the factors which encourage or inhibit customer theft. Of the 417 consumers surveyed, 32 per cent admitted to Shoplifting behaviour, with seven per cent having shoplifted within the previous 12 months. The behaviour of the current shoplifters was influenced by their pro-Shoplifting attitudes, a lack of moral concerns about the behaviour, social influence and their perception that Shoplifting is a low-risk, low-cost crime. Recommendations are made as to how the attitudes of the shoplifters can be changed, and thus increase perceptions of the risks and costs of Shoplifting.

Shoplifting as consumer misbehaviour : an exploratory study of Shoplifting applying a consumer behaviour approach
1999Co-Authors: Michele TongletAbstract:This thesis is an exploratory, quantitative study, concerned with investigating Shoplifting as a form of consumer behaviour. The theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1991), a theory used in consumer research, is applied to situational crime prevention theory, in order to investigate the factors which facilitate or inhibit customer theft. The data were collected by means of two questionnaires. The first questionnaire was completed by 417 shoppers using the shopping centre of Northampton, 32% of whom admitted to Shoplifting behaviour, with 7% having shoplifted in the previous 12 months. The second questionnaire was completed by 444 Northampton school students, 51% of whom admitted to Shoplifting, with 18% having shoplifted in the previous 12 months. Analysis of the findings indicates that for the shoplifters in this study, Shoplifting is a rational crime in that the financial benefits from Shoplifting are perceived to outweigh the risks and costs of being caught. Their Shoplifting behaviour is facilitated by their lack of moral concerns about Shoplifting, their positive attitudes to the behaviour, and peer influence. In comparison, the non-shoplifters were inhibited by their anti-Shoplifting attitudes, their strong moral views about Shoplifting, social pressure not to engage in the behaviour, and the Shoplifting prevention strategies of retailers.

Consumers’ Perceptions of Shoplifting and Shoplifting Behaviour
1998Co-Authors: Michele TongletAbstract:A major concern for retailers is how to increase the risk to shoplifters. This chapter reports on findings from a survey of 417 Northampton shoppers. The object of the study was to investigate consumer attitudes towards Shoplifting, the factors influencing the motivations of shoplifters, and the effectiveness of Shoplifting prevention measures. In all, 7 per cent of consumers admitted to Shoplifting in the previous 12 months, and their behaviour was influenced by their positive amoral attitude to Shoplifting and their perception that Shoplifting is a low-risk, low-cost crime. Recommendations are made as to how this perception can be changed, and how the risks of Shoplifting can be increased.
