I personally think that if you can not afford to buy something in a shop then just do not go shopping. If you have the money then fine go and buy what you want. But if your going into a shop and intending on not paying for something and you get caught then its your fault.
I understand that people may shoplift due to peer pressure, young children may not know the consequences of shoplifting and therefore carry on doing it. But for adults and teenagers they just need to get a job to pay for things.
I read an artical on the bbc website about shoplifting and why people do it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4477596.stm

I totally agree with you. Most times shoplifting is done just for fun of it, which makes it all that much more worse. If your a small child then at least you can be excused as you may not know, but if your a grown child or an adult, then you have no excuse. I think punishment for recurring offenders should be more severe. At least they will have to face the consequences of their actions, instead of just getting away with it.
