Is Our Shoplifting Class Right for You?
A Note to our Students:
How about a shoplifting class that won't try to tell you what to do? What would you think about a shoplifting class that tries to provide open and honest information - be it good or be it bad - and then says . . . "It is your decision not ours. What we hope for is that you be informed - we know the choices are yours." Simply stated, we don't make the assumption that you want to change anything. The choice to steal - or not - is only controlled by you. The point is that, in the end that choice will be yours, we will respect that position.
Who is appropriate:
1) Adults or juveniles who have been referred, ordered or required to complete a theft program or shoplifting class.
2) People (adults or juveniles) who have recently been caught stealing, shoplifting or committing any other form of theft, petty theft, petit larcenty etc. and have not been to court yet. Many attornies refer their clients to a theft class as a way to get a pre-trial agreement or diversion and to demonstrte the client is taking the charges seriously.
3) Students who have an theft related referral, as an alternative to expulsion or suspension subject to completion of a theft program.
4) Teens who have a parent who is concerned about their child’s theft behaviors.
5) Youth who are concerned about their own theft behavior and want to gain further education.
Shoplifitng classes can vary a great deal in terms of content and delivery method. Like many things on the internet they are not always what they "appear" to be. Fortunately most of the theft education classes offered online are good and reputable, however, there are a few shoplifting education classes offered that are either a bit deceptive about pricing (i.e., one price is all you really pay), certificate delivery (is it mailed or does it cost more?) or simply do not meet a high professional shoplifting education class quality standards.
Offender Solutions® is a Nationwide Company that has a reputation across the nation for our high quality programs.
Some "Online" shoplifting education / shoplifting awareness programs are not actually a real online service. These shoplifting classes indicate they are an online program because they can be found and purchased on a web page, but in reality the shoplifting class is really a book you purchase or a download file that you put on your computer. This is really not an online shoplifting class but rather a product you purchase on the web.

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tell me about getting started with the shoplifting class.
It really is pretty simple. The first thing you do is get registered so you can take your online shoplifting class - it's free to register. Try not to register more than one time, you will likely lose track of your usernames and passwords and need to call our help center.
When you register you will be asked to input your email address. This becomes important because after you register for the shoplifting class you will be sent an auto generated email confirming your registration. If you don't get an email right away we suggest you check your spam or junk-mail to see if it is there. You will also be asked for the email address of the person who referred you to our shoplifting class (If you have it). It is usually worth taking the time to get that person's email address because that person is sent a confirmation that you got registered for the shoplifting class and again when you complete your shoplifting class.
