“Why do
people shoplift?” is one of the frequently asked questions included in this volume in the FAQ: Teen Life
series. The nature of shoplifting as
well as ways to help people overcome the addiction to it are well presented here. The volume is divided
into five essential frequently-asked
questions. In each, the author gives factual information
to answer each question, augmented by narratives of specific shoplifting
situations. For example, the case of
Winona Ryder begins the volume.
The layout of the text is attractive, with color photos and good use of graphics in the chapter headings and opening pages. Myths and facts about shoplifting are highlighted.
Supplemental material includes a glossary, extensive bibliographical references and a comprehensive index. With the topic simply and clearly presented, this is a valuable book on an important subject. It should prove to be a welcome addition to middle- and high-school collections.
