Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, Michele Van Ryn believed shoplifting to be an act only those under teenage peer pressure or those struggling to make ends meet would perform. She was wrong. Shoplifting truly knows no bounds—but who shoplifts, and why? In To Catch a Shoplifter, Michele lifts the curtain on twenty years of working a job with many names: retail investigator, floorwalker, secret shopper. What she presents is people with a wide variety of backgrounds, motivations, and strategies, sacrificing absurd things just to save a little bit of cash. Whether people shoplifted because they thought they could get away with it or because they needed to scrape by, Michele has caught them all. Join her as she tells over fifty funny, mindboggling, and sometimes heartbreaking stories of apprehending shoplifters.

Download or read book The Steal written by Rachel Shteir and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of shoplifting, revealing the roots of our modern dilemma. Rachel Shteir's The Steal is the first serious study of shoplifting, tracking the fascinating history of this ancient crime. Dismissed by academia and the mainstream media and largely misunderstood, shoplifting has become the territory of moralists, mischievous teenagers, tabloid television, and self-help gurus. But shoplifting incurs remarkable real-life costs for retailers and consumers. The "crime tax"-the amount every American family loses to shoplifting-related price inflation-is more than $400 a year. Shoplifting cost American retailers $11.7 billion in 2009. The theft of one $5.00 item from Whole Foods can require sales of hundreds of dollars to break even. The Steal begins when shoplifting entered the modern record as urbanization and consumerism made London into Europe's busiest mercantile capital. Crossing the channel to nineteenth-century Paris, Shteir tracks the rise of the department store and the pathologizing of shoplifting as kleptomania. In 1960s America, shoplifting becomes a symbol of resistance when the publication of Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book popularizes shoplifting as an antiestablishment act. Some contemporary analysts see our current epidemic as a response to a culture of hyper-consumerism; others question whether its upticks can be tied to economic downturns at all. Few provide convincing theories about why it goes up or down. Just as experts can't agree on why people shoplift, they can't agree on how to stop it. Shoplifting has been punished by death, discouraged by shame tactics, and protected against by high-tech surveillance. Shoplifters have been treated by psychoanalysis, medicated with pharmaceuticals, and enforced by law to attend rehabilitation groups. While a few individuals have abandoned their sticky-fingered habits, shoplifting shows no signs of slowing. In The Steal, Shteir guides us through a remarkable tour of all things shoplifting-we visit the Woodbury Commons Outlet Mall, where boosters run rampant, watch the surveillance footage from Winona Ryder's famed shopping trip, and learn the history of antitheft technology. A groundbreaking study, The Steal shows us that shoplifting in its many guises-crime, disease, protest-is best understood as a reflection of our society, ourselves.

Download or read book Split the Pie written by Barry Nalebuff and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a leading Yale expert and serial entrepreneur, a radical, principled, and field-tested approach that identifies what’s really at stake in any negotiation and ensures you get your half—so you can focus on growing the pie. Negotiations are incredibly stressful and can bring out the worst in people. Wouldn’t it be better if there were a principled way to negotiate? Wouldn’t it be even better if there were a way to treat people fairly and get treated fairly in a negotiation? Split the Pie offers a new approach that does both—a field-tested method that reframes how negotiations play out. Barry Nalebuff, a professor at Yale School of Management, helps identify what’s really at stake in a negotiation: the “pie.” The negotiation pie is the additional value created through an agreement to work together. Seeing the relevant pie will change how you think about fairness and power in negotiation. You’ll learn how to get half the value you create, no matter your size. Filled with examples and in-depth case studies, Split the Pie is a practical and theory-based approach to negotiation. You’ll see how it helped reframe a high-stakes negotiation when Coca-Cola purchased Honest Tea, a company Barry cofounded with his former student Seth Goldman. The pie framework also works for everyday negotiations. You’ll learn how to deploy logic to determine truly equitable solutions and employ empathy to expand the pie and sell your solution. Split the Pie allows both sides to focus their energy on making the biggest possible pie—to have your pie and eat it too.

Book Synopsis Why Rich Women Shoplift - When They Have It All! by : Phd D Crim Brady II, John
Download or read book Why Rich Women Shoplift - When They Have It All! written by Phd D Crim Brady II, John and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statement for Amazon Listing Dr. Brady's newly released book, Why Rich Women Shoplift When The Have It All, provides a unique and "non-psycho babble" view and insights into the twisting, convoluted, sad and devastating world of the woman shoplifter whose negative thefts can, sometimes lead to jail time, even for the "rich and famous." This book, written by a criminologist and California licensed forensic psychologist, answers questions about why well-off women in society, including the celebrities we all read about, choose to steal, when they know it's not in their best interest and many times ruins their professional careers and lives. Most importantly, Dr. Brady emphasizes, "It's not about the stuff," nor is it need or greed that drives them, because they already have lots of luxury trappings and money to spare. It's really about the psychological composition of these women who, on the exterior seem, well, happy, yet on closer examination, they are lonely, disenfranchised, out of control and out of sorts with themselves and those around them. Many are driven to theft because the feel they were dealt a bad hand somewhere along the line in their lives, and now desire to "even the score" so to speak. In a word, they are desperate! They easily could be your neighbor, friend, child, spouse or even your mother. Their psychological hurt, being very real, is somehow compensated, through the short-term lift provided via theft. But, the hurt and thefts just don't end. Dr. Brady sees the rich shoplifter as the real victim, and not Saks Fifth Avenue or Macy's. Questions concerning why these women risk it all when it appears they already have it all then go ahead and steal are answered. For instance, why are so many women shoplifters highly medicated when studies show that drugs often make their thefts recur? Is shoplifting, as Dr. Brady believes, an addiction so they can't stop even after being arrested ten or fifteen times? Why would a highly successful, upper-management and well respected member of the community suddenly begin the extract her own blood after stealing? Why, in fact, are women shoplifters negatively labeled as societal deviants whereas their male counterparts are not? And, why do these highly wealthy yet low on self esteem women become trapped in, what Dr. Brady has uniquely termed, the "Shoplifting Zone?" When women begin to cycle into the theft zone what contributes to them becoming trapped? It's like a shoplifters Hotel California- "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!" Here's what two distinguished behavioral scientists say about the book. " While it is meticulously researched and cited, Dr. Brady writes in an engaging and open manner with real life cases suitable for all readers. This book will soon become the standard-bearer on the issue." Robert Costello, J.D., Ed.D., Chair Criminal Justice Department, SUNY Nassau Community College, Adjunct Associate Professor, Sociology Department, Hofstra University. "Dr. Brady...has written one of the most important and in-depth professional tomes on the social psychological factors that influence women to shoplift." Terrence Shulman, J.D., LMSW, ASCW, An author of four books on shoplifting

Download or read book Shoplifting written by Kerry Segrave and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-10-27 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shoplifting is a practice that has been engaged in for centuries, but it was only after the Civil War that the prevalence of shoplifting and societal awareness of it, became significant. In the 1860s the typical shoplifter was from the lower classes; by 1900 it was an upper-class woman who shoplifted from a huge department store "because" she was a "kleptomaniac", and in the 1960s it was teenagers stealing for kicks. Shoplifting: A Social History looks at the activity of shoplifting for the last 140 years: the types of people singled out as the principal offenders, retailers' ambivalent responses to the activity, selective prosecution, the utilization of high-tech antitheft devices, and suing shoplifters to recover costs. Also examined are media accounts which have often used exaggerated numbers when discussing the activity and the effect of private justice on the offense. Discrepancies in treatment of lower-class women versus "respectable" women shoplifters will be of interest to women's studies scholars.
