What topics are covered in the Theft Awareness Class?
The curriculum covers what counts as theft and shoplifting, the legal and personal consequences, why people steal, thinking errors and rationalizations, triggers and urges, empathy for the people affected, accountability and restitution, budgeting and meeting needs legally, stress and healthy coping, peer pressure, decision-making, and building a personal theft prevention plan.
Is this an anti-theft class?
Many courts and probation departments call this requirement an anti-theft class. Our Theft Awareness Class covers what anti-theft classes address: the consequences of theft, the thinking errors behind it, triggers and urges, accountability, and a personal prevention plan. Confirm with your court, probation officer, or attorney that it meets your requirement before you enroll.
Can I take a court-ordered shoplifting class online?
Our Theft Awareness Class is a self-paced online class that covers the topics court-ordered shoplifting, petty theft, and retail theft classes address. Whether an online class meets your requirement is up to your court, probation officer, or program, so confirm before you enroll.
