FILM ON SHOPLIFTING BY NON-PROFESSIONAL JUVENILES AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT.
Abstract
FILMED LARGELY IN DAYTON'S DEPARTMENT STORE IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, THIS MOVIE SHOWS WHO, WHAT, AND WHY TEENAGERS, AND EVEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN, SHOPLIFT. EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE FACT THAT SHOPLIFTING IS STEALING AND THAT JUVENILES CAN AND WILL BE ARRESTED AND REMANDED TO JUVENILE COURT IF CAUGHT. PARENTS ARE ALSO GIVEN ADVICE ON HOW TO DETERMINE IF THEIR SON OR DAUGHTER IS SHOPLIFTING AND WHAT TO DO IF THEIR CHILD IS CAUGHT IN THE ACT BY STORE AUTHORITIES.
