Is shoplifting and theft the same thing?


I personally believe theft and shoplifting are different. Theft is much more personal and there is a direct victim involved. On the other hand, shoplifting from a large company does not affect an individual directly and there are fewer risks-not to say it is right!


However, I can understand if people shoplift food in order to survive-again I am not saying it is morally right, but do they have much of a choice? I don't think so.
I found an interesting article on why people shoplift, which can be found on: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4477596.stm
