Book Description
This revised (2002) edition of psychologist Dr. Will Cupchik's book is written for both professionals and laypersons, including those usually honest, ethical and law-abiding individuals who have offended against their own moral code by stealing, and those relatives and friends who wish to be of assistance to them in seeking to stop this ultimately potentially self-destructive behavior.

Shoplifting "facts" by Cupchik appear questionable., April 1 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Why honest people shoplift or commit other acts of theft: Assessment and treatment of 'atypical theft offenders' : an educational resource for professionals (Hardcover)
Fair book with very large font. Cupchik makes some generalizations that are questionable. Most of his writing is based on two studies that he has authored with a very limited sample, and these are slammed into a strong psychoanalytic theory for discussion. Although the text is thought provoking, more validation is needed to test his conclusions. Overall, fair book.

So GREAT I couldn't put it down!, Feb 29 2000
By K. Huffman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Why honest people shoplift or commit other acts of theft: Assessment and treatment of 'atypical theft offenders' : an educational resource for professionals (Paperback)
I have worked in the retail security field for years, and found this book to be right on the money. His insight into the mind of the shoplifter is incredible! If you work in security you HAVE to buy this book...
Listmania!
