Reduce repeat shoplifting offenses and drive real behavior change

STOPlifting helps courts and agencies drive real behavior change through evidence-based, online intervention without more admin, more follow-up, or more frustration.

NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AND APPROVED BY COURTS & AGENCIES

SEE HOW YOUR COURT OR AGENCY CAN SUPPORT SHOPLIFTING INTERVENTION

Take a closer look at how STOPlifting helps you refer participants, track completion, and receive documentation while reducing administrative burden.

SHOPLIFTING VIOLATIONS OFTEN BECOME A
REPEATING CYCLE

Addressing shoplifting violations can feel like an ongoing cycle. You’re managing growing caseloads, time-consuming administrative tasks, and repeat offenses, yet still seeing little long-term behavior change.

Traditional consequences alone don’t address the root cause of theft.

And most programs only add more work to your plate.

HOW IT WORKS
  1. Refer your client
  2. They complete STOPlifting online
  3. You receive completion documentation
 
No cost to your court or agency. Clients pay directly. Adult and juvenile options available.

STOPLIFTING SUPPORTS REAL BEHAVIOR CHANGE—NOT JUST COMPLETION

STOPlifting is an evidence-based intervention designed to help participants:

  • recognize patterns behind shoplifting behavior
  • understand triggers and impulse-driven decisions
  • take accountability for their actions
  • develop practical strategies to prevent future offenses

This approach goes beyond awareness—helping participants reflect, build self-control, and make better decisions moving forward.
