Essays by juvenile shoplifters on "Why I Shoplift" are providing useful insights into why teenagers steal and, according to Utah physchologist Virgil Brockbank, understanding these reasons can help parents cope with a child who commits retail theft. "We instituted the shoplifting essay program to .try and pinpoint why juveniles steal," said Salt Lake County Juvenile Court psychologist, Virgil Brockbank. The results are not an objective analysis of the problem, but they do supply a range of interesting motives for why teenagers shoplift. In 20 essays selected at random, no less than 46 reasons were given for ns ranging from "lack of money to "It was like a game to "I would rather spend my money on other things to "I wanted to hurt my shoplifting-reaso- parents. The parent-teeconfliect appears to be at the root of many shoplifting incidents. An girl wrote, "I did it (shoplifting) because of revenge and trust. Revenge on my Dad and wanting him to trust me. He never gives me money. That's the way he is with everything he owns. . .ripping off seemed to be the only way to get back at him." Many youths said they shoplifted because they didnt have the money to buy the stolen items and their parents wouldn't give it to them. Or, they shoplifted to hurt their parents feelings. One wrote, "Maybe one reason I started (shoplifting) is that my parents always expect too much from me. I guess I just had to show them that I wouldnt always be able to live up to what they make me to be. And now that I got caught, they are constantly saying, "You never used to be like this,' or you've changed, and "Why aren't you the way you used to be? I get so sick of hearing that! Another form of hostility towards parents surfaced in the essay of a girl who was caught stealing a shirt: "My Mom and Dad don't like the shirts I get anyway, she wrote. They always say it doesn't cover anything or it costs too much. Every time I get a shirt, they don't like it They just treat me as n e Mrs. Lila Gentry returned Tuesday from Kaysville where she spent Thanksgiving with her daughter, Mrs. Rhea Blanchard.

"The important thing ia that the child be assured that he or she still his the parents love when the whole matter cornea to light Many parents, through false notions of love, think that keeping the child out of trouble by covering up or paying the damages will preserve the love between them. Moat parents who do this are only preserving their own not the child's love." Police and merchants recommend that parents intervene quickly when shoplifting is suspected. Any delay may encourage additional problems. Expect your child to face up to what he or she has done, says juvenile psychologist Virgil Brockbank. "Also assure him or her that you will be there as a back-up-. Try to avoid siding with the child even if you see a bons fide injustice. Some careful questioning of e, the child proposes to handle the situation will help the child learn from experience.

"Many teenagers don't appreciate the seriousness of a shoplifting conviction until it happens. A criminal record can be a short term embarrassment and a lifelong barrier, said Virgil Brockbank. A essayist said it this way: Tm not going to shoplift any more because it's too much trouble for nothing. how Roosevelt arrests made in theft cases Roosevelt City Police have arrested four men in connection with thefts from two city businesses.
