Abstract
Shoplifting is a serious social problem in America, with adolescents representing 40–50% of all store-apprehended shoplifters. Middle-class shoplifting, regardless of age, has been found to be linked to psychiatric disorders, including anxiety disorders, substance abuse, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and, among adolescents, externalizing behavior disorders such as ADHD, oppositional-defiant disorder, and conduct disorder. Life span and Marxist-feminist theory can enhance our comprehension of these juvenile offenders and their associated clinical conditions, thereby contributing to appropriate sentencing and treatment, as well as prevention.
