“nationally recognized . . .”:
These statistics come from NASP’s website. A 2007 Washington State study of recidivism and NASP’s methods actually showed a slightly higher recidivism rate, in which 7.3 percent were not rearrested for shoplifting or any other crime. By contrast, Theft Talk’s recidivism rate hovers at around 13 percent. But it’s also worth mentioning that there has not been much scholarly work done on the subject. And what has been done targets young people, who might stop sooner or later or hide their shoplifting more effectively after a time anyway. Further, some criminological studies have concluded that education programs fail to help reduce shoplifting recidivism.
