Shoplifting
M. S. Thirumalai, Ph.D.
Shoplifting is a universal phenomenon. It can happen in large departmental stores, and it can also happen in street corner shops. Shoplifting is quite common in the roadside evening businesses as well. www.dictionary.com defines shoplifting as “the act of stealing goods from a shop during shopping hours.” Oxford Dictionary defines it “the criminal action of stealing goods from a store while pretending to be a customer” (https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/shoplifting).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoplifting presents a descriptive definition: “Shoplifting is the theft of goods from an open retail establishment, typically by concealing a store item on one's person, in pockets, under clothes, or in a bag, and leaving the store without paying. With clothing, shoplifters may put on items from the store and leave the store wearing the clothes.”
Shoplifting is more prevalent during festive seasons. The common element in all these festivities is massive crowds visiting departmental stores, stores and a variety of shops including roadside hawking businesses. “Sale” prices are announced everywhere. Low price and availability of a variety of goods attract crowds, and festival seasons around the world are seen and felt as the right time to buy goods.
