The curriculum addresses the psychological and social factors behind theft behavior using evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and impulse control training. Key topics include understanding the impact of theft on victims and communities, impulse control and decision-making under pressure, the consequences of criminal behavior including petty theft, shoplifting, retail fraud, and larceny, personal accountability, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and relapse prevention strategies.

We provide flexible program lengths including 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24-hour theft awareness programs to match your specific court order or diversion agreement.
