在一项对300名在法庭上行窃的人进行的临床研究中，确定了五种入店行窃的模式。67.6报告每周入店行窃的百分比。总体而言，56%是男性。在成年人中，56.5%是妇女。根据DSM-III的指南，性格缺陷（人格障碍），而不是精神疾病，是病理学的主要形式。在67.7%的案件中，经济利益是主要动机。在72%的成年长期商店行窃者中，经济上的不利条件似乎是一个促成因素。精神疾病在男女之间的分布大致相同。然而，经历心理社会压力的妇女人数几乎是女性的两倍。建议的治疗干预措施是短期的危机咨询，其次是教育，鼓励年龄的罪犯承认入店行窃是一种犯罪，并考虑额外的入店行窃的现实后果。
Five patterns of shoplifting were identified in a clinical study of 300 shoplifters conducted in a court setting. 67.6 per cent reported weekly shoplifting. Overall, 56 per cent were males. Among adults, 56.5 per cent were women. Character defects (personality disorders), not mental illnesses, were the pre dominant form of pathology according to guidelines in DSM-III. Financial benefit was the primary motivation in 67.7 per cent of the cases. Economic disadvantage appeared to be a contri buting factor in 72 per cent of the adult chronic shoplifters. Mental illnesses were distributed about equally between genders. However, nearly twice as many women were experiencing psycho social stressors. The recommended treatment intervention is short-term crisis counseling followed by education which encour ages the offender to admit that shoplifting is a crime and to consider the realistic consequences of additional shoplifting.
