Looking for a program to comply with
your court order or simply for help, support and understanding
of why you shoplifted and how to stop doing it, in order to
prevent a future incident or arrest? If so:
The National Association
for Shoplifting Prevention
(NASP), a non-profit organization, has developed a unique
program (shoplifting class) for people in your position called the Shoplifters
Alternative Course (SA Course). The program
is used in hundreds of courts nationwide and presents everything
you would ever want to know about shoplifting, so that you
will have all the facts you need to help you make future decisions
which are best for you.
You might ask: “Why would I take
an education program?” “I don’t plan on
shoplifting ever again.” “I am basically a decent
person who knows right from wrong.” “I don’t
understand how any kind of program would help me to stop shoplifting
in the future?”
To answer these questions, let us ask you a question:
For the vast majority of people, their answer
is, “I don’t really know”.
Maybe it was because you want nice things, didn’t want
to spend the money, felt depressed, frustrated, confused,
angry or bored. Maybe you just wanted to see if you could
get away with it, or you were mad at the world and wanted
to strike back.
Whatever the reason for you, over our long history since
1977, we have come to understand that your act of shoplifting
is largely a symptom and a signal to you
that there are underlying issues in your life which are causing
you to feel excessive stress, fear or emotional pain. The
need to relieve your discomfort creates an impulse to act
in this way.
After impulsively taking your first item and “getting
away with it”, you found some temporary satisfaction
or relief from your internal personal stress, even though
you may also have felt ashamed and afraid.
The SA Course will help bring you a new understanding about
shoplifting; explain how you impulsively make these kind of
decisions; highlight the true impact they have on your daily
life, so you can immediately learn how to make better decisions
for yourself. It will help to change the thinking, feelings
and attitudes you now hold which have allowed you to shoplift
in the past. It will reduce your risk of shoplifting and getting
arrested in the future.
The SA Course is presented
to you on two audio CD’s with a workbook. It takes about
5 to 6 hours to complete. You can use a regular CD player,
a “boom box” or computer to listen to the program.
Your enrollment in the SA Course is strictly confidential
and the program is easy to complete in the privacy of your
own home.
Once you complete the program by answering several questions
and sending us your answer sheet, NASP will send you a Completion
Letter with recommendations and an offer of added
support for anytime you may feel you need it.
Because we receive no government funds, there is a cost
of $75 for the SA Course. However, if money is an issue for
you right now, don’t simply give up … because
the program is important for you. Instead, call us
(toll-free) at 1-800-848-9595 (between 9:00 AM –
5:00 PM, Eastern Time) and we will try to help you. While
you may understandably be reluctant to spend the money on
yourself, remember that you are worth it
and that the cost of a program for you is going to be less
expensive than doing nothing … or trying to do it totally
on your own.
If you have a charge pending with the court,
your completion of the SA Course will demonstrate to the judge
that you have taken responsibility for your actions by taking
an education program, to help ensure that you never have another
incident in the future. This can only help your case.
All program material sent to you will not
be identified as coming from the National Association for
Shoplifting Prevention, but rather from NASP. All credit cards
will read NASP.

Busca un programa que lo ayude a cumplir
una orden jurídica o simplemente busca la ayuda, el
apoyo y la comprensión del por qué roba en las
tiendas y cómo puede dejar de hacerlo?
¿Quiere prevenir otro incidente en el futuro o ser
arrestado?
De ser así:
La Asociación Nacional de Prevención de Robo
en las Tiendas (sigla en inglés NASP), es una organización
sin lucro, cual ha desarrollado un programa excepcional para
adultos llamada ‘Curso de Alternativa al Robo en las
Tiendas’ (en inglés SA Course.)
Muchos tribunales al nivel nacional usan el programa, el cual
contiene todo lo que necesita saber sobre el robo en las tiendas,
dándole todos los datos que necesita para que pueda
hacer decisiones más
Usted puede preguntarse: “¿Por
qué necesito un programa educacional?” “¿Yo
jamás robaré en las tiendas?” “En
realidad soy una persona decente y conozco la diferencia entre
lo bueno y lo malo.” “No me explico cómo
ese programa educacional me puede ayudar dejar de robar en
las tiendas en el futuro.”
Déjeme contestar su pregunta, haciéndole una
pregunta:
¿Por qué robó en las tiendas?
La mayoría de la gente responde diciendo,
“En realidad no sé porque.”
Quizás, usted quiere algo de mejor calidad y no quiere
gastarme el dinero, se siente deprimida, frustrada, confusa,
enfadada o aburrida. Quizás quiere probar su destreza
de evadir a los demás, o estaba enojada con todo el
mundo y quiere desquitarse.
No importa cual sea su razón, nuestros años
de experiencia (desde el 1977) nos hace comprender que el
acto de robar en las tiendas es casi siempre un síntoma
o una señal a usted misma, de una condición
interna en su vida, la cual le causa estrés, miedo
o emoción de dolor. La necesidad de amortiguar su disgusto,
le trae el impulso de actuar en esa forma.
Una vez toma el primer paso de “evadir con éxito”,
siente una satisfacción o mitigación momentánea
del estrés interno, aunque probablemente también
siente vergüenza y miedo.
El Curso de SA, le enseña como tener una mejor compresión
sobre el robo en las tiendas, le explica cómo hizo
esa decisión impulsiva; y cómo puede destacar
el impacto que esa acción realmente tiene en su vida
cotidiana, para que aprenda inmediatamente cómo hacer
la decisión que sea más beneficiosa para usted
mismo. Además, le ayuda a cambiar su modo de pensar,
su sentimiento y la actitud que tiene, siendo estos el instinto
que lo llevó a robar en las tiendas en el pasado y
reduce el riesgo de robar en las tiendas y ser arrestado en
el futuro.
El Curso de SA, viene en dos paquetes de cintas
magnetofónicas (CD), con un libro de trabajo. Se toma
de 5 a 6 horas en completar. Puede escuchar el programa en
un cassette, “boom box” o computadora.
La suscripción al Curso SA es estrictamente
confidencial y fácil de completar en la comodidad
de su propio hogar.
Una vez completa el programa; contestando todas las preguntas,
nos envía la página, a vuelta de correo NASP
le envía una carta de Cumplimiento del Programa,
recomendaciones y una oferta de ayuda adicional para usarla
cuando lo crea necesario.
Si tiene una carga pendiente en el tribunal, una vez completa
el Curso SA le demuestra al juez, que usted asume responsabilidad
por su acto, participando en un programa educacional, lo que
ayuda a prevenir otro incidente en el futuro. Esa es una acción
positiva para su caso.

The National Association
for Shoplifting Prevention
(NASP), a non-profit organization, has developed a unique
program (Shoplifting Class) for juveniles who have been involved in shoplifting
called the Youth Educational Shoplifting Program (Y.E.S.
Program). The program, which is partly presented
by juveniles, includes everything a juvenile would ever want
or need to know about shoplifting, so that he/she can make
the best decisions for their life and their future. The Y.E.S.
Program is currently used by over 10,000 juveniles each year.
As a parent you might ask: “Why
should my child take an education program?” “The
item was only $ .50.” “He says he’ll never
do it again and I believe him.” “He is a decent
kid who knows right from wrong.” “I don’t
understand how any kind of program would help him more than
what we have done already.”
To answer these questions, let us ask you a question:
The answer from the vast majority of juveniles is: “I
don’t really know”. Sometimes it is because
they want nice things, didn’t want to spend the money,
felt pressured by friends, wanted to fit-in but felt unworthy,
not attractive or not accepted, or were depressed, frustrated,
confused, angry or bored. Maybe they just wanted to see if
they could get away with it or were mad at the world and wanted
to strike back.
Whatever the reason for your child, over our long history
since 1977, we have come to understand that the act of shoplifting
is largely a symptom and a signal to you
that there are underlying issues in your child’s life
which are causing him/her to feel excessive stress, fear or
emotional pain, usually related to school, friends or the
situation at home. For kids, the need to relieve their discomfort
creates an impulse to act in this way.
After impulsively taking their first item and “getting
away with it”, they find some temporary satisfaction
or relief from their internal personal stress, even though
they know right from wrong and may also have felt ashamed
and afraid.
The value of the item taken is never the issue because shoplifting
is not about the item, it’s
about the act of stealing.
The Y.E.S. Program will help bring your child a new understanding
about shoplifting in a very different way than he/she was
probably told by friends; will explain how he/she impulsively
makes these kind of decisions; highlights the true impact
shoplifting has on his/her self-respect and daily life so
that he/she can immediately learn how to make better decisions
for himself/herself. It will help to change the thinking,
feelings and attitudes your child now holds which allowed
him/her to shoplift and will reduce his/her risk
of shoplifting and getting arrested in the future.
The Y.E.S. Program is presented to your child on two audio
CD’s with a workbook. It takes about 5 to 6 hours to
complete. Your child can use a regular CD player, a “boom
box” or computer to listen to the program.
Your child’s enrollment in the Y.E.S. Program is strictly
confidential and the program is easy to complete
in the privacy of your own home.
Once your child completes the program by answering several
questions and sending us his/her answer sheet, NASP will send
you a Completion Letter with recommendations
and an offer of added support in the future anytime you may
feel you need it.
If your child has a charge pending with
the court, his/her completion of the Y.E.S. Program will demonstrate
to the judge that he/she has taken responsibility for his/her
actions by taking an education program, to help ensure that
he/she never has another incident in the future. This can
only help your court case.
There is a cost of
$75 for the Y.E.S. Program. If you have a problem enrolling, call
us (toll-free) at 1-800-848-9595 (between 9:00
AM
– 5:00 PM, Eastern Time).
All program material sent to you will not
be identified as coming from the National Association for
Shoplifting Prevention, but rather from NASP. All credit cards
will read NASP.
