Theft Awareness Program

TAP

The T.A.P. Program is an economic crime intervention course primarily designed for the offender who engages in shoplifting, embezzlement, larceny, or similar crimes at the misdemeanor level. Economic crime offenses have placed a tremendous burden on society, the courts, and the offender alike. In the area of shoplifting in the United States alone, more than 10 million people have been caught engaging in this crime in the last 5 years. Studies suggest that 1 out of 3 shoplifters will repeat the offense despite having gone through our judicial system and facing the consequences therein. While this information is staggering in and of itself, retail employees steal three times more than shoplifters. Effective educational intervention has been shown to decrease the recidivism numbers for these offenders. The primary goal of our T.A.P. Program is to assist the offender in exploring the following areas through the 4 A’s (awareness, acceptance, accountability, adaptability) as a way to reduce risk for recidivism.
