Stop ShopTheft Program
The Stop ShopTheft program is an educational/information program for persons charged with theft.
The program uses an educational solution focused model to encourage participants to generate their own ideas, solutions and goals on how to change problematic thinking, feeling and behaviour that has led to their involvement with the criminal justice system.
Each participant is expected to attend the full session (three hours), actively participate and complete practice assignments.
Upon successful completion of the program the Crown will be notified.
