LLOYD W. KLEMKE is a Professor of Sociology at Oregon State University.
Klemke provides an up-to-date review and analysis of the research and theoretical work on shoplifting. The analysis is structured by the three questions which dominate the sociology of deviance literature: (1) Who shoplifts and how do they do it? (2) Why do they shoplift? and (3) How do store personnel and the legal system deal with shoplifters?
