Commenting to Rachel's post regarding shop lifting, I think that a lot of shoplifting in the celebrity world is to do with the thrill. After all they can afford it so why nick it? Many youngster I believe shop lift due to peer pressure and having to fit into the crowd. To some it is a image thing maybe in the belief that other kids will be in awe of them for being able to steal stuff.
People who shop lift for necessity is a sticky situation, I think that the authorities need to find some way to help underprivilged families, not the ones who steal for drugs and drink, but the people who genuinely cannot not afford to eat. Putting something in place that won't undermine them or take away any dignity is essential, as a lot of poor people won't go to soup kitchens etc due to pride.
