video, &#8220;Shoplifting The Crime, The Community, The Consequences.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students who completed post-presentation&nbsp;surveys say they have learned that shoplifting can affect your whole life; If you&#8217;re with someone that steals, you can get into trouble too; and shoplifting is more serious than you think.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a result, 3.8% of students are less likely to shoplift after learning that shoplifting is a serious crime that comes with life-changing consequences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>95% of students committed to NOT shoplift after learning that shoplifting&nbsp;is a serious crime that comes with life-changing&nbsp;consequences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
